House Builders

It was an unexpected but much needed surprise.  We were being lazy around the house, when Renee texted and asked if Hads could join them for Gingerbread decorating.  Then she asked if Els and I would like to join them.  It was a great way to kick off the holiday season.

I can't get over these grown up young ladies.

When you walk in and this greets you at every table...you know you are in for a treat!

When you tell The Red Head no more candy, and she puts another piece in her mouth and smiles at you....with the dimples....always with the dimples.

Serious concentration going on....art takes time....and serious concentration.

Santa going down the chimney with Rudolph by his side.  Crafty girl made Rudolph out of Tootsie Rolls all on her own.

After we finished our houses, we posed in Cinderella's carriage.

Found the perfect spot for the houses when we got home.

Happy Turkey Day!!!!

I took the week off of Thanksgiving and got productive.  I love getting the tree up the week of Thanksgiving, then when we get home from Alabama, Christmas is already ready for us!!!  Posing with our work before we headed out to LA!!!

You know just posing in an alley in LA!  These girls are hip like that!!

Bell Bell and her girls.

We even got PawPaw in a picture and he was SMILING!!!!

Mean Muggin

Muggin with my girl...I love snuggles on the couch with The Red Head.

Shouldn't have answered your phone

He thought I was joking, when I called him and asked him if he would pull in the gas station and pump my gas......what can I say it was cold!!!!  He should have left before I did, then he wouldn't have been right in front of me!!!!!

Strollin'

An afternoon stroll with friends.

A WILD time was had by all

For Els birthday "party" we headed down to Pine Mountain with her friend Emma.  We stayed at a hotel that had a pool, which was a huge hit, then hit up the Animal Safari the next day, which was in one word, HYSTERICAL!!!!

Sister trying to get her to float, it didn't work.

Snuggly sweet girls, they were so tired.

When navigating the Animal Safari, you must rent a van.  Not because it is an amazing ride, you just don't want your ride trashed by the animals, you will see in a second.

See.....look at that tongue....the slobber.......EWWWW!!!

Dahling, I love you but give me Park Avenue!!!!

Wayne found a friend.

Talk to me friend!!!!

Two little posers at the petting zoo!!!

Celebration Time come on!!!!

Els birthday celebration that night consisted of a quick dinner at Cracker Barrel (her pick) then home to open presents and have cake.  Bless her BellBell and PawPaw gave her a bunch of bling bags and girl friend was thrilled.
