Christmas -- Rounds Two, Three, and Four

Christmas Round Two -- December 23, 2009 -- Dinner with Net and Uncle Buford's family. We had a great time....Net gave everyone special gifts.....gifts that meant something to her. Aunt Carole gave everyone a picture with a copy of a poem writte by our great-grandfather (Warren Duncan Buford) in the second grade,
"Thunder rolled
Clounds got big
Lightening struck
and killed a pig."

Christmas Round Three -- December 24, 2009 --- Dinner with Poppy and Dee and all the Strain cousins.....there were four children under four....it was so fun to be with "believers" the night before Santa was coming!

Christmas Round Four --- December 25, 2009 -- Wake-up to Santa with Olivia and Mr. James House. Breakfast with Poppy and Dee. Lunch with the Williams clan at JO and Babbs house. A long afternoon walk. Then cards at Steve and Beth's house.

Christmas--Round One

We celebrated our first Christmas of 2009 this weekend. We will be with Oliver's family on Christmas this year, so we celebrated with my family early. And we had more to celebrate than just Christmas. Thomas is ENGAGED! He proposed to his girlfriend on Friday night.....so we had lots to celebrate. I could not be more excited to get another sister! Here are some pictures:



Thomas and Laura---besides their stockings!




Sis and I doing our annual baking with Mom---gingerbread house is a little crooked....

Busy Busy

We have been very busy lately. Between the LSU game, Thanksgiving, working on the house, and getting ready for Christmas I have not had a lot of time to post.

But here are some pictures from our busy lives.....
