What You Missed....

Why is it that when there's tons of great stuff to blog about, I drop the ball and don't blog!!! Perhaps it's lack of time!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up on what you missed with a photo essay.
Our Jelly Bean becomes St. JellyBean every Christmas. He grows out his beard and has his whole head dyed white. He has an awesome "suit." Not many folks get a private photo shoot with Santa in their living room! (This pic was only after phase one of beard-dying.)

My nephew brought his fiance "home" to meet us all. She's a tiny little cute thing and we so enjoyed being with her!

Fiance had never been to a Winn Dixie but loves the book "Because of Winn Dixie." So at 9:00 one night, guess where we took the poor little deprived child!

Fiance is an avid basketball player. Had the nerve to do what no girl has every done....challenged the Hero to a little one-on-one. She let him win...

These two cousins adore each other. They are two of the sweetest, mild-mannered boys you'll ever meet.

We have an annual family reunion the Saturday before Christmas. This is my beautiful Grandmother. She keeps a tab of who is at the reunion and who is NOT. Let's just say you're on the black list for an entire year if you dare not come!

Here's all the grown up girl cousins. We had a special surprise this year. One of our long lost cousins has come back into our lives after 25 years. Can't tell you how wonderful to have her back!

This is my 14 yr old nephew, Giraffe. He is a Braves fanATIC. He used his own money to by Atlanta Braves garb for my kids so they can rootrootroot for the home team.

This is my niece KayKay. She was just accepted into the nursing program at the Medical College of Georgia and was one of the first ones notified which means she was at the top of the list. I'm literally bursting with pride for this HOMESCHOOL GRADUATE! WOOHOO!!!

This is my Doodle on Christmas Eve in her new Pinkalicious pajamas from her Aunt Debalicious.

New Years we did nothing at all exciting. But this past weekend, we visited the eastern side of Georgia where Hero's dad lives....and took in Savannah, Brunswick, and St. Simons Island while there. Here we are with some friends over there at the Japanese Steakhouse.

We took the kids out to the beach at St. Simons....Can you tell it was windy?????

Well, there you have it. A VERY scaled down photo essay of the past few weeks!!!!

Many blessings to you this new year!
