In the Middle of Everything.....
Britt decides she wants to go to the Military Ball... Wow as if I dont have enough on my plate planning for her Birthday Party... at the last minute (2 weeks before... ok last minute enough) she pops in to say... Hey Im going to the Military Ball with Delaneys brother Tony... I was like... WHAT????? But needless to say... With alittle help from Granny & Papa and her Dad & Heather... we all pulled it together.... She was beautiful... OF course Right... lol
Heather did her hair....it turned out sooo pretty... then the wind got it... lol (she was still pretty)
Wesley came out to take pictures... he was really great, knowing she was going to the Ball with somebody else didnt bother him at all... He is really a great boyfriend for Britt...
Wow Its Been Awhile.. So much has Happened..
So much has happened since my last post... so I will just hit some points to catch you all up... I will start with my favorite part of the year... November (Christmas Lights / start the Christmas Season)
November:
The start of November is always fun for me... We have the Christmas lights that start going up and then its Thanksgiving.. which I love... My Mom cooks for days it seems... she makes all the traditional foods... Turkey, Dressing, Ham, Potato Salad, Mac & Cheese, beans of some sort... several desserts and this year I made a sweet potato thing.. it was sooo good.. I had to make it again later.. (I tell ya about that further down..lol) After Thanksgiving dinner, the norm is a nap then Britt and I go cut down our Christmas tree.. This year we waited till Friday to go get the tree.. So Friday Morning Britt, Tissy and me head off to the OLD BARN to get our tree... There was so many to choose from.. but we finally picked one...
December:
I love this time of year... its so magical.. but yet stressful... everybody is in a hurry.. slow down people... enjoy it... This year was really nice... My whole family got together.. the first time in MANY years.... we all went to Ju~Ju & Kyles house... I just love her so much.. she is me made over... we have so much fun when we get together, which may I say is not often enough... but back to the day... lol My Mom & Dad was there, My Uncle Jerry and Aunt Tammie was there.. along with their son Ricky and lil Luke... then his wife Andrea got there later... Elizabeth was working or something but Lucas (mooch as uncle jerry calls him) was there... he is a cutie... I really enjoyed seeing my Uncle Jerry... we use to be VERY close but as I grew up and he got his own family we grew apart... but he knows I love him very much and the memories we have... lol well we will leave that alone... too many to mention... Just know that we have had LOADS of fun and he was always there for me... Also my Uncle Charles and Aunt Nora Lynn was there, of course their Daughter JuJu & boyfriend Kyle was there.. lol it was their house... duhhh, and Jared and his girlfriend Jessica was there and of course my precious lil Raileigh was there... she is the cutest baby ever... (with the exception of my Britt..lol). Dandy and the boys (Austin & Blake) was there, and Debra & Jordan was there, and last but not least what family gathering would be complete without Nanny being there, might I just say she was looking very pretty that day (more so than normal). We all just hung out and talked and visited with one another... it wasnt about presents or anything.. just being together... we had all sorts of snack foods and drinks... I could have stayed there all weekend... it was soo nice... Thanks JuJu for a wonderful day...
Then of course came Christmas Eve: Britt goes to her dads for the day... its been the tradition for many years now... it seems to work out well for everybody.. I spent the day helping my mom get our Christmas Eve gathering together... this year was no exception.. we always have a few lost family memebers show up...lol The normal was there.. Me, Mom, Dad, Britt, Nanny, Jordan, Dandy and the boys eventually showed up, but this year my cousin Micheal and his wife and kids showed up... It was good to see them.. and I got to meet his kids for the first time... His littlest one "Alyssa" is such a cutie... she could be sooo beautiful if someone would take up the time with her... but thats a different story for another time... back to Christmas Eve... lol My friend Roy came over... it was the first time we had hung out other than at Donna's or just in passing at the store.. so it was nice... He is sooo funny and the family knows him so he was just like a extended family member... lol we all sat around and talked and ate... man did we eat.. it was all sooo good.. and we dranked a good bit too.. lol My mom has to have her wine on Christmas Eve... we exchanged gifts and visited for hours... it was almost 11 before everybody started going home... I stayed and helped clean up then Britt and I headed home for Santa to come...
Christmas Day: Started off as usual... I made coffee, got out all the breakfast goodies we made the day before at my moms, popped the monkey bread in the oven and turned on the Loony Tunes music makers (Loney Tunes characters on wrapped Christmas boxes, they turn back and forth and each character has a musical instrument, its just the music, not the words). I sit back and enjoy the quite.. because I know whats coming next.. lol Right on schedule.. about time the bread is coming out of the oven.. Britt stumbles to the living room... by then My mom and dad are there and Britt opens her presents.... its nice only having one child because you get to see there face as they open everything... and with Britt being 15 (at the time) I have to wrap everything... since Santa cant sneak anything past her... lol we spend a couple hours with that and then she cleans her stuff up and takes it all to her room... where she hibernates until she has to get ready to go to her dads and does it all over again... lol She normally leaves about 12 going to her dads.. once out the door... I turn on the music and take down the tree... lol Yes I know its still Christmas but for us its all over... I get everything packed up and ready to be put away... I get my house back to normal... and then I cook dinner for my parents and Nanny.. for the past couple of years that has been our tradition, and yes this is where I made another sweet potato thing that I made from Thanksgiving... We all got together and had dinner and Britt came home and helped put everything back in the attic...
New Years Eve: was alittle different this year... normally we have a party at the house... this year we went to my friend Donna's house.. we always have fun out there but normally we are in the pool.. (alittle chilly for that right now..lol) we had a blast... Roy brought the fireworks, and we had plenty of alcohol... all in all it was a good night...
January - May: Started the planning for Britts Sweet 16 Mardi Gras Bash....
