I have become addicted to Facebook and totally ignored my blog. One of my friends, who is Facebook phobic, has encouraged me to update my blog so here I go!
We had a very nice Thanksgiving. Tom's brother, his wife, and their daughter, Leah, came over. We ate, played Wii, and just had a great time visiting.
My laptop has recently crashed so I don't have pictures to post on here. So the next best thing I can do is post the link to the pictures that I uploaded on Facebook. Here are the pictures of Brittanie and Katie that we had taken at Portrait Innovations in Columbia. Christmas, 2009
We had a wonderful Christmas. We got alot of stuff and ate alot of food....turkey, cabbage and pork, cornbread dressing, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, rolls, and Mississippi Mud Pie.
What we got:
Tom: Madden 10 for the PS3 from Brittanie, Call of Duty Modern Warfare for the PS3, ticket to the Papa John's Bowl, Papa John's Bowl T-shirt, and tinting for his car from me, Tommy Hilfiger polo in Gamecock colors from his parents, red Izod polo from Jessica and Jonathan, navy Izod polo from my sister, Jeannette, bag of edible goodies from my sister, Rebecca, and her family.
Lynette: USC snow globe from Brittanie, 6 robes in different colors (LOVE THEM!!) and Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly perfume from Tom, an awesome hand painted Gamecock cookie jar from Jessica and Jonathan, personalized photo album from Tom's parents, Sisters snowman figurine from my sister, Aimee, and a pink tapestry Sisters bag from my sister, Rebecca.
Brittanie: 32in Sony Vizio flat panel HDTV, ticket to the Papa John's Bowl, Papa John's bowl T-shirt, and Silver Gamecock watch from Tom, Katie, and I, awesome handpainted Gamecock change glass and Gamecock robe from Jessica and Jonathan, Gamecock colored beaded bracelet from my sister, Jeannette, $30 from my sister, Rebecca, $100 and a personalized picture frame from Tom's parents, $40 from my niece, Tammie, silver Murano bead bracelet from Jesse and Melissa, and wireless mouse and stereo from Randy.
Katie: New bed, electric toothbrush, Super Mario Bros for Wii, Family Game Night 2 for the Wii, Carolina beat Clemson 34 to 17 T-shirt, Gamecock beanie, new pink Nintendo DS, and painting of her room from us, ICarly game for the Wii from Brittanie, remote controlled Bigfoot truck from Jonathan, Baby Alive from Jessica, ICarly comforter and sheet set from Tom's parents, silver bracelet from Jesse and Melissa, all 6 Beethoven movies from my sister, Rebecca, disco ball from my sister, Jeannette, $20 from my niece, Tammie, and 3 Zhu Zhu pet hamsters from my nephew, Randy.
Jesse and Melissa gave Tom and I a very cool huge new nonstick crockpot and a very nice 4-slice toaster that also toasts bagels. They are black so I was able to throw away my old beige crockpot with the broken knob and beige toaster, both of which we got as wedding gifts....almost 21 years ago!
It was a great Christmas!! The only thing that would have made it better is if Jonathan could have been here with us. Here are the pictures we took Christmas eve and Christmas day. Opening Presents
Katie has been asking us to paint her room because she is sick of the pink paint, which has been there since she was born. What she didn't realize is that I intend to give that room an entire make-over....starting with the bed. Tom took the waterbed down yesterday and she was NOT happy about that. She said, more than once, "WORST CHRISTMAS EVER!" But it is going to look great when it is all done. Until we get it painted, she is sleeping on the queen sized air mattress. She was unhappy that Brittanie got at 32 inch TV and she didn't but Brittanie passing down her old 19 inch TV made it tolerable. Katie had a 13 inch TV in her room so the 19 inch seems huge in comparison. I will post pictures when it is all done.
Saturday Tom and Brittanie are headed to Birmingham for the Papa John's Bowl. GO GAMECOCKS!! They are going to spend the night in Atlanta and spend the day seeing the sights of Atlanta on Sunday. Should be a fun trip!
