We had a youth group Christmas party at our house and Cole made everyone squish together for a picture so that he could "look back and remember all y'alls smiling faces" ;)
Jooj came home from college and we had fun goofing off, working out, shopping, getting her ears double-pierced, etc. She left yesterday and I miss her already!
We had Christmas in Asheville and of course we had to take a cousin picture of Caroline & Claire showing off the dresses mom made!
Christmas day was as blurry as this picture! Seriously. Craziness with five kids running around! Claire, Caroline and Bruton all got dress-ups and loved running around together!
Claire's gift to me was puking all over my lap and mom & dad's office floor Christmas night. Then she got a cold and cough to go along with it. Yay. Not!
Clay-man was pretty bewildered by a the fuss and threw me for quite a loop by deciding that he wasn't going to nap anymore. I'm still trying to convince him that I'm the mom and I'll decide when he's old enough to quit naps (I'm don't think he's listening though... he's hollering at me from his crib as I type).
My little brother James decided to gross us out with his molestache ;-)
The kids all used uncle Sammy as their playground on the one day it was nice enough to go outside.
We came back to Aiken for second Christmas and finally got a family picture!
Claire got a cookie-making set from Dee & Pops and proceeded to serve all of us :)
Then New Years came and I ushered it in with a bladder infection. Gross, I know :) Was that too much information? I guess I just want you all to share in my pain. It is horrible! I finally got some drugs today and feel much better.
Also, we're house hunting and that is so much fun! Best shopping I've ever experienced! We're going to Atlanta (actually it's Cumming GA where we'll be living and working, but I say Atlanta cause it's easier) next week to look at places, both to rent and to buy. Woo hoo!
That's it!
These are great pictures!
