It's Been a While!!!

It's been a while since I last posted anything, so I decided that I would do that today!...Christmas was pretty good. My cousin and niece are both engaged. My sister is ready to deliver baby #6 sometime this month. My brother and his wife are preparing for my 1 year old niece's surgery and making preparations for baby #2 in August. All in all, it is looking to be a pretty interesting year.

We celebrated Christmas with our normal rounds.

December 20 was my step mom's side of the family...finger foods and presents for the kids! (aka Barbie for Alysa & remote control truck and Magnetx for Jacob)
December 24 Christmas Brunch with my Mom's side...pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, biscuits, milk, orange juice, and plenty of COFFEE!!!!!...Lots of fun goofing off and relaxing with siblings and cousins. We are a crazy group of people that love each other...Presents from the heart...we opted to draw names and make the gifts this year. It was really neat. I love the blanket my sister made me. It is SO warm!!! Thanks, Sissy.
Christmas Day was interesting. We exchanged presents with my husband's fam, via his Dad. Lunch with the oldest kids ant their mom's. Yep, we had lunch with my stepkid's mom. We actually get along pretty well. (Some people call us abnormal and crazy) Then supper with my Dad and step mom. The kids had fun and received nice presents. It was a lot of fun despite the phone call at lunch informing us that my husband's grandmother was in the hospital, but it turned out OK.

I celebrated my 31st birthday at home with my hubby and kids. It was nice to see how many of my friends wished me a Happy birthday on facebook and to have my family call. I love them!

On New Year's Eve, my husband, Ally, and I went and met with the church board of the new church that we are attending. My husband will be ordained and become the Youth Minister on Sunday, January 11. We are really excited about this. Please pray for us as the Lord will be using us to grow and new Youth Ministry in the G-Vegas area. It will be a lot of fun, but also, a lot of hard work!

Anyway, I believe that is about it! Much love and blessings to all!
