Christmas Greetings

We are linking up to Kelly's Korner again today and displaying our Christmas card. Our card is always one of my favorite things about Christmas. Randall and I have always had a photo card since our first one in 2003. We used a wedding photo then. It is fun to go back and see how they have changed and stayed the same. We have a Christmas album that holds our card each year and our Christmas letter....I write a letter also. It is a 15 year book. We have filled 10 of them. Hard to believe sometimes.

It is so hard to choose a photo to represent us most years. We have such fun memories and our camera cards are always at capacity! This year I could have done an entire album but a greeting card can only hold so much. Our beach friend, Michelle was gracious to take these photos for us again this year. They are love in action this time, for sure! It is hard to keep a 3 year old boy contained for a photo session on the beach! I hope through our card you can see how thankful we are for the joy Jesus gives us and the love we have for Him and each other.

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!
Abby

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
