Go STARS!

Anna Grace has her 1st cheer competition this past weekend in Jackson.  She has been working so hard every week at Dallas Cheer and was excited but nervous about the competition.  Their uniforms didn't come in before the competition, but the company sent tank tops for them to wear.  After they got all glitzed and glamed, they warmed up and were ready to go.   

And here we go..."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13  For Him Go Stars!"

They all did a great job!  Tumbling and stunts were great!! 

And they won 1st place in their division!!!  GO STARS!

                                      Lily, Aunt Kris and Aunt GG came to cheer for AG!

                                                      So proud of my little cheerleader!

Merry Christmas!

We had to wake up Anna Grace and Walker on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought them.  Anna Grace said that they actually woke up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to see what time it was, but didn't look to see if Santa had come yet!  They were both surprised to see all the gifts Santa had brought them! 

Anna Grace loved her new TV, UGG boots, Nook and other surprises.

Walker was shocked to find that Santa had brought him a 3-in-1 sports table, baseball rebounder, KNEX roller coaster and lots of other surprises.

Even Chip knew that Santa had brought him some new toys! 

Bebe and Daddy Jim came over for Christmas morning breakfast and then went with us to church.  We were all so surprised that Sam went down front and accepted Jesus into his heart!   What a wonderful Christmas present for Angie and Rhett!!! 

After church, we came home and opened gifts from each other under the tree. 

It was so nice to be home on Christmas Day!  All afternoon we just hung out together.  The kids played with all their new toys and we played lots of games!!!  I am so thankful that God has blessed me with such a precious family!

Christmas Eve

We got home from Brandon, changed clothes and headed over to Pontotoc for Christmas with the Wises.  I got one picture of the kids in front of our tree before we left.

We have several traditions at the Wises.  One is that we always take family pictures usually in front of the tree, but this year we did them in front of the fireplace.

After dinner Bebe decided it would be fun for all the couple to dance.  That lasted a minute before the kids wanted to get in on the action too!  After everyone settled down, Daddy Jim read the Christmas story from Luke and thanked God for all the blessings He has given us.  Then Bebe started bringing out the gifts from the youngest to the oldest grandchild.

 

 Josh always gives the boys fireworks for New Year's Eve.

We surprised Bebe and Daddy Jim with a big screen TV.  He had been looking at getting one for a month or  more.  We were all worried that he'd just go out and buy one before Christmas, but thank goodness he didn't!  Bebe was excited that she wasn't going to have to keep shopping for a TV!
