HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Love, All the gang

Happy Birthday Pop

"All I want for my birthday is another little blessing."

And that's exactly what he got 17 years ago, when

Christiana was born on his birthday.

Only the Lord could send a blessing that special.We're so thankful for you, daddy,

and love you sooooo much!!

If we could've chosen a daddy, it could not have been better than you.

You're the best

P.S. And the best husband, too.

Thank you for all that you do and all that you are.

Life is good and with you, even better !!

:)

Merry Christmas '2010'

From His first cry in Bethlehem

to His last cry on Calvary...

He has given us the gift

of His undying love.

May we never forget the reason

we celebrate the CHRISTmas season!!

Blessings to you all,

from our family to yours.

Winter Joy ~Part 1~

The Annual "Dade City Stroll".
We're ready for a fun night filled with shopping for just that
perfect gift. Lots of antique and unique treasures.

The Dade City Strollers of 2010.

Sweet

Most of the shops have baked treats for the shoppers.

So Cute

I think she's hiding something under her sweater.

Trying to keep things "secret",

is hard to do, especially when the recipient is shopping with you!!

Sweet Cousins

Hay and A :)

" Good day Madame"

Looks like somebody found some treasure.

(Hope it's not a secret ;)

"No Peaking"

A step back in time.

Salt and Pepper shakers

that I hope somebody bought (for me!).

Reminiscing

Liv wanted him and if he hadn't of been $65,

she'd have gotten him!

Haley was being a bad girl,

so she had to sit in the corner for a while.

She's decided to behave and gets to get out.

She's so happy :).

The most precious mother and grandmother in the whole world!!

Time to enjoy something hot.

And something cold!!

They share so well together, don't ya think?

Sisters

A bond of love that can never be broken.

The Carolers (we enjoyed very much.)

(Enhanced with "wishful" snow.)

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Liv's annual cookie baking with the littles.

I love this picture.

(Especially the "concentration" part :)

You're never too old.

The finished product!!

-------------------------------------

PRACTICE

"Bound 4 Heaven" has been asked to play for a

Christmas Dinner Party.

So here's a little peek into what goes on during practice.

"Are you sure you wanta take pics right now!"

(Yep)

Tenor and Bass parts. ???

"Momma, he scares me."

"It's o.k., he'll make a great caroler some day."

More "Winter Joy" coming soon.

ICE and SNOW

This is what desperate Floridians do for ice and snow,

when there's no trip to Colorado happening :)

They're ready to have some freezin' fun.

The temperature has to stay 9 degrees for the ice sculptures,

so all of these "thin blooded" Floridians are chillin', literally!!

The Theme.

All of these sculptures are made with ice,

except the blue ones in the middle ;)

"Shhh, could you keep it down?"These ice slides are as fast as sliding on ice.

(Mom's humor. Nobody's laughing but me :)

It's o.k. really, I'm quite used to it.

Weeee

Pure cruelty!!

Poor thing hasn't eaten since breakfast.

And a big hello to you and you and you :) Oh me, Oh my.........(Ok, I'll stop.)

Isn't he cute?GOOD MORNING !!!

Isn't s(he) cute?

"Aww, this heat feels really good!"

Twas the night before Christmas,

and all through the house,

a thief was stirring,

trying to steal all the stuff.

(Sorry, it just popped into my head.) Beautiful Nativity!!

You can see how big it is in this pic.

(What an amazing work of art.)

Liv having some fun at the ICE fair.
Now down to the "Old Florida" part of the hotel,

where they were feeding the pet gators.

Thank you, Uncle Tommy for a wonderfully fun

Christmas present.

We had a blast in the snow and ice.

You're the best!!
