happy, merry, very belated: new year’s, christmas, chanukah, and my favorite– festivus!
…And any other holiday I might have missed! ;) I hope you had a very merry holiday season. Mine was jam-packed full of your typical holiday activities. I think the best part was having family visit from the west coast. We had so much fun while the fam was here– It’s fun having visitors; it gives us a chance to be tourists in our own town. A big thank you to those who made the journey to our home for the holidays– thanks for making our first turkey day, Christmas, and New Year’s so memorable in our new house. Love you guys!
Did you receive a merry holiday wishes card from our house to yours? You say, you didn’t? Don’t worry if you feel left out, nobody did. My bad. I’m actually thinking of starting a new tradition of sending Happy Groundhog Day cards to friends and fam to give myself plenty of buffer time for that task or maybe pushing it out even further to 4th of July. Don’t be surprised if you receive a holiday card from us in February :)
You may be wondering why couldn’t we send a holiday card sometime during the entire month of December??? Hubby and I have been very, very, busy bees since about a week before Thanksgiving through New Year’s entertaining friends and family and even squeezing in a trip to the northeast for hubby’s holiday party. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it!
So here’s to wishing everyone a very happy, merry, very belated: new year’s chistmas, chanukah, and my personal favorite, festivus! And a happy and healthy 2009!
For your entertainment… Here’s some pics taken during the holidays. Check out that preggers belly! Don’t you just love the pic of me playing Wii??? I think it’s hilarious! Enjoy!

Was that last pic taken at the Stone River battle field? Just wondering because it is close to where I live.

I love your blog! I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures of your family. I hope you don’t mind my Mom sent be a link to your blog. You look so cute pregnant! Festivus is one of my favorite holidays:)
Your house looked awesome for the holidays.

I know this is an older post, but I just started putting the pictures together with my thoughts. I don’t think this was the first time you have been to show your nut hump to Elvis. He seems to know you. You seem to know him. Is this plastic Elvis’ baby? Don’t deny.
