Happy Birthday Josh!

Today Josh turns 23! I first met him when he was 20 and I can't believe it's been that long ago! Last night we went to Houston's for his birthday and he gets to sleep in today(if you don't have any kids sleeping in is a big deal) , because Hayden's aunt and uncle kept him last night.Then tonight we are watching the Clemson game with Chris and Meggie and having cake! Happy Birthday Josh! I love you:)

Smokey Mountain Christmas:)

Here are the pictures I promised from our Christmas in Tennessee. We had a great time and really enjoyed watching Hayden this year. Last year he didn't understand what was going on, but this year was completely different!

Trying to take a family picture in the mountains, but Hayden had other plans. Notice I'm the only one looking at the camera! Haha:)

Josh with his driver he got for Christmas. He also got golf clubs from my family!
Josh's snake boots for work! I think they're ugly, but he likes them.
Hayden playing with his new toy. He loves this!
Hayden was excited he got his very own phone!

4 hours the wrong way....

Is what happened to us yesterday! Josh, Hayden and I were coming home from Tennessee. We decided to go a different route. We left Tennessee at 3:00 pm and did not make it home until a little after 12:00 am. Josh missed an exit and we drove 180 miles until we realized something wasn't right. Josh went into a Best Western and got them to help him and map quest directions from where we were then to our house and it was a 4 1/2 hour drive, which happened to be longer than what we started at! Well, you can figure it was a long ride home. I was upset because I had to get up this morning and am about to head to work at 7:45 am to deal with all those lovely customers returning things today! But other than our 9 hour trip home, which should have been 4 we had a great week in Tennessee and had a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone else did as well. We went to my favorite restaurant there, the Apple Barn and saw a great show, Country Tonite, which we go to every year and of course shopped at a little bit, then just relaxed with my family playing games and eating lots of yummy food :) Hayden was a lot of fun this year and I can't wait until next Christmas when he knows about the whole Santa thing. Well, I will post some pictures later on, hopefully tonight!

Tennessee!

We are gone to Tennessee to spend the next few days with my parents, both sets of grandparents, uncle Wally, and my other aunt and uncle and cousins! We are going to have a full cabin! I'm excited though, and thankful that I'm not working this weekend with the mad before Christmas rush! I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

New Addition to the family!

Josh's buddy found this dog and asked if Josh wanted him or they were going to have to take him to an animal shelter, so Josh being the sensitive guy that he is immediately decided to bring him home. So now we have a new beagle, with no name because we can't decide what we want to name him. Nothing sounds right so if you have any suggestions let me know! We haven't decided if we are going to keep him or not, but probably will since Hayden has become so attached to him! He's been a really good dog so far, but we can tell he's getting comfortable with us :)

Christmas Card

Just wanted to share our family Christmas Card this year! I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did! We spent Thanksgiving day at my parent's house. Both sets of grandparents came and so did my aunt, uncle, cousins and other uncles, so we had a full house, but that is what the holidays are for. The only down side to my Thanksgiving was the day after I had to work at Macy's. I had to be there at 5:45 am and it was crazy busy! So glad it's over, but I know the next couple of weeks are going to be busy so I'm trying to prepare myself. I added some pictures of our little family taken Thanksgiving day! Some of them are a little blurry. I was having some camera issues.
