Most of the time I don’t carry my big honking camera with me everywhere I go.  I am loving my new phone camera, so a lot of the pictures I took over Christmas were with my phone.  I wanted to post these on the blog so I can cherish them forever 🙂

We had a great Christmas on the farm with Nannie, Nana, Poppy, Aunt Bonnie, Jarrett, Aunt Karli, and Lindsey.  It was so nice to be home and the farm is always so peaceful and a great place to eat and then go take a long nap!  No city noise out there for sure! 

The boys got spoiled rotten by their grandparents and had the best time playing with each other.  I’ll definitely remember this Christmas fondly and I’m so glad we all got to be together as a family.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas too and may the good Lord bless you all in 2012!!!

The beautiful scenery

Watching A Christmas Story and playing….the year went by too fast.  I want Connor to grow up and have the best childhood I can possibly provide for him.  He’s my lovey.  Terence and Connor are the best things in my life and I thank God every day for the gifts they are to me.  I love you with all my heart!  Here is to many more great memories over the next year!

Terence and I started off Christmas vacation with a bang!  As soon as I got off of work we drove straight through the night to Arkansas.  On Wednesday we celebrated Jarrett’s 2nd birthday.  It was so nice to see my sister and Jarrett.  I hadn’t seen them both since LAST Christmas….I know major sads 🙁

Bonnie had a monster party for little J and all of his friends and our friends came by to celebrate with us.  I’m so glad we all got to get together, we don’t do it often enough and it sure was nice to see the friends we grew up with….and all their kiddos too! 

Below are some pictures of the party and please continue to keep Bonnie and Jarrett in your prayers as they adjust to their new life there in Arkansas 🙂

We are having a very merry time in Arkansas! Lots of love to all of you and your families!

We will be back to our regular scheduled programming tomorrow!!!

Tonight was Jarrett’s 2nd birthday party and so many of our best friends from highschool were there….with all their kids too! I love you all and it was so wonderful to see you and your babies!

Last night we had dinner over at Aunt Loyce and Uncle Garry’s house.  They were so sweet to have all of us over.  We had a blast and it was a great way to kick off Christmas week!

After all the festivities are over I have gotsta get back on my diet….ugh….that is all.

If you want to see a frazzled fro headed Momma look below.  I just got off work and then drove home like a mad woman in the rain.  I had no idea my hair was looking so bad???  Terence doesn’t tell me these things!!!!  (Just keeping it real)
