Christmas Morning

Have I told you how much junk we accumulate on Christmas. I say "junk" with the best of intentions. Its all really great stuff, but we don't need another material thing. It always bothers me when people ask me, "What do you want for Christmas", and I can't come up with a thing. With that being said, we started off Christmas morning with the gift exchange between the hubs and myself. Santa also brought Wilson some treats as he had been a very good pup this year. On a side note, if Santa had to sit up at night with Wilson during a thunderstorm, he might leave switches and ashes in his stocking...I digress. On to the presents...











I saw this stuff called "Monkey's Butt" at Duluth Trading Company where I had bought some other gifts for David....I needed $10.00 more for free shipping, so I bought a little Monkey Butt...


And just what every runner needs.....


Wilson jumped for joy at the sight of his stocking....


And licked his lips at the contents...


Then we headed over to Vick's for Christmas with the fam....














Another fabulous Christmas in the books! Great time with family and friends!

Caroline's Wedding Weekend

Everybody knows that when the Phi Mu Superfriends get together, its gonna be a good time. Well, I will say that Caroline's wedding weekend was one of my favorite times EVER with the gals...and their hubbies/significant others as well. We stayed at the most fabulous place EVER in Destin. Its called Henderson Park Inn and I recommend it to ANYONE looking for a great place to stay. To tell you how nice it is, they have a big refrigerator with candy and cokes in it....and its all complementary. (I really showed my hillbilly side when the lady told us this...) When we walked into our room, this is what we saw...









After having a complementary candy bar, we got ready for the rehearsal dinner. It was fabulous and Kent's father was a hoot giving a toast to the fabulous couple!








Uncle Dave and LuLu played a little with the camera...


Breakfast at the Inn each morning was absolutely to die for. The chefs there prepare you just about whatever you want and it is top notch....




After breakfast, we took a walk down the beach with John Robert and Lindsey...then we took a little swing. That was right before Kent's Dad permanently disfigured us in a rare swing accident...










Then we headed out to the wedding...




It was a tad windy... :)












If there is a dance floor...watch out....






The open mouth photo thing really took off..







Love this group!!!


Awesome weekend! Can't wait to do it again with Lindsey in March and Ann Taylor in April!!
