Another Christmas video

In this video Johnathon receives a toy that startles him when he opens it. I will load some pics. and video from Sara's trip to the Music City Bowl early next week. Hope everyone has a great Nappy New Year!

Christmas Eve festivities! Dinner and Presents

The kids, grandparents, parents and all the noise that goes along with a fine, traditional Christmas. We had a nice, uneventful evening with a great dinner. The kids all had lots of fun with games and each other. Christmas Day was kind of a bummer because Nana and grandfather got a flat tire on their way over to our house. I spent almost an hour and a half on the phone trying to get the kid's new phones activated with Verizon. After we ate we went over to Nana and grandfather's house and took them some food. Kim also made Nana's lamb and rice dinner. It was delicious.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hope you have a Merry Christmas! We are having Nana and Grandfather, Kelli and her friend Ken, Alie and Maddie, Bryan, Jan, Johnathon, Katie and Jenni over for Christmas Eve for Lamb and Rice, snacks and presents. It should be an interesting evening. And I WILL have A Christmas Story on the TV in the background! OK, I got a new camera from work that I am going to try out with pictures and video! I've got a Youtube account all setup, too. So, I'm going to let the out of towners see what we did on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. On Christmas Day we will be having a nice big, fat, juicy smoked ham from Big Boys. Allright I'm making myself hungry. God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas!!

Gary's Christmas Column

I wrote a Christmas column for the newspaper and thought you may like to read it. Here is a link to my column - Gary's World. I hope you enjoy it and have a Merry Christmas!

SMHS Dance Team ~ Music City Bowl Bound

Sara is on the Stone Memorial High School Dance Team and will be performing during the half time show at the Music City Bowl football game Dec. 31 at 3 p.m. The game is being televised on ESPN TV. All the girls are really excited about it. There is a full story about the dance team going to the game here. It's a great opportunity for these girls.

New Blog and Family page

I decided to create a new Blog and Web page to try and keep our family and friends from out of town updated on what we all are doing in our busy lives. I saw that Monica had one of these pages and thought it would be a good idea for us to do the same. Thanks Monica!

We are getting ready for the Christmas season and it has already been very busy. Sara has a gotten a very big role in the upcoming play at the Cumberland County Playhouse. The show is Peter Pan and she will be playing the role of Tiger Lilly. It is a very exciting part for her to have.

Dylan and Sara both received their letterman's jackets from Stone Memorial High School. They are very excited. It was part of their Christmas present. Dylan already received a letter in band and he isn't even in high school yet! Sara received her letter last year for being on the dance team. They both are doing well.

We took our Christmas picture for 2007 at our church a couple of weeks ago and will be sending them out with our cards soon. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
