Wordless Wednesday

Santa pics...

Since my children have been born, neither has had a pic w/Santa...that is up until today. I've either not had the time or the money or just didn't feel like dealing with the long lines and stuff. Plus, they're both deathly afraid of Santa, especially Kennedy! And I knew I'd be wasting my money if I tried because they would be horrible pics. Well, today our church featured a Santa and I managed to get Kingsely to sit on his lap for just a second and here's the result (Kennedy was no where to be found, lol):

Dear Santa...

I would like a pair of new socks for Christmas.

Love,
Elvis

Today is "MY" kinda day!

First, I get surprised with beautiful flowers for no reason...just because flowers...from Lindsey and Elvis. And then I find out after 3 years of economic difficulties we're finally getting raises again at work and my annual was this month, so I'm getting a raise! Yay! And last but not least, we're getting a $500 Christmas bonus at work too! :sigh of relief: The day just keeps getting better and better. Bring it on!

Dear Rebecca...

May you rest in peace.

Even though you were only in our family for a short period of time you touched all of our hearts tremendously, especially my Uncle Tommy and those close to him.

I remember the first time I met you. You were just the sweetest thing and so outgoing. I felt like in the brief hours that we spent together I had known you for years! And the 2nd time we met and you met the kids...they were calling you "Aunt Becca" w/in a matter of minutes and they NEVER warm up to ANYONE that fast. I thought it was pretty amazing. You truly had a gift for getting to know someone and making them comfortable. I could tell you had a good soul and I knew you were definitely special the moment I told you Elvis' name and with out a word you showed me your tattoo on your ring finger...I thought that was soooo cool!

You will be deeply missed and I'm saddened that we couldn't get to know each other better.

First Ice Cream Cone! :)
