Happy New Year!

  Preston took this picture for us.  We are enjoying pancakes each morning for breakfast

Enjoying time in Arizona with Erik and family.  They have an amazing tree with bright oranges and dark green leaves on most of it, and a few branches of perfect grapefruit on the other side.  We made  fresh orange juice for breakfast and it was delicious!

Christmas 2010

Kydon and Shanna came to see us a day or two before Christmas so we could enjoy the anticipation together for a day.  We had a fish fry, went to a live nativity and spent Christmas Eve Day doing a hike at Pine Mtn.  It was just right for getting out....cool and crisp but cold enough to feel like Christmas.   We went to Fox's for pizza and stromboli after.  Then home to get ready for the big day.

This year was the first time Terry and I have spent Christmas without any of our kids around us.  We decided to go to dinner at Outback with our friends the Bowen's.    Then home to watch Mr. Krueger's Christmas before time for bed.  We enjoyed opening gifts on Christmas morning.   What a happy time, and we loved talking to all of you  on the phone to hear how your special morning went! It really was a Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving with some of our family at our house for the big feast.  It was warm enough for shorts and we got to spend some time at the park just playing around.  Scott brined the turkey which made it so moist and tasty.  Celebrating Peyton's first birthday was also fun for all of us.  He is a cutie!

Dane and Laura came from Texas and we all enjoyed them so much....especially the kids.  Laura is good to play outside with them and Dane is always fun to talk to.  We went to the UGA/Ga Tech game too.  Cold as could be and Granny got sick the next day....but was worth it to be together.
