I hope everyone has a Happy & Healthy New Year!

I promise that I will update soon!

This past Sunday Santa was at the Country Club so we went to see him. We could barely get inside because Bennett loved the golf carts. We learned our lesson with Parker and we make sure the keys are not in the ignition!

Bennett was mad he wasn't driving anymore! Parker loved Santa this year

but Bennett wouldn't sit in his lap

this is the closest we could get Bennett to him
What a difference a year makes!
Parker and Santa in 2007

Below are some great pictures of the children that Cathy took in her front yard. Parker loves to try and climb trees these days. And of course Bennett wants to do anything that Parker does!

The last two pictures were taken at our "Little Red Schoolhouse" park that we take the children too. Parker looks like such a big girl!

Look at those cheeks!

We had a wonderful time in Brooklyn for Ruby's Baptism. She has grown up so much since we last saw her. Soon they will all be in Mississippi! Below are a few pictures from out trip. We found some time to visit NYC too. It has been awhile since I've been and I think I got my next few years worth. It can be a fun place to visit. We didn't attempt to take the children. They stayed with Mrs. Lynne since mom and dad are still recuperating (quite nicely).

Family photo op after the Baptism. Ruby did great! She only whined a little when the Priest poured the water over her head.

Saturday we all went to this cute French restaurant down the street from Brian and Beth's apartment on Atlantic Ave. While we were eating, it started snowing. None of it stuck but it was a pretty site.

Below is a re-enactment of a picture that Clif and I took almost 10 years ago when I was living in Hoboken. I am going to frame it next the other one that we took.

And of course, we had to go see the tree at Rockefeller Center. It was a busy time to go to the City but we had a lot of fun!
