Dwain & Amanda Minor

In the middle of getting ready for Christmas this year I had the opportunity to take pictures at one of the most romantic weddings I have ever been to. They had some friends from college play the piano and the flute as people were ushered in. They also had the grooms brother and xgirlfriend sing The Prayer where the male is singing in Italian and the female is in English. It was so beautiful. . .

Dwain and Amanda, I wish you the best of luck.

Christmas Eve Eve

We spent Christmas Eve Eve with Scott's family. We always have such a good time hanging out and spending time with family. Scott's mom got each family the neatest gift. We got Christmas dinner in a box. Ham, potatoes, pie fixings and then all the breakfast stuff the have left over ham and pancakes. This was one of my favorite gifts. I love to eat! Scott and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary.

Christmas Eve

I say every year that I am going to have everything done before Christmas Eve. All the presents wrapped, wrapping paper put away, all the Christmas treats made, house clean, etc... That way I can just sit back and enjoy the holidays. This Christmas Eve was no different. I had two large presents wrap. . . .Maybe next year. Breanna and I had a lot of fun earlier in the month decorating the house. Our tree was different this year and we all loved it. . .

It just would be right if you don't have one present wrapped like this. . . . Two tone wrapping paper is a must. The box was just too big for the paper I had left.

Hope Everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!

Band Concert

We went to Christian's first ever band concert on Monday night. Christian was so excited he wanted us to invite all the family. The band sounded really good and Christian was all smiles with a few strange faces. Unfortunately, the drummers were in the back so I couldn't get a good picture of him.

There's a THIEF in the house

We keep having things mysteriously disappear from the last place it was. It doesn't matter if it is socks, wash rags out of the hamper, or in this case the empty tube from the paper towels. Daisy has turned into quite the little thief. Luckily, we have learned that her hiding place is either in her bed or Skeeters.

Skeeter has also got his sneaky side. He watches Daisy chew on a bone and then when she turns her back he sneaks over and takes it and runs to a place where she can't jump yet. . .like the couch or in this case the bed. Then he pretends like he hasn't done anything at all.

What would we do without dogs to keep us entertained?

Last Thanksgiving Turkey

We had our 3rd and final turkey with Scott's mom, dad, sisters and families. Scott would have liked to have another 5 or 10 turkey days. He loves Turkey. We had a great time spending time together.


Breanna was not into pictures as usual, however, the boys had a great time being goofy.

Family

I had a little time on Thanksgiving to get a few shots in of some family members This is Jeremiah my cousin Bubba's son. He had a little left over food on his face but I still like the photo.

This is Libbie my cousin Lee's youngest daughter. Her sister Amber is actually hiding behind her.

This is my Aunt Susan and Uncle Joe with 2 of my late cousin Jason's kids, J.T. and Jacob. His daughter is now married and has moved to Arizona I think and didn't get to make it in for the holidays.

Thanksgiving Day

We spent Thanksgiving Day at my mom's house. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. No one cares how much you have to eat. My Aunts and cousins all come over for a nice visit. My mom makes the Turkey and Dressing and everyone else brings a dish. I love the variety of food. . .

Since my dad's health is not what it once was my little brother has taken on the task of carving the Turkey. Three years in a row now and he hasn't mess up. Not that we would know. We just like to eat.
It wouldn't be right if you didn't have a small sample.

My dad has become quite the baker now that he is home all the time. He made us home made wheat and white rolls for the dinner.

Thanksgiving

We started out Thanksgiving Holidays with a slumber party with Scott's family. We cleaned up some of his families land, ate wonderful food, guys hunted, and we played games. We all had a blast. I'm kind of disappointed in my self. Some of the old farm stuff laying around look so neat. I should have got out and taken some pictures before the clean up. Garrett and Christian took a dive in the leaves before the were burnt.

Allen, Ryan, and Travis got up on the roof and cleaned out the gutter and trimmed some limbs back.

It's hard to see unless you make the picture bigger but Mike was on water patrol keeping everyone and everything safe.

We always have a blast playing cards and games. Kristy look so serious. Wonder if she is winning or loosing.

Poker

Scott has been playing online poker for a long time. I decided a while back to give it a try. I found out I'm not too bad at it. I usually play on Full Tilt Poker. I like the cartoon characters for the people. My user name is Spunky72601. I have won a couple of 9 person tournaments but never a 18 person. I recently won my first 90 person tournament and had to take a picture of my great accomplishment. (haha) I won 7200 in play money. Too bad it wasn't real. I think I have lost all of that and some more trying to win again.

Santa Came Early

Apparently, I was good again this year. . . . .Santa came early with a variety of Dell boxes. Scott surprised me but had to tell me about his thoughtful gift. I now have my own computer to use for my camera stuff and don't have to share with any one. I don't have to wait my turn for the good computer. . . I have been waiting for this special gift before I downloaded my pictures from my camera so I have lots to share.

I forgot to mention that Scott must of have been good this year also because he got a computer just like mine.

Thank You Scott.
