CHEERS FOR A GREAT 2011!!!

We toasted in the new year with sparkling cider filled with huckleberries that I bottled this summer.  It was delightful and the kids even got to play in the snow this January.  That is a rareity for southern Arkansas.  I love the little snowman with pretzel limbs and buttons.  Cracks me up!  I hope all your new years are off to a great start!  I won't wait so long to update our blog this time!  Cheers! 

CHRISTMAS!!!!

Wow, I haven't updated our blog in almost a year. It's because it takes less time to just put them on facebook, but I finally decided I should get back on track with our blog. We had a super great Christmas season this year. Lots of parties and goodies from our friends, and Grandma and Grandpa Rainey came to stay with us. It made all the difference! So perfect having family close, a luxury we don't often enjoy. These are pics of our house all decorated. We pulled the boat in front and had Santa surfing behind it. It looked great! Also we went to HOpe Landing where Jakob has his speech therapy. They got to do crafts and he got to show his family Rio, his horse that he rides when he is working on his words. Hope Landing is so wonderful and we LOVE his speech and hippotherapist Suzanne and Kim. We opened lots of presents and ate great food and just really enjoyed the season of love and giving. Christmas is my favorite time of year.
