TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I'm so excited to see my friends tonight, Wesley has told me to be ready to go at 7pm, I cant wait to see what he has planned.

The last night we were home, mom & dad cooked an amazing dinner for mine and my brother-in-law- Chris' Birthdays. Mine today the 5th and his one day behind, BUT many years older, on the 6th! This was our mixed cake.

And here are the handsome Chef's

It took all 4 of us to blow out the candles

I got the Droid X

Chris obviously LOVED his gift

We invited over some of our family and ended the night playing Michael Jackson The Experience on the Wii. It was AWESOME!!

Jack cleaned up the mess when everyone left

Santa Came!!!

On Christmas morning we woke up to watch our nephews scream with excitement over what Santa had brought. It was so cute and brought back those memories of being young and waiting to go downstairs to see our gifts. It always felt like a little miracle happened every time! I just couldnt believe it!

This is my mom's beautiful tree, she has over 700 ornaments, elves, rotating candy and tons and tons of lights. It takes her forever to get it decorated. Oh, and of course all of our prezies!

It was a watch christmas for everyone

Mom got a surprise TV from Dad, and Dad got a surprise TV from Mom

After we finished opening presents with my family, we rode over to see Wesley's family and open gifts there.

This is ALWAYS a good face to see

Before we knew it we were back in the car headed to my other grandparents house to have Christmas Lunch and swap more gifts. My uncle Bob had me and gave me a beautiful Santa Clause. Wesley got this blown up Sports Illustrated cover of Cam Newton from Aunt Lyn.

The rest of our time was spent relaxing with family and having a little birthday party too...show you that tomorrow!

Wesley already has jack playing football.

HO HO HOLIDAYS

We had such a great time in Cordele over Christmas. It was so nice to relax and spend time with our family. We had a surprise visit from our cousin Lila Jane.

Isnt she precious...Jack loved her too!

We had Christmas Eve Lunch at my Grandparents house with all of moms side of the family.

Aunt Kim & her girls with Me, Mom & Krissie

Mom is one of 4 girls. The best thing about this get together is sitting at the kitchen table with all the girls telling stories and gossiping.

The boys were outside playing in the yard so Wesley & I joined in the fun.

After the Christmas Eve service we came home and did the annual picture session.

We get to open one gift on Christmas Eve, it is always our ornament. I talked about that here.
Jack was trying to figure out if he liked it or not.

Jack NEVER stops going, but he finally cuddled with me and I had to get a pic.

Then we got to play Santa

Tomorrow you can see what we got...
