First and foremost, my best friend and roommate from college came to visit me. It was a gift to her from her generous husband, Dustin. Thanks Dustin! We had so much fun just being giggly girls and reminiscing. Alicia is such a good mommy and was a great example to me of how to have joy in motherhood.


How much does Jason look like Colonel Sanders from KFC? A lot...I know. We had so much fun making ginger bread houses for FHE. Jason was a great sport and let me put icing on his face. I think he'll age well...the white looks good on him!
Link on Grandma and Grandpa's tire swing. This is the look of pure joy.



Last week the city of Hampton (where Jason manages the dental office) had a parade. The kids were ecstatic to see real reindeer. They were fearless when it came to riding on the float too. The picture of Lincoln and Jason is from the float.

I can't believe you and Alicia are getting together after all these years! The mustache doesn't look half bad either. That's a REALLY cute pic of Lincoln on the tire swing.

I had a wonderful time! I think Dustin is sick of me telling him every detail, and I just can't wait till you come see me! I love the picture of Lincoln, he is such a doll.

Alicia said...

I can only imagine how silly you and Alicia were spending all the time together! You guys are great!! I hope it was a blast!

You'd better call me when you are here!! Mornings are better for me as I have to have Madison down for a nap by 1:00pm (since I work at 2:30PM) Or a weekend is great too!! I'd LOVE to hang out! Are you bringing the kids? They could totally play if you do. If we need a place to meet, we can meet at my place if your sister doesn't want company, or we can just meet at one of the malls. Your sister only lives 10 or so minutes from me. Call me! 214-564-0462

Please, Claire! Our conversation wasn't on THAT day. My post was about that day. Don't be needy. LOL. AND STOP COMMENTING UNDER EMILY'S NAME! It makes me think for a brief moment that Emiliy has actually taken the time to look at my blog. :)
I LOVE YOU!!!
