Freeman Christmas

We gathered with the Freemans on December 31 this year to celebrate Christmas & New Year's Eve all in one! It was a day full of family & fun!

The kids had a lot of fun that morning riding 4-wheelers & dirt bikes & lawn mowers (yes, a lawn mower with no working blade... they love it!). I intended to take pictures of all that, but was too busy making sure everyone was driving safely :)... and they did. We ate, watched movies, opened presents, shot fireworks... it was a great day and a great end to 2011!

Grizzlies Game

It's been a busy day! This morning we headed to Bells to ride 4-wheelers at Cacki & Papa's house, and to visit with Papa for his birthday today. Papa & Cacki even rode 4-wheelers with us! That was so cool, and so much fun! Cacki fixed us a yummy lunch for Papa's birthday before we headed back home to rest up for the afternoon, because tonight, we had tickets to a NBA Grizzlies game!
Hudson had an awesome time, mostly due to the fact that our friends, Mr. Kevin, Mrs. Ashley, Coleman & Camryn went with us :) The highlight of the game for Hudson was when the Grizzlies scored 100 points. He was paying attention :)
I'm not sure there was a "highlight" of the game for Cade. ha! He was asking to go home from the moment we got there. (go figure :/) He did immediately look for & locate the cheerleaders, though, as soon as we sat down. ha!
It was my first Grizzlies game (Howie & the boys had been to one before). I enjoyed the night out with family & friends :)

Too funny!

These two will most likely be embarrassed by this post one day, but it is too funny not to note :)
Cade & Callie both love to take a bath. They laid down on their tummies in the tub this evening, looking at bathtub books. They laughed and laughed at themselves, thinking they looked too cute and were just a funny pair! Love, love, love these two silly kiddos :)

Christmas morning 2011

Christmas morning was super-exciting around here this year!!! The kids were surprised & happy... Santa himself must have been jumping with joy, too :) We had a great morning together checking out all the goodies that Santa left under the tree & in our stockings, going to church, opening our gifts to/from each other, and visiting & sharing with our family that dropped by. A very merry Christmas indeed!

Guess we stopped using the camera at this point :), but we were certainly happy to have Aunt Thelma, Janet, MawMaw & PawPaw, Gran & G, Cacki & Papa, and John come by and spend part of the day celebrating Christmas with us & the kids. 
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!
