Christmas morning marked the one-year anniversary of Papaw Curtis's death, so we went out to his grave and sang some of his favorite songs. We didn't stay long, since it was about 29 degrees, but I think he would understand that!
Mom cooked and cooked while we were there, so naturally, we ate and ate! Christmas only comes once a year, right? ;)
We headed to Dallas next where we did Christmas with the Kell family. Monday night was especially meaningful as we lit the traditional lantern and welcomed Keleigh and Westin into the family.
Karla cooked and cooked while we were there, so naturally, we ate and ate! Christmas only comes once a year, right? Wait ... did I just say that? Okay, maybe twice. :)
I am really enjoying these days at home since all of the festivities. We're doing a fair amount of playing and resting, and not much else!
2009 has been so good in many ways. Here's a photo journey through the year:
January -- Kalleigh
February -- Ladies Retreat
March -- The nasty hole in our yard that was a lot bigger deal than we thought!
April -- Easter
May -- Meeting nephew Westin!
June -- Father's Day
July -- The addition of Benson to the family
August -- School days!
September -- Family Vacation to Galveston
October -- 1/2 Marathon
November -- Clearly Vocal "discovered" at SoJam
December -- The year of the flooded roads! What should've taken 5 1/2 hours to get to Searcy took 7 1/2!
What to expect in 2010? Lots of singing, for sure! Clearly Vocal just entered the Rocky Mountain Harmony Sweepstakes in Denver, March 13! Johnathan will have his Kindergarten graduation, the kids will turn 2, 4 & 6, and John and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary!
And I will do my very best NOT to get pregnant.
Many blessings to you all for 2010!

Your "very best" to not get pregnant doesn't sound like a very fun option. :)
I say, "enjoy the new year"!
Ha ha ha -- I love the not getting pregnant part.
Ha, ha! You are so funny! Stick to the "very best" because I did "fairly well" and we have Caden now! :)
I love the photo journal. I might do the same on my blog.
Have a blessed 2010! We're hoping for a trip to TX this summer...maybe we'll actually get to see each other again!
