Thank Goodness for Friends!

Winter is REALLY dragging out! Tracy and Holly and their kids came over to play yesterday...it was so good for them all to play and get some energy out. Hudson was even entertained by the madness. We thought that we were gonna get snowed-in but it only snow for a half hour or so...the kids had fun and played so good together. We have had so much sickness that we haven't been able to play with friends much lately.

Hudson (in the floor), Luke, Addy, Virginia, Henry and Bryce...eating popcorn and watching Rudolph, yes, Rudolph. I told them that they could only watch it for a little while because we have all had our limits on TV lately.

Sweet Bryce

Luke and Hudson fell asleep today on the way home from Murfreesboro. And, yes, I got them both in bed and am having a few quiet minutes:-)

New Year's Eve '08

We had a great time on New Year's Eve with the Byerly's, Church's, Huddleston's and Rosenblum's. We did not stay up until midnight. The kids all came in their pj's and everyone went home at bedtime. My how times have changed!!!

Day After Christmas

After spending Christmas night in Murfreesboro, Newt's dad and Frances came from Atlanta. We had another great time with them. I did start to slack on taking pictures...these are the only ones I took that day.

Luke opening his bag of horse figures.

Hudson got his own stuffed animal. Luke loves his animals and they are off limits for Hudson to play with. So Hudson needed his own. Of course Luke told me later that it was his. Poor Hudson will never have anything for himself.

Christmas Day in Murfreesboro

After breakfast in Milan on Christmas morning, we loaded up and went to Newt's mom's house in Murfreesboro. We had a relaxing time and ate even more great food.

Hudson was such a trooper throughout all of the festivities and crashed in Grandmother's arms.

Luke couldn't get past his fascination with Grandmother's stocking to see what was inside.

Socks!!!

This train set was Newt's when he was little. We couldn't believe that he was letting Hudson sit in the middle of it. We really couldn't believe that Hudson was sitting still and only watching Luke play. Hudson is into EVERYTHING these days.

Christmas Morning...Santa

Christmas morning we woke up at 6:00. My dad always wakes us up early "I won't let the sun come up on this Christmas." He says this every year. Luke was thrilled by his presents from Santa. After we play with our new toys we have a LARGE Christmas breakfast...yum!
