Say What?

Since today is the official beginning of the Christmas season, we've pulled out the Christmas movies starting with ELF. It's our favorite. We've been repeating lines from the movie all day today.
1. I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it!
2. You sit on a throne of LIES
3. I love smiling. Smiling's my favorite.
Any more good lines?

Happy Thanksgiving

My sister left Knoxville on Tuesday, and then Wednesday came Big Mama, Aunt Polly (accompanied by Birdie), and Uncle Justin and Aunt Christi (accompanied by Prissy). Our house was a used car lot/dog kennel for about 2 days. All we did was eat and sleep. And then repeated those two activities about every 3 hours.

AFTER...

We REALLY missed Poppy this Thanksgiving. It's his FAVORITE holiday! We thought about you all day, and we're really thankful for you. We love you!

Picture Perfect

We had the kids pictures taken all together while they were here. Sandra Ryan came over and took them for us. She is so good. Let me emphasize that just a little bit more. She's SOOOO incredibly patient and creative when taken family pictures. This is the second time she has taken our family pictures. Here's just a sample of the 100+ pictures.

You accidently throw a disposable diaper into the washer?

Answer: It swells up like a balloon and weighs about 7 pounds. Thank the Lord it didn't burst.

New Camera Obsession

Remember that cool thing I told you my friend Shanle showed me about my camera? Well, I just think it's the coolest, so here are a few snapshots.
