Darrel laughing at Amanda's GPS!!!

The love of my life!

Hmm. Picture taking of us. And I am pretty sure, it is Amanda "the driver" taking it! I am sure the GPS was in control of the vehicle

EWW!! Kissing!! First kiss of 2011! This is our year to shine!

What total change of scenery for New Years Eve. Usually we are in bed and we will set the alarm clock and wake up at midnight. Not this year! We went to Senor Frog. We had a awesome time with Amanda and Taylor. I am happy that Amanda finally found someone to love her and protect her! After 14 years of friendship, I believe our friendship is stronger than ever. But watching some these freaks at Senor Frog maybe realize, I am so thrill I am not a drinker!! OMG!! I do not want to act like that. But it was fun entertainment. Even though Amanda would not let me potty at Senor Frog. I had to go to a gas station, of course the ladies was out of order. But that is okay, when you got to go, you got to go. So therefore I went into the men. EWW Gross!!! We were able to spend the night at a house in Ocean lakes. When we got back from our lil bash at New Years Eve we took a golf cart ride to the beach and it was cold!!! We finally crashed! The next day we rested and left around 5:00. We again went to Broadway at the beach, and of course most of the stores were closed! Except the Sugar Candy Shop. Expensive!!! Before we left we stop by Hard Rock Cafe! Oh we so love Hard Rock!! The service was horrible, but it mandatory to hit that spot before we left! Just overall a best weekend that i have had in along time

Yes! White Christmas!!!

Kinda sorta. White Christmas for North Carolina folks!! The day after still counts! What fun was it to wake up too snow!!! The boys were so excited to get outside and go jump on the trampoline!! So it was a snowball fight, trampoline jumping, hot cocoa day. What a great way to end the Christmas weekend!!!

There is nothing like the magic of Christmas through the eyes of children. Everything is wonderful. I love celebrating Christmas with my children. The boys know why we celebrate Christmas and we celebrate Jesus's birthday. So cute hearing them sing to Jesus. We also do the traditional Christmas and believe in the magic of Santa. In a 4 year old life, Santa can do no wrong. The boys woke up on Christmas morning and ran into the living room. We were blessed to be able to have a great Christmas this year. The boys received a lot of Toy Story items. The biggest present they received this year was from Santa. They were in shocked, they had no clue they were getting a trampoline. It was the perfect gift for them. Darrel and I also had a great Christmas! Darrel was more excited about winning a Hammer Taboo bowling ball on Christmas night!

CHRISTMAS EVE WITH THE HODGES 2010

The boys had a great surprised when we got home from my family on Christmas eve night. Their grandma Sandi and papa Bob where here. Of course beside the "I love you" they saw their presents waiting for them. No stopping them now! This was the year of the "Pillow Pet" I think every child we know, received one. The boys love theirs. They sleep and play with them all the time. They also got digital cameras. After the first week, I downloaded over 500 pictures and erase at least 300. They have done a great job taking pictures. Jackson wants me to post every picture on Facebook.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2010 WITH THE PRICE/JACKSON FAMILY

Every year so far on Christmas eve; we spend with my side of the family. With all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. We try to do our lil Christmas with my parents. The boys were excited over receiving robes, stinky the garbage truck, remote control cars and bikes! Karson has been asking for a bike, so he was super excited when he saw it. Afterwards, the rest of the family shows up and we eat. Follow by the lil ones opening presents. We usually draw names for the little kids. This year we had KK , and the boys picked out her a pony that she brushed its hair. Both boys got helmets this year. Yes we got to protect my precious babies heads!!

MAKING SANTA COOKIES WITH THE OOT'S

Hopefully we will start making a tradition of making Christmas cookies and Jesus's birthday cake with the OOTS!! Savanna and the boys had fun. Next year Mr. Ethan will be able to join in the fun. We made a lot of cookies. The kids all help make sugar cookies with cookie cutters. Then we were able to ice them and add in sprinkles. After making a big mess, we decided to go eat at Pizza Works. When we got back it was time to make more cookies! Then we made Jesus's birthday cake in the shape of an Christmas Tree. Iced it, sprayed it green and added

M & M's as the ornaments. We were all pooped after that. Barbara wanted to learn how to make the Chocolate Eclair cake, so I let her do all 3 of them by herself!! Thanks Barbara!!

I Savanna left the evidence on her face!

Pretty Cake

Making a mess, but would not have it any other way
