Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and Happy New Year, so far! I apologize for slacking on updating the blog. There are lots of new photos posted. I hope you enjoy.
Anthony turned 14 months old on the fourth and is just starting to walk. He has been lazy and doesn't want to do it all of the time. Instead, he likes to walk on his knees. Hopefully, by the time I do the next blog post, I will have some photos/video of him walking. We'll see! Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope the new year brings you all lots of love and prosperity!

A Southern New Year's Day Meal

My sister, Tamie, and her husband, Gary, had us over for their traditional New Year's Day dinner....collard greens and black eyed peas. Everything was delicious! We are looking forward to next year! After the meal, we all played Wii bowling and Catchphrase. Thanks for the enjoyable and memorable New Year's Day!
Anthony with his cousin, Justin. I think Justin was pretending to be asleep.

My nephew, Chandler, giving Anthony his first candy cane. Anthony loved it! He kept saying "umm"!

Anthony enjoyed the big meal and all of the different foods.

Tamie's famous collard greens. Delicious!

Tamie and Gary, thanks for the feast! Compliments to the chefs! :)

Annual Bowling with Geoff

We went on our annual bowling extravaganza with my nephew, Geoff, while we were in town. It was Anthony's first time going. He was interested at first but then got fussy and was ready to go. It might have had to do with him wanting to roll the ball and we wouldn't let him. Maybe next year, Anthony!

Dinner at Becky and David's

My sister, Becky, and her husband, David, had everyone over for a cookout. David fired up the grill and made his famous Cornell chicken. Thanks for having us over. Everything was delicious!

My Dad and brother, Don, enjoying some dessert.

My brother, John, and his fiance, Nikky, relaxing after the big meal.

My sister's, Cindy and Vicki, taking a break from all of the food.

Anthony got passed around all night. He wanted to go to anybody that would take him to see the Christmas lights outside. Brigan took him at least 10 times!

My nephews, Marcus, Brett and Aaron, hanging out by the grill.

Mouth Wide Open!

These pictures are so funny. Marc walked by Anthony eating a ham sandwich and he was hoping Marc would give him a bite. He figured that if he opened his mouth wide enough, Marc would get the hint.

Poker Night at Andy and Mandy's

My nephew, Andy, and his wife, Mandy, had everyone over for card night at their new house. It was a fun night out for all of the adults. Thanks for having us over you guys!

Anthony Gets a Visit From His Girlfriend, Charlie

My friend, Sally, came over to visit with her daughter, Charlie. Anthony kept wanting to pick her up. Maybe he was trying to show off his strength and muscles to her! It was so funny to watch the two of them play. Charlie turns 1 on January 18th. Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Christmas in Georgia

We had a great time celebrating Christmas in Georgia. We got to enjoy 60 degree weather and some sunshine. It was a nice change! We want to thank everyone for all of the wonderful gifts we received! Everyone did way too much! My parents enjoyed the morning spending time with all of us and opening all of their gifts.

Anthony got spoiled with lots of gifts. I'm not sure if he knew what was going on with all of the commotion!

His cousin, Cameron, couldn't get enough of him. I think Anthony felt the same about him.

Anthony got this awesome toy from Mama and Papa. He loves toting the little boy around the house.
