Getting caught up. :)

We did not have a cedar tree this year!!!

It's a lot easier to decorate a tree when the branches are strong enough to hold them up!!! :)

Trevor was so very sweet and helped me wrap the lights. It would have taken me forever without him!

Benjamin came up from Texas to pay us a visit over the holiday!!! :) I can't remember the last Christmas he was here for. :) It was GREAT to get to see him for a little while... :) He is so Funny!!! When he is around there is always more laughter through out the house.

Here is a picture of all my parents Children...

From left to right you have: Lance, J.E.B., Benjamin, Consie, Sheppard, Me, and Adah.

:) The whole Family minus Consie's Family...

Back row: Consie, Sheppard, and Benjamin. Middle row: Me, Daddy, Mom, and Adah. Up front: Lance and J.E.B. :)

On Christmas Eve all the family gets together, stays up way to0 late and opens presents. :) It's wonderful getting to spend this time with each other!!! Trevor came over this year and celebrated with us.

Here we are handing out gifts.

It's a blurry picture but here is mom with the oldest grandchild Christan. :) They are all getting so big!!!

Ryan chilling in Dads chair and enjoying the back massager. :)

Benjamin and Howard (Consie's Husband).

:) Charity, the youngest of the gremlins as Shepperd fondly enjoys calling them.

Consie had a dentist appointment this morning so she dropped Charity off to hangout with me for a little bit her at work. :) It was a lot of fun having her. I think Sam enjoyed it too!

Daddy taught us how to play set back. His mom and Dad used to play it a lot.

Daddy Reading the Bible before we opened any presents Christmas Day.

The most Wonderful man in the word (... Or at least I think he is)
proposed Christmas Eve. :) We have set the date for March the 28th, 2009... which is 81 days away!!! :) We have lots and lots to do!!! :) It's been a blast!!!

Mrs. Castlebury and I went shopping for fabric this Saturday. :) It took us literally all day but, we got a lot covered. We found all the material for my dress, the flower girls dress, and the bridesmaids dresses. :) Mrs. Castlebury was a huge help... I could NEVER have done it with out her!!!

News on the house... The Sheetrock is all hung and Trevor started putting up trim this last week!!! :) On Friday we went, picked out and ordered the hard wood floors and our wedding bands. :)

We would greatly appreciate your prayers. There is lots to get done and even more decisions to be made.

:) Have a great day!!!!
