Christmas Eve!

Every year my family travels to my uncles house for Christmas Eve and on Christmas day they come up to my house to celebrate. Also, every year my sister and I make little pizzas out of english muffins but this year I decided that it was time for Cassie to learn.. I do believe that she is old enough now to learn how to keep our family tradition going! She turned 11 today and that just blows my mind away!! She is just growing up WAY to fast!!!!! Also, my me-maws birthday is on the 17th and we celebrated hers as well!! On Christmas Eve, we each get to open one gift that either Cassie, Bill, or Glenda gets us. . but. . . Cassie decided that she wanted everyone to open her gift tonight as well as one of their gifts. Cassie got me a pretty heart necklace and my sister got me my favorite things.. AE panties! :) Every one enjoyed our delicious dinner and the wonderful cake afterwards!!! :)

Ethan had a fever and was cranky! :(

Everyone should get a Samsung SL201 because it literally is the BEST camera!!!! I love the fact that if you took a dark picture that you can lighten it up right on the camera instead of using a computer!!! I LOVE IT!!! :)

This Years Halloween!

It was not too long ago after I got home on Halloween afternoon when God had a plan in my life that was extremely unexpected. I don't know how many times I have ran through the house without getting hurt, but today was a total change for me! I was in my living room locking the front door when I heard my phone ring from my room so of course since I am extremely addicted to my cell phone, I literally sprinted through the kitchen trying to get to my phone before I missed the call when I hit the leg on one of the kitchen chairs. The leg of the chair went in between my pinky toe and my fourth toe pulling my pinky in one direction and the other in the opposite way. I could tell that I definitely broke my pinky toe because it was NOT suppose to be that far away from my other toes!! Heather forced me to wake my mom up and go to the doctors!!!! After receiving my three x-rays, my doctor told me that I broke my pinky at the joint so she had to pull it back into place!! Hearing those words come out of her mouth, literally brought tears into my eyes!!!! She gave me two choices either take a shot to numb my pinky or let her pull it. I decided to go with the shot figuring it would be less pain, but the shot had to go in my foot at the joint!!! It was AWFUL!!!!! I had to wait then get ANOTHER x-ray to see if it was where they needed it to be before pulling it back! After going through a shot in my foot, them pulling my pinky toe back into place, I have to wear this ugly cast for two weeks without getting it wet!! Oh what a Happy Halloween I had!!!

My broken pinky toe right after it happened!

After taking the shot in my foot!

Right before taking the shot!!!

Leaving the doctors office!!

My ugly cast! :(

I LOVE this picture!!!!

I think it is my new favorite picture of us so I had to share with the blogger world!! :)

This weekend my family and I went to watch Cassie sing at the Indian Festival in Pacolet. Last year we did not make it in time, and I am thankful that this year we were able to see her sing. Ethan spent the weekend with us while his mommy went to the South Carolina football game! Also, today my brother, Joshua, and Amanda came down unexpectedly. I am thankful to capture some new pictures of Joshua while I could!! They are growing up WAY too fast!!!! Ethan has a very hard time understanding that he has to share his toys with his cousin, but I think they enjoyed each others company!! I love them so much!!

Me and Ethan in the car

Ethan was VERY excited when he saw a BIG truck!
