A Holly Jolly Christmas



Wowzer, it's been a long time since I've posted. There wasn't much to post up until Christmas, just working some and relaxing at home. We've had another great Christmas with the family. Nothing can beat the old traditions: decorating cookies, caroling with the youth group, Christmas Eve at Mernies, homemade custard and fudge, Christmas morning at Mamaw and Papaws, and playing cards and games.
We've also been dodging the plague all month, and unsuccessfully. About half of our church has been very sick, and we haven't been exempt from it all. It's gone from Dad, to us kids and then back to Mom. I just hope we can all get over it and be healthy again. I guess I would rather be sick at home than school though (I've got my mommy to take care of me here). Wow, we'll be back at school in about a week and a half. Only me and Bri will be back in school though, because Kurtis graduated this past semester. Of course, he was gloating about not having to go back. For his graduation present, the family all pitched in and got him a HP laptop. I think he was pretty suprised, but I think Dad wanted to keep it, because he was always playing games on it!

Anyway, we got plenty of awesome presents again this year. Bri got 3 pairs of shoes! I got some clothes and almost a double barreled shot gun! (long story) I don't think Mr. Evans would have let me keep it on campus, anyway.
Well, I might try to post again before we leave next week, but I'm not promising anything! Have a very Happy New Year, and try to make resolutions that you'll actually keep!

Now that I beat Diana...why on earth is your mom sniffing your dad!?

Well, in reply to Jack's inquiry...I think she's kissing his shoulder. If you know what I mean.

No, Ma is not sniffing or kissing Daddy's shoulder...I think I was begging him to be nice to me!
Bri has been a good girl but Lain almost had all of her Christmas gifts taken back for her bad behavior! She can be very mischevious you know....

Yes Mrs. Parson that sounds JUST like them! I'm sorry they've been such a hassle. I will try my hardest to keep them in line this semester
