Christmas 2013

 The kids to touch and talk to our elf, “Shag” on Christmas Eve before he flies back home for the year. (Although, he stayed an extra 2 days with us for some reason. :-)

 Mason’s turn. Not sure how much longer we can pull this off. 

 Buie loves Shag. He kidnapped him the day after to have him sleep in his bed! 

 Annual reading of Mater Saves Christmas with Granny

 Don’t forget to feed the reindeer!

 They look excited to be able to come down stairs

 At guess at 8,6 & 4 they still believe!

 What would Christmas be without a little wrestling with Grandpa?

 A lot of frames Jack Davis prints from Grandma. So cool!

GEORGIA Football

This experience will probably be the highlight of Mason and Buie’s Christmas! Aunt Kelly and Uncle Parker arranged and took them to go watch the Georgia football team practice. This is a very rare occasion and who knows if they will ever get the opportunity again. But man was it awesome. They got to play catch with Aaron Murray, push sleds on the field, meet coach Richt and get their football signed by most of the players. Not sure how much they appreciate what Uncle Parker had to go through to set it up, but Chris and I sure do. 

THANK YOU!

Mt Bethel Basketball

 Buie’s team, that Chris helped coach saying a prayer before the game

 Buie loved playing basketball and was a team full of boys he already knew, so it was fun

 Mason didn’t take long to pick up the game of basketball

Trouper Celie had some friends to help her pass the time.

Pictures with Santa

 how cute is this? 

My nephew, Walker whispering to his sister and the look on Santa’s face, like “How dare you not pay attention to me!”

Dad and Pam’s 20th Anniversary

We celebrated Dad and Pam’s 20th wedding anniversary as well as Dad’s birthday just after Thanksgiving. We surprised them with a British theme,  since they went to England for their honeymoon.

Everyone but Ryan I believe. (That’s hard to do)
