New Year's Eve & New Year's Day with Family

New Year's Eve 2009

My parents came over to visit at Nana's for the day!

We had Johnny's Pizza for lunch - it was LONG overdue!!!

I took Grant to get some new jeans that he needed and found these cool Star Wars Lego shirts! Well, Shelby's isn't Lego, but it is cool! I wish I had one to match!

Uncle Dave telling a story!

We finally got to meet our new cousin (my niece), Ellie Cole!

What a treat! Read more about the Cole family here!

Our kids LOVE to play chess, so this HUGE set at Uncle Ben and Cousin Melinda's house was a TREAT!

Aunt Hailey, Uncle Kevin, Dad & Mom (Me) watching TN play football on TV.

We were joking ... the Texans come for a "Louisiana New Year's Eve"! :)

We love Uncle Chris & Aunt Andrea!

Happy New Year, Michael Cash!

Sweet Aunt Hailey & Silly Uncle Kevin

Cool fireworks setting on Shelby's new camera!
Thank you, Mr. Jason, for setting us up with sparklers in the rain!
We won't soon forget that experience!

New Year's Day
January 1, 2010

Chloe Belle wasn't 100% on her trip to Louisiana! The Coles had to leave on New Year's Day because Chloe was getting worse.  It ended up being more ear infections! So sorry, Chloe! We love you!

Ellie girl in her pj's, but ready for a new year!

Keep moving little girl!

Daddy makes me feel better!

Nana opening a gift!

A rare occurrence to have these four under the same roof, much less on the same sofa!
Three brothers and a sister - same as our house!

Michael loves his new blankie!

He has been tying it around his neck like a cape to be a character from Star Wars!

The adult gift exchange begins! WOW, look what Dad got, except Uncle Kevin STOLE it!

Trying to get a family picture - Mrs. Terri and Meagan were managing the cameras while Mr. Hal managed them!

I don't think there is ever a time I see these ladies NOT smiling! So encouraing!

I love you gals and miss you bunches!!!!!

Family Picture! :) FUN, can you tell?

Happy 2010!
