Bar hopping...

New Years Eve Eve...New Years Eve is for amautures!

Performed scenes from The Nutcracker for our Thursday Night Supper Club Christmas Party! The children loved it and they were perfectly well behaved until the final scene (when the guy only wore tights!).

A huge Thank You to the JL Sustainers for making these stockings for all the children. The Hill/Green family smile with their stockings...

Tiera and Hayden can't wait to see what is inside!

I enjoyed this Holiday season so much. I just hate that it went so fast!

Catching up...

We attended some great Holiday parties, but unfortunately I didn't get pictures of them all. However, I had the honor of hosting some amazing women for a GROW leadership reunion/Holiday party. We had appetizers, soups and desserts. I know I had a blast and I think a good time was had by all.

Santa hats! (note for next year...try icing instead of cool whip!)

Individual banana puddings in the fridge...please excuse all the 'cream' in the background!

I so love my Santa dishes and am excited to have a full 12 pcs now!

As we were finishing up someone noted that if it wasn't for GROW we probably would never have gotten the opportunity to know each other...GROW has meant so much to me on so many levels.

I think Layne likes shopping

With me!!!

Some of my favorites (part 2)

from Christmas day! We went with mom and dad to Cabot to spend Christmas lunch with Grandma Deen at Aunt Marca and Uncle Mike's house. Lunch was delicious, but for some reason I didn't take many pictures. On our way, we made a quick stop to make sure Santa found Palestine and to enjoy some delicious breakfast pizza that Emily made!

So glad Santa found Smokey the Talking Firetruck...Lily loves it!

How about a game of hungry, hungry hippp...

Grandma was not wanting to get out of bed, but I think in the end she was happy she did. I definitely think getting out and Aunt Marca's cooking did her some good!
