Christmas Day

Christmas at the Parnell's. My fun riding toy that I like to push from Mawmaw and Papa.

Phones are the greatest things ever!

Just laughing with the Jolly boys at Papa Bear's house.

Christmas morning with Mommy and Daddy. Our only time at home until 9:30 that night.

My cool new ride from Santa Claus! Praise the Lord it doesn't need gas!!

Christmas Cookies

Our first experience with making Christmas cookies. We went to Aunt Jennifer's house to make them with Gabriel, John Mark, and Daniel. We were also supposed to have the second annual "Ham Day" with Shawn, however, he was home with his second concussion. Don't ask. A series of unfortunate events since September 3.

My first (definitely not last) taste of Great-great Grandmother Roxie's Christmas cookie dough. I love it!

Good times, good times. Unfortunately, you can not see the "art" that was the Jolly boys' cookie decor. Here are a few words that might bring an image to mind.....mounds of sugar crystals. Can't wait til next year. Jennifer, help me remember to put the dough in the fridge before decorating!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving lunch at Papa Bear's house

I was having no part of this picture business.

One of those rare moments when Uncle Mitch gets to hold me.
