December and January fun...a little late!

It has been a little crazy around here and I am just now getting around to posting my Christmas pictures! (My excuse is that we have bought a new house and are in the process of painting, packing and slowly moving...but more to come on that later!) Hang on b/c this is a lot of pictures...

December 2009

Ella Tate and I stayed with Pop and Nana the week after Thanksgiving and had a great time. One afternoon, we went to ACA (my old high school) and watched a basketball game with Aunt Rachel, Uncle Jeff, Anna and Olivia. Ella Tate had a blast!

Ella Tate got her hair cut by Miss Billie one day, which was very special to me b/c she has been cutting our family's hair for over 30 years!Then we went to Vernon, AL to celebrate Christmas with my dad's family. Hunter met us there and brought Ella Tate and I back home.
