Happy 9th Birthday Mary Aaron!

 Mary Aaron's 9th birthday was on January 2nd and we celebrated all day long!  Her day started off with a birthday breakfast, complete with the Christmas tree decorated as a birthday theme!  

Next, we all went together to watch Mary Aaron get her ears pierced.  Mary Aaron has been waiting on this day for a long time (several years, matter of fact).

Then we all went and had lunch at Chic-fil-A and then went skating.  By far, Britni showed everybody up with her skating skills!  She is the only one that could even skate backwards!  Palmer finally gave up skating because she couldn't stay upright (gave us lots of laughs).  Dwight and Bryce showed off their skating skills too, along with Mary Aaron, John, Braylee and Anabelle.  Rosemary, Judy and I had more sense than to even try skating (LOL!).  John and Palmer had more fun playing the games.  After skating we all continued the celebration by having dinner at El Jalisco.

Mary Aaron got to choose what she wanted to do for her birthday and where to eat so we followed her lead!  She chose great things to do and great places to eat!

John had more fun playing games.

Actually, Braylee was about to fall in this picture:)

Happy New Year!

 I was invited to a New Year's Eve Party at Richard and Beth Bass's home with some other people from our church and I had the best time and plan to go every year!  Lots of fun and fellowship!

Wild Adventures

 Between Christmas and New Year's, the entire family went to Wild Adventures and had the best time!  We have 2024 season passes now so we can all go to Wild Adventures anytime all year long!

The next few pics are from everybody trying their basketball skills out.

It was a very challenging and fun game for all!

John did NOT like this ride at all and he wasn't very happy.  It was a baby ride
and went very slowly.  Too slow for our John!  We couldn't get him to smile at all!

Gracie's daddy won the only BIG prize!
