Christmas Morning

Some bloggin' catch up. Whew! So our Christmas morning

looked like this:

We still had snow remnants from a week

ago and just added beautiful freezing rain.

I am so thankful Ronnie's trees withstood the

weight and did not fall on ours or Sandra's home.

Whew!

But the weather did wreak havoc on our cable.

Amazingly our power did not go out at all like many others

around us. We had no clue some members

of the branch were without power for 72 hours.

And we were complaining about no cable

for just a few hours.

Luckily all power and cable

was restored and many still managed to

have a very joyous Christmas.

My kiddos. I was so amazed that they slept in past 7

and even when they did wake up, they were oddly quiet.

The 4 oldest all received Leapfrog Didjs.

Ms. Bella received a wide assortment

of Dora & Strawberry Shortcake toys.

I am so glad to see the Strawberry Shortcake collection come back

out. I sure loved mine many years ago.

Ethan & Larry enjoying their Didjs.

I will say that I love the educational games

that didj offers. My only complaint is we seem

to constantly be updating their didjs on the computer.

What a real pain.

All 5 kids received sunglasses. Ethan & Ruby are sporting

theirs. They wore these everywhere

we went for days and days.

Ugh, sticky candy cane saliva on the chin.

you gotta love those sticky little faces.

Grandma Priest, this picture is for you.

Ruby is posing in her new 3 piece

Hello Kitty outfit.

She absolutely loved the bedazzled

kitty on her shirt and jean jacket.

And we can not forget that embroidered kitty on her

behind.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas.

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house. I was making dinner for the missionaries. No my dinner was not scary! I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards. I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce. Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do. Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me. To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying. Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up. He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth. He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early. I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears. But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby. Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her. Her lower lip had completely swollen up. This was our first experience with a...
