Shadowboxes

I've been wanting to make these for awhile now... I bought the shadow boxes about 4 months ago and I finally found time to do them... I hope my girls will appreciate these one day! I love them... I can't believe my babies are growing up so fast...

Christmas in PIckens County

 Christmas at Jeje and Pops was great minus the fact that we had to take Emmecat to the ER the first night we were there... I just knew that she had the flu.... Her temp was over 104 and she was pitiful! Turns out, she just had a nasty upper respiratory infection.. They gave her a steroid shot and some meds... She didn't eat for 3 days... She loves to eat, so I knew she was sick... We celebrated being together the whole weekend! James and Holly were home and Dr. Sam was too! There's never a dull moment when all 9 of us are there.... It's crazy to think how our family of 5 has grown!

We love Aunt Holly



 

 I guess she can cry and pout now that Santa had already come

 

 Ella can make James do anything she wants...

 



Volleyball Player

My princess started "Volley Tots" today.... Her daddy wants her to be a volleyball player so bad, and she is definitely built for it. I think she was more into her outfit than anything else but shhhhhh! Don't tell Cam. :$

Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was a little different for us..... Since Ella was born, we have always gone to Aliceville, and for 31 years, I have woke up at my parent's house on Christmas Day and I liked it that way....even after Ella was born. Two years ago, I said that it would be the last year we would do Christmas Day there....then I caved the next year... This year, Cameron and I decided that we would stay here and Santa would come here, and we would relax and enjoy being a family together....We decided going up to Aliceville a few days later would be just fine.... I still had mixed feelings about it a week or so before Christmas. Christmas Eve, a sweet friend invited us over to their Christmas Gathering....it was nice....and I might add that they live in our neighborhood, so that made it even better.... We came home and put our pajamas's on and made Santa some cookies.

Ella and Emory must have been very good this year....

Christmas morning I couldn't wait for them to get up.... Ella jumped up as soon as she realized it was morning, Emory, on the other hand, slept until about 9:30.....

Breakfast made by yours truly....

The girls played all day and we spent most of the day in our pajamas....After lunch, Cam and Ella went to see a movie, and Emory took a nap while I cleaned up and had a moment to myself... It was nice... 



 

Cam and Ella went to see a movie while Emory and I stayed home. Emory took a nap and I cleaned and had some quiet time to myself... It was nice! We later went to eat dinner with some friends and I was thankful for their invite!

It was a great Christmas! It was fun to start our own Craker traditions!

 

We left a few days later to go to Aliceville.... That will be the next post... :)
