We had a wonderful first Christmas with Ryder....hands down the best Christmas ever...just to see his sweet smiling face (even though he had NO idea what was going on) was the best gift in the world! We are daily so thankful for our precious son and can't imagine life without him!

(I didn't have my camera with me when we visted with Andy's family so I'll have to get those pics from his mom and post those soon!)

Christmas Cards...

For some reason I way under-ordered our Christmas cards this year...I didn't have time to make a list so I just guessed and we ended up about 50 short! So it went to mostly family...anyways, here it is...my friend Rachel took the picture as she just started a new photography/cards business...and I thought it was precious...Merry Christmas!

30 isn't so bad!

I turned the big 3-0 last Monday. I have the best family and friends in the world! The celebrations started Saturday night when Andy took me to the "Standard Bistro" at Mt. Laurel. If your from bham you know, but it's one of bhams best places and we had never been...it was delicious! Then Sunday we celebrated at my parents for lunch. Then Monday my mom took me and about 12 friends to Bottega Cafe....my favorite hot spot in the Ham. Oh, and I also got to meet Frank Stitt and gave him a business card and we talked food....it was pretty cool. Maybe he'll hire me...or wait...better idea, maybe he'll buy Amacs.

Greatest friends in the world!

Ryder wasn't quite sure what to think about the candles...I guess when you see fire for the first time your not sure what to think!

Ryder.....the best give in the world!!!! Although Andy did have another gift for me....he was trying to surprise me with a trip to New York but then he decided to tell me before he booked everything... since we are going to the Rose Bowl we decided to delay my "bday trip" til the spring (being born in december=bad timing...ha!)...so it will be something fun to look forward to!

Ho Ho Ho!

I went shopping with my mom the other day....I went to look at some shoes while my mom walked around with Ryder....then next thing I know she comes back (after like 5 minutes) and had managed to purchase and put Ryder in this Santa costume....that's a grandmother for you! But he did look pretty cute....(:

What I think of rice cereal....

What is this?
Ewwwww!

Mom, seriously, this is gross!

Well, maybe it's not so bad...

I think I kind of like it!

It's great to be from ALABAMA!!!!!

Wow...SEC champs! What more can I say?!!.....well, maybe just a few things...that was SUCH a fun game! I don't think I've had that much fun watching a game since the SEC game in 1999! Andy and I actually passed up going to ATL (we went last year and had a bitter taste still I guess!!) but had such a fun group of about 15 people out at my parents house-We watch lots of games with our fellow tiders the Sprayberry's and the Cole's....Andy, Steven, and Cameron are slightly obsessed and know way too much about Alabama football...which makes for very fun commentary...and then there's Patton who as usual, keeps us all laughing....anyways, we're making our plans for Pasadena now! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

I LOVE this picture (above).....we were all going absolutely CRAZY...and I don't think we could have had any more fun singing Rammer Jammer...I love Andy's big mouth and Patton and Becca pointing at the screen as we watch Tebow cry!!! Classic!

Ryder loves him some Katie Whitt!

Poor little Isaac was trying so hard to sleep....notice how Kimmie's covering his ears as she's screaming...nice try Kimmie
