Christmas Pictures 2009

Here are some pictures we took during Christmas week 2009. There were so many we couldn't decide which ones to post, so there may be more later. ☺Noah gets a phone from Mammaw and Poppy. What's a 5 year old need with a phone? Maybe to call us!!
Aly got a phone from Mammaw and Poppy, too.

Austin opens a money counting jar from us.

Garrett opens a gift card.

Gavin watches his Dad open a gift card. "Can I help you spend it?"

Joey opens one of his presents on Christmas eve. He was sick that day.

Kelly at the Williams Christmas party on the 22nd.

Melissa opens her present while Jeff watches.

Darlene opens her personalized baking pan. I think she likes it.

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.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out our pictures. Have a great week and God bless you...

Friends, Food and Fun...

Tonight we went with our friends, Diane and Jerry to the Feed Mill Restaurant. We had a great time and the food was good too. If you ever get a chance to go there you need to try it out.The Feed Mill.

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 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...

Reminiscing today...

Today I was going through some old pictures and found some of the Grandkids when they were younger. I thought I would share them with you. Hope you enjoy them.Austin in 2003.

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...
