Who Knew!

I have discovered that I like brussels sprouts!  I made them with dinner on Tuesday and I liked them.  And I ate them for lunch today and liked them even more!  Who knew!  Layne knew he liked brussels sprouts.  Now I know how yummy they can be!  :)

Maybe they were so yummy because I tossed them with a melted mixture of butter and brown sugar - sprinkled with pecans!  Does that negate the nutritional value of a funny smelling green vegetable?  I don't know!  But I liked them!  :)

Oh,I haven't forgotten about December - we had so many fun things happen in December!  I lost some pretty fun pictures - so I'm trying to get past my mental block!  Anyway, December in Review, soon to come! :)

The South and Snow!

You know you're a "redneck" when...

A Pause!

In playing "blog catch-up" I must pause to say...

Happy 40th Anniversary to my amazing parents!

We sure do love you guys! 

You know how much?  :)

So cute!

During our Thanksgiving vacation these two were quite the "entertainers."  They even made and delivered invitations for show times!

Thankful - Part 5

All the kids love to be at the beach - especially Kyler!  He just never seems to tire of the water, sand, and waves.  He loves Uncle Ryan's skim board and was determined to learn some kind of trick on it this year!

This is what he came up with...  

On Black Friday most of the girls went shopping and where was Kyler?

In a hole... 

next to a relaxing Layne.

When we got back from shopping and walked down to the beach...

we buried him.

He tried to get out but with little success.

So daddy helped.

And McKenzie wanted to be the "rescuer" - but with little success.

 So daddy saved him!

 What a perfect time we had in St. Augustine!  

Thankful - Part 4

We also got to just hang out and have fun!



The girls broke out the curlers!



Aunt Betsy is awesome!  Notice her haircut - Aunt Jana gave haircuts to everyone!
Yep, Aunt Jana is awesome!



Kyler was determined to learn new tricks!



I think we ate ice cream every single day!  Awesome!



Jeremiah and Kavan spent hours in the pool!

Collin spent more time in the pool than he wanted!

We tried to tell him not to mess with Aunt Betsy!

       We play BINGO every year and this year was no exception!

The prizes!  Can you imagine the excitement?!?  Awesome, G'ma!

    We tie-dyed!

Great shirts, huh?

And Aunt April took family pictures!

Notice Eliza and Grandpa in this picture!  There were some pretty funny
moments during our photo shoot!

McKenzie and Eliza being so patient!

Funny, funny Rebekah!!!

That Aunt Betsy always seems to be causing trouble!!  :)
