Last Post for 2008

Yep, folks, this year is almost over and for me it really is. I will be way to busy to post again. I hope you all have a very Happy and safe New Year. i know I will be partying down with some friends.

Christmas was awesome. Christmas Eve the Blackwell Gang came to the house and we celebrated with finger foods, way too much, I am here to tell you. The kids got gifts and had loads of fun. We adults just enjoyed each other's company. My sis in law and her fam came as well as my MIL and UIL. The MIL did good, I was so proud of her, no breakdowns at all. One slight one but I told her to suck it up. Not those words exactly but basically. LOL!

Christmas Day we went to my parents house and ate the traditional friend oysters and eggs. It was soooo gooood! Presents were given out by Kerry-she was Santa. We took turns opening gifts from youngest to oldest. I believe I had the most gifts this year, some really special ones, a cookbook from Trisha Yearwood, a cookbook from Disney World, and a Mickey Karate ornament.

Kerry had a great Christmas. She got a radio for her car and many other great pressies. I will post pictures next year.



Much love and I pray that everyone will have a blessed 2009.

FOOD BOXES

Saturday, Kerry and I help the church deliver food boxes to the needy. We delivered to 5 familes. We got lost 1 time because the address we were given wasn't the correct one. I tried where I thought it was but went to the wrong house. Everyone was very happy to recieve the boxes. We were given lots of hugs. I thought that this would be a rewarding experience for Kerry and it was. I saw her tear up a time or two.
I know it was very rewarding for me. We are blessed!

Daniel

Saturday December 13, my long lost brother brought my nephew to have Christmas with Me, Momma, Kelly and Aunt Jean. Daniel had a great time. My brother- who the heck knows.... He sat in the kitchen the entire time, barely spoke to anyone and tried to get all biblical on me adn I had to spout out the verse on Judge not lest ye be judge and he shut up! He should know better than to mess with me and my Bible Verses! He knows I knows I know more than him. Any way, Daniel fianlly got to spend sometime with his family on Christams, even if it was early.

True Love!

12/6/08 was the date for Western Reflections annual Christmas Party. It was held at the Amber LEaf in Gallatin. We had an awesome time. Comedian Wynn reichert performed for us and had me laughing at times so hard, I couldn't breathe! We collected presents for local children.

The food was awesome and I also found a beer I like! I usually hate beer but now I like Blue Moon. We had beautiful flowers and the Venue (Amber Leaf) was decorated beautifully by the owners.

I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2008 was spent in 2 days. the Sunday before, Kerry, Kelly and I hosted Kelly's sister Kristy and her family and Kelly's Unlce Dale. My mother in law was not feeling well so she did not attend. We did send her something to eat by Kristy. We had a great time. Kelly's nephew Trevor was the laugh of the party! Joey was hunching on Fifi and he said : Awe, look, Joey is getting a piggy back ride from Fifi". OMG, we all laughed our butts off. He laughed too but didn't realize why we all were laughing so hard.

Thanksgiving day, kelly and I went to Goodletsville to my Aunt Jean's house to eat with her, Kyle, Kyle's friend-Zach and my parents. There was way too much food, but it was delicious! Of course we brought home lots of left overs.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving I was suppose to go to my 20th High School reunion but I was in the Er with stomach pains. Still haven't found out what is going on there.

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving.

Sorry this post is late!
