Callie's Sick Day

I stayed home with Callie today because she was running a fever. After I FINALLY convinced her she did NOT have to go to the DOCTOR, she willingly took a dose of Tylenol. Here's a video of her once the meds kicked in!
(Thanks Mom and Dad for the FLIP camera--it's so cool!)

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays to everyone--I hope that all of our friends and family enjoyed welcoming in the New Year! Our holidays were very busy as usual. Here are a few of the pictures from our wonderful week of celebration.


On Christmas Eve we took the kids to Children's Service at TWUMC--they have a precious reenactment of the nativity. We then went to The Fosters for some delicious turkey gumbo, grilled oysters and Cosmos for the ladies!

On Christmas morning, the kids awoke to a huge display of toys---I suppose someone thought they were well-behaved this year!
One of the boys' favorite gifts was their PSP game systems and their video rockers--they spent the entire day playing their new games.
The boys also received new desks for their rooms--they were very excited to be able to have a place to work on their school assignments.
Callie's big gift was "Maya" the cat.
We had a great Christmas morning---Chad received a new bike and I have a new Blackberry.
(It's sooo cool, but I'm having trouble figuring out all its features.) Later that day, we headed to Bethany and Brad's for brunch. All the kids were thrilled to show off their new toys and gadgets.

That day after Christmas, we packed up and drove to Louisiana to see the family. We had a great time visiting all the nieces and nephews. The grandparents completely spoiled the kids again this year--the kids have a new Wii, Guitar Hero, night vision goggles, and whole bunch of other stuff that we could barely fit in the car!!

I was even able to sneak out for a much needed Ladies' Night--it was a blast as always!
Happy Holidays to all our friends and family--may this New Year bring you all good health and happiness. We love you all!
