John got a djembe drum for Christmas.
Sparky lived to see another Christmas! 16 years and counting.

A few days after Christmas, my friends and I started off the fun by going to Cheeburger Cheeburger, and then back to a friends houseTake two. Bowling night. This was a blast.

SPIRIT WEEK! :D and soccer games!

The past couple weeks at school have been busy, busy, busy! First, there were soccer games. :D The varsity boys and girls Cougars always make the games exciting to watch. Last week was our first ever, Covenant Life spirit week! It was pretty much a HUGE deal to us private-schoolers. ;) we enjoyed it a LOT. I would have to say that our class ('10) brought our A-game when it came to creativity with outfits. This is pretty long post, just to warn you! Here are some of the highlights of the past couple weeks that I captured.

Cousins Come to Town!

This past Thursday, some of our cousins from Ocean City and Utah visited for a couple days. It was a lot of fun, and nice to just hang out and hear stories from when my mom and her cousin were teenagers.
This is Gracie Jean - she's 16 months old and cute as can be!


She's my mom's cousin 3x removed!
My mom's cousin Bobby is Gracie's grandpa. Mary and Denny are Gracie's parents.

Catching bubbles is fun!
Memaw is Gracie's Great, Great, Great Aunt.
