The Blur That Was December

Well.....looks like my New Year's resolution should be to blog more. If "better late than never" is still acceptable, here are a few blurbs from the last month.

We celebrated Chase's 26th Birthday by starting the morning at the Rick and Bubba show. Chase listens to the show every morning, and we've managed to book Golden Ticket seats 2 years in a row on his birthday. (I realize that I look like I'm with child in this picture, but I assure you it's an optical illusion. Don't judge me.)


Chase studied for, and took his National Dental Board exam (a 12-hour, 2-day test). That was rough, but on the bright side....he finishes school in May!

Our GFBC Young Married group had our Christmas Party at the Doss Ferry Clubhouse, and Clay managed to find an even tackier sweater than last year. As soon as I get a picture, I'll post it.

We spent Christmas Eve in the hospital, as Chase's Grandmother was admitted for kidney failure. Some very sweet members of his parents' church brought delicious BBQ plates to us, and we had a 'picnic' as the kids called it.

Chase's mom and I were making breakfast casseroles and getting all of the 'Santa' gifts ready late into the night. We all enjoyed a Christmas morning brunch with Chase's great Aunt and Uncle, whom we love dearly. Here's a snapshot of some of the food, and a new apple cinnamon coffee cake recipe Chase's mom found.



Below are a few pictures of baby Henry. I kept him for a little while so Aunt Crissy could do some post-Christmas shopping.
