Pics of Emmett's Birthday and a few others

After we had one birthday party
in Junction, we took him out to eat
at Red Lobster on his acutal Birthday
the 26th. He picked Red Lobster because
that is where we took Memaw for her birthday
and we had "Extra Large Brownie" for
dessert. Since then Emmett has asked us
to take him there a million times. So, that was on Friday,
and Saturday he wanted to have his friends over
to stay the night. So, Saturday my house was full of
8 crazy boys!! It was a lot of fun.

Emmett got golf clubs from
Mom, Dad, Clayton and Molly

Christmas Eve after a beautiful
Church service in which I was
so please to have Mom and Dad
there, we celebrated at Uncle
Brad and Aunt Stacy's.

Santa again???

Bops sporting his usual clothing attire on
Christmas morning at our house

Santa brought the big 4 year old a new
John Deere bike. I remember when I was a little
girl I got a bike and rode it in my house
too!

Christmas in Junction 2008

We had Christmas in Junction at my
Mom and Dad's on December 20th.
We spent the majority of the afternoon
taking family pictures. This is the first
time that my family has ever done anything
like this and it was really a lot of fun.

After we took pictures the kids played football and
then we all went out to eat and treated
Mom and Dad to a nice steak dinner. While at dinner
we also celebrated the 1st of 3 Birthday parties for
Emmett who turned 6 on the 26th. It was truly a wonderful
day.

Clayton wondered how many times Santa
