Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

We hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season with all of it's blessings!

The kids' last day of school was on the 19th and we relaxed at home for a few days before heading out to Atlanta. It was nice having some quiet time at home before the hustle and bustle of extended family gatherings began! The kids made a gingerbread doghouse and opened a few early presents before we left town...

You won't catch Jacob in an apron very often....

Mary Rose took over icing detail.....

The finished product, complete with a little "Gypsy" at the front door....


Early morning stockings.....

We left for Atlanta on the 24th and had a great time with family and friends there. We are home again now, but just for a couple of days, as we will be leaving to spend New Year's with Kevin's family in Kentucky.
Here are a few pictures from Christmas at Papa & Mimi's with most of the Tant family.

In addition to all of the other festivites, Kevin turned 40 on Christmas Eve and Isaac turned 6 on the 27th. Here are a couple of pictures of Isaac celebrating at Aunt Sharon's house...




Have a wonderful New Year's, everyone! See you in 2009!
