This is definitely a 'catch-up' post to get things in before the year is OVER! I can't believe how quickly the holidays fly by when you're a "grown-up." It's frankly quite sad. One minute you're decorating, the next you're taking it all down. The wise and experienced always tell me --- it goes by quickly, particularly on the growing of your little ones... and I can really see that it is true. Sad, and true. All of it - life - goes by in a blink. 2016 will definitely be a year of more attempts to soak it all in and enjoy my life and my family. Today is CHRISTMAS EVE, and I will try to enjoy it! Happy Birthday, Uncle Jules!
Chrissy got married!! Ceci and I both got to be a part of this special day!

Yummers! I actually made cookies for supper club this month. I learned them from last semester's cooking bible study I took at Sharra Reno's house. They were a hit!:)

Uh oh!! Joseph got his first goose egg(s)!! Poor boy! It was bound to happen. That week was SUCH a doozy. Ceci woke up with a fever on Tues then by 9 am, Joseph had gotten hurt, Jonathan and I were both sick with sinus infections. Les came home with hives all over his ankles and wrists on Thurs then Jonathan came home from work with a fever. I ended up at the clinic Fri morning for a shot and rx too. I must say it wasn't one of our better weeks, but that being said --- it can always be worse! It wasn't too bad; we all survived.;)
Happy as a lark 30 mins after the crash... Just give him a cheeto and he's back in action!
Les' facial expressions KILL ME!!!
Christmas party time at The Learning Depot! We love sweet Mrs. Nan and all our classmates! Ceci did so good singing her songs!
And these two little rascals, best friends and partners in crime! Les and Isaac! They kept turning off the lights in the class, and Isaac would say "do it again, Lester D!" Hahaha!
Dad came for the fun!
Les did SUCH a good job telling the story of Jesus' birth. Poor fella wasn't feeling great. When we got home, he had hives and a 102 fever.:( Luckily, Les always bounces back quickly from a fever. Typically his never really linger.
Sweet friends!!
If you recall my Sea Island post, this is Ceci's best friend, boyfriend and husband, as she says.
Ford Payne. She was exhausted at this Christmas party and did NOT want to be there. But as soon as we saw Ford, this is the HUGE smile we got.:)
Once again, her favorite thing to do --- art!!
We had a fun playdate and holiday dinner with the Phillips family in town from Houston at Jones' house! James and Kate are on the left and Jules Jones is the baby evaluating Joseph.;) Then the blondes are the Duhons.;)
