I got a new laptop for Christmas. It's really neat.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We got to see all our kids and their families. God has blessed us so much this year. May God bless you and your family in 2010.

Pictures of my Mammaw...

Here are some pictures taken recently of my Grandmother. We call her Mammaw, some of you have ask me how she is doing now that she is in the resthome. To tell you the truth she would rather be living by herself, but that broken hip has really slowed her down. Brian, Me, Mammaw, Joey and Jeff.
Me and Mammaw.

Christmas Fireplace...

Ok, Ok!! Some of you have been wondering about the fireplace and how Darlene decorated it for Christmas. Here are some pictures to let you see what she did. By the way, we love our fireplace and feel like it has been one of the best investments we have made in a long time.

My desktop with a knelling Santa. One of my Baskin-Robbins friends made this for me. Thank you Judy!

My daughter-in-law loves the talking/singing "Willy the Lamp Post" ;-)Notice there's nothing in Darlene's stocking yet!

Our Christmas tree. We are working on wrapping the presents before the grandkids get here.

Here's the fireplace. Notice my stocking , on the left is plenty big enough for lumps of coal and bundles of switches!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out some of our pictures. Remember, "Jesus is the reason for the season!". Merry Christmas and God bless you...

Fireplace, just in time for Christmas...

We ordered a fireplace from Sam's Club as our Christmas present to each other this year and we received it just in time to hang our stockings. This fireplace uses cans of Real Flame gel to create the fire. The flame pictured here is using only two cans, we can use up to three at a time, and it does get hot. Darlene loves it.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great week. God bless you...

They grow up so fast. It's fun to see how they have changed in some ways and are still the same in other ways. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our pictures. Have a great week and God bless you...
