We were in Tennessee December 22-24 visiting my family. Friday night Mom and Dad took us to see Zoo Lights. Shelby loved all the Christmas lights! Saturday afternoon my sister Nunda and my brother David came over with their families for Christmas dinner and presents. Before lunch, Santa dropped by to see Shelby. (David makes a wonderful Santa!) She liked seeing Santa, as long as he kept his distance. Shelby was spoiled by her aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents this year. She loves carrying her purse around, and giggles in delight every time she hears her own name on the Veggie Tales cd. Her favorite gift was from Nana and Papa, a baby doll we have finally named Kacey. Mom and Dad got us a digital camera. We were VERY excited to get that! Channing got the Deluxe Scrabble game. We have enjoyed playing it a few times since he opened it! I am looking forward to using the new mixer my parents got me.
This past weekend we were in Texas visiting Channing's family. We drove down Thursday with the intention of surprising my mother-in-law Friday morning. Because of the bowl game in Shreveport, only 45 minutes from Marshall, all of the hotel rooms were closed. So we ended up knocking on Lillie's door Thursday night. We sure did surprise her! Friday we spent the day with family and drove around looking at the Christmas lights. Saturday we met Channing's dad for lunch and spent a little bit of time with him. Channing's sister and brother as well as their families came over for supper Saturday night. Shelby was spoiled once again while we were there. She got a tea set, two dolls, a Christmas ornament, and a Wal-Mart gift card while we were in Texas. Lillie surprised Channing and me with a portable tv/dvd player for our car. That should make those car rides to Tennessee and Texas a little easier on all three of us!
We really enjoyed the time we spent with our families during this holiday season. We hope all of you had a blessed time with family as well.
(Channing hasn't had a chance to install the software to put the pictures on our computer, so I will have to post all the pictures later.)

dee... i'm so glad that you guys had safe travels and a good time! Sounds like you guys wracked up on really great Christmas gifts! Can't wait to see new pictures of Miss Shelby. The portable DVD player that my dad bought for us (really for Nathan :) saved my life on the flight back to Cbba. It will be such a lifesaver on long car rides! God bless!
