New Year's Eve 12/11

 We celebrated at home with an early "dance party" per Elise and Mal's request.  We also tried a family picture using the timer- hilarious.  2011 was the absolute best year of my life.  The addition of Lane to our family was more awesome than I ever could have imagined it would be.  She completes me, completes our family (Jerry Maguire anyone?) and I look forward to the years ahead with Brian, the girls, and that rascal of a dog.  Happy 2012!

Memaw's Surprise Party 12/11

We had a surprise party for my mom on New Year's Eve for her 60th bday.  We had a great lunch with our family, some folks from her work, and some of my aunts/uncles.  All of the cousins had a blast running around with each other and helping Memaw open presents.  My aunt Joyce (who is also Zippers the clown- seriously) brought some of her gear and made balloon animals.  It was a nice celebration.

Christmas at Papa & Betah's 12/11

We had Christmas dinner at Papa and Betah's.  The girls were so excited - Mallory's favorite gift was new sparkle shoes and boots and Elise's was more Little Pets.  Lane got to meet Great Grandpa for the first time.  It was very nice and the girls were very good.
