Yet Another CHRISTmas Celebration

Hanging out with Ed doing guy stuff in the garage, cooking a CHRISTmas meal, playing several games of cards, laughing, making CHRISTmas candy,building memories, enjoying the beautiful weather from our patio, telling the meaning of CHRISTmas, answering questions about CHRISTmas, opening gifts and sharing time together made our CHRISTmas time special. They were not expecting CHRISTmas gifts but each received a NIV Bible, either a MSU or Ole Miss (don't let it be said that I spent $$$ on Ole Miss shirts), each received a cap donated by Brother Elton plus there were other small gifts for the each of them. Baby Glory received her first baby doll.

On Sunday night someone treated them to a night of bowling and then we went to a house to play wii (bowling & golf) and ate pizza. We all had allot of fun! For a fuzzy ah moment, on Saturday I asked Daniel if he wanted to watch a movie? He said, "no, I want to be with you." My heart melted once again!

Family Time

I'm not for sure how many hours we logged playing Rummikub! (This game is also called Rummy-o) What fun to share with family! The gingerbread house was made by Marion Grace and was too beautiful to cut! Looks like Nolan is pointing a thumb @ Courtney! Isn't Austin cute? Sure wish I could sit that!

Merry CHRISTmas

CHRISTmas in Canton

Canton Mississippi is a quaint little town that has had the honor of having had several movies filmed around the town square. Willie Morris the author of many writings and know for his movie "My Dog Skip," is among some of the well known people that called Canton home. Mississippi native John Grisham also had a couple movies filmed in Canton. Last night we had the opportunity to spend time with some friends from Seattle, a couple Africans and nine from Burma. Excitement was high as we walked the town square and watched people and looked at the little city that is outlined in lights.

The Night It Snowed In Mississippi

The perfect end to the staff CHRISTmas party was that I boogie boarded with James down the side of a hill! Thanks James for being such a fun kid!

Before the staff CHRISTmas party, we made a stop and surprised Rehmas with a birthday cake! Wonder if he has ever seen snow before?
