COLD weekend

No snow, just cold. Oh, well nice to sleep in, eat a big breakfast and just hang out at home. I can't handle watching TV all day like someone I know so I decided to scrapbook and cook. Now I just need someone to come over and eat ...

New Do, David too

My favorite little hair dresser, Mindee gave me a nice New Do today. I like the shorter bob and keep looking...

nice to see...

I'm not "skunking it" as my brother tells me!

David came along to for a trim

and then guys just cover it up with a hat!

David was not to thrilled with my photo session today but he was nice and pacified his Mom.

Wonderful, Inspiring, Listening, Loving......Will



22 years ago we were blessed with our little Will who came 3 weeks early and weighed 6lb. 15 oz . From the very beginning he had the most pleasant personality. He loved to rock and cuddle and smiled at everyone. He found his thumb early and was quiet content.

Here are just a few of my favorite things about Will.

He will always be my Gerber BabyHappiest little fellow

Sweetest little toddler
Kindest little school boy
Helpful big brother

Best buddy
Great Friend

Wonderful Brother

Inspiring Missionary

Greatest Uncle

And the most loving son who I am glad has never outgrown HUGS for MOM!

I am so thankful that he continues to have all of the above qualities and some beautiful young lady is going to be very blessed one day.

Weekend with Libbi and Pete

Libbi and Pete, Andrew and the twins came down on Saturday to spend the night. Libbi wanted to go out and celebrate Pete's belated birthday. After bouncing around all the tons of places to eat in MB it was decided on TGI Fridays. The food was great but boy did we eat way too much!

Andrew had to take care of a little school work before we went out. He is down at the beach doing an internship with his Uncle Floyd and Aunt Laurel. Andrew is the future CPA in the family and is available for any single females looking at my blog.

Enjoying our social time together

A little photo hug!

Sarah Beth is such a sweet little girl. I was so glad she came to visit.

Conner was happy to spend time with big brother Andrew.

David just taking it all in for the evening.

Thanks, Libbi for coming down and spending time with us. We look forward to next time!

Alee's Blessing day

What a great way to start the new year with a Sunday trip to Columbia for Alee's blessing day. She was so adorable and we enjoyed getting everyone together afterwards for lunch at Beth's house. Lots of photos, but that is just the way I like it... keep all the moments fresh! Enjoy

Making memories x 15=:)

All the Edwards children and Grandchildren arrived on Christmas "Eve Eve". We all settled in for days of family fun. We filled every nook and room but found everyone a little space.

We seemed to eat non stop and some shopped right up to the last minute. Santa filled everyone's stocking and left surprises that brought smiles on Christmas morning. Take a look at a few before and after photos and then lots in between!
Each family had prepared a Christmas skit before we opened presents.
Beth started us out with some cute little elves.

The Bailey's ended their skit with a song.

Jared and Kristen and Chloe brought back a little Christmas tree song.

I thinked Chloe enjoyed seeing her Mom and Dad so silly!

Kristen brought a room full of laughter with her performance.

Jacob and Will took us back to Cheraw.

They certainly had us laughing with their Christmas jingle!

Chloe modeling her cute little balarina pj's from Grandma.

Seth was excited that Santa left him some cool police gear.

David was sure surprised to see what Santa left for him.

Will can sure stay warm in his new red robe.

Jacob can drive and talk hands free now on his many road trips to NC!

"Princess" Carolyn was so happy that Santa left her babydoll a car seat and stroller and her a new crown.

Miss Hollywood Natalie loved her sparkly shoes and shades and can now shop in style with her new shopping cart.

Kaitlyn was busy with her shopping cart too.

Alee was so cute in her onesie from Dee Dee and Daddy Tom.

Jacob was glad for a good morning hug.

Kristen was so festive in her red sweater.

Will loves the Sunday tradition of using Crystal and China, so on Sunday-out came the good stuff!

The house is all quiet now and decorations are all back in the boxes until next year but the memories made will continue to bring me smiles all year long!
