Hangin out Mitten style o9

This will be my last blog post for o9.

Just a few last pictures of us hanging out in Michigan during Christmas break.

While we were there was also got the chance to hang with our good friends

James, Amanda, Joel, Holly - & then another evening with Matt, and Sarah.

I didn't take any pictures, but we had an awesome time.

Hangin with James, Amanda, Joel, Holly; we walked to the OX in downtown Oxford,

hung out, talked, laughed, then went back to Joel & Holly's & played some games;

which James completely destroyed all of us. :P

Then one night we went over to our friends Matt & Sarah's place.

Sarah had made us dinner; which turned out awesome, and was extremely tasty!

We hung out, chatted and ate some brownies.

It made for a wonderful evening with friends.

All the more reasons I miss the Mitten.

I love you all SO MUCH!

{you people need to MOVE to Virginia, it's warmer!} ;p

~ Good times, great people, because of an AWESOME God! ~

Christmas with the kids o9

{ Christmas 2 0 0 9 }

Kevin and got the chance to spend Christmas morning with my mom and my siblings. It was a huge blessing for myself and the kids.

The cool part was that the kids didn't know we were coming to visit, so we showed up with presents and surprised them on Christmas morning. My brother Tyler who is 16 seemed SO happy that were there, it nearly made me cry. The other 2 were just as excited, but Ty is 16 and just doesn't get as excited as they do anymore, he's at that age, you know ;P. He would rather be hanging with friends than hanging with family; I can understand though, I used to be the same way, so to see him genuinely blessed that we were there was such a wonderful thing.

I am behind on posts! I wanted to get caught up before 2010 came! Oh well, no biggie. I have a 3 day weekend, so I plan on getting a lot of posting done. :)
