NEW FOR 2010! KEPT MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!!!

Finally kept my New Year's Resolution.  It was to NOT have a heart attack this year!  I've been working hard to that end!

Some new things have come into our lives this year that have enriched and blessed us so much!  We know these are gifts from God because, "Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father!"

We loved being able to play with this guy!

This new group of friends have been such a blessing.  LOVED hanging out with them, and look forward to being with them for NEW YEAR'S ROCKIN' EVE!

We visited this beautiful miracle of God for our 28th anniversary.  Never seen anything like it!

LOVE THE MAPS!  The app on the iphone, that is.  We navigated around Boston with this

little jewel.  I thought if I could get around a big city like that, I could surely use it to find addresses at home.  Now I use it on almost a daily basis!  It's great!

Thanks to Brooke's blog,  I discovered Gungor.  LOVE THEM!  Listen to them

often, which really enhances my days

I've been to several concerts at Workplay Theater this year in Birmingham.  This place has

great acts, and gives us something to look forward to at a reasonable price!  Next up:

Civil Wars in February!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

NIGHT LIGHTS IN TUSCALOOSA

 There were many, many more sights

 and some were a little gawdier

 Love this garland made with green apples - will try to make some next year

MY FAVORITE GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS? IT'S A NO-BRAINER

IT'S THESE GUYS!  I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

 JOSIAH GOT A GUITAR FROM POPPY

 UNCLE GRANT TUNED IT FOR HIM

 WE PLAYED GAMES TO GET SPECIAL GIFTS AND ROASTED MARSHMALLOWS TO MAKE SMORES

 ATE LOTS AND LOTS OF FOOD

 OPENED LOTS OF GIFTS

 IT SNOWED!!!

 JOSIAH GOT LOTS (TOO MANY, PROBABLY) OF GIFTS

BUT BASICALLY SPEND MOST OF HIS TIME WITH A WATER BOTTLE WITH COINS INSIDE!  HILARIOUS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HERE'S A little Ear Candy for your Christmas gift from the Ledbetters!  It's from my new fav band!

ENJOY!!

Tuesday was Yule Day!

Well, you know I always talk about how brilliant Brooke is - Well, she made

homemade marshmallows!  When she told me about it, I, in my narrow-mindedness thought,

"Why would you do that?  They're so cheap."

Then I saw them!  Fabulous!

 Grant stacked cups as tall as Brooke for Josiah to knock down

 We made hot chocolate to have with the marshmallows

Beautiful Girls!!

 We visited Mawmaw Weaver, and Santa Claus was there!!

 Grant took Josiah outside, and Santa had a cat!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

Monday was Funday!

 Josiah and I rode the train at the Galleria

 Shopped around

 Rode the Carousel

 We happen to run into Cathi and Bethany

 Who were so sweet to take these pics - What a Serendipity!

 While we were playing around, these ladies made Christmas candy

 Monday night, John and Nora hosted everyone at their home.  O What Fun!

So glad these guys are home!
