I just wanted to post a quick update. We had a fantastic Christmas. It was very busy but a blast. I have lots of pictures and will get to posting them hopefully soon. It feels like the month of December and this first week of Jan. have been the busier than Oct. (which was insanely busy). Hollynn has been running a fever since really early Sunday morning so that has forced us in. Jason and I are going on a date on Thursday and I'm VERY excited! We average one a year, I think we should make a goal of 2012 to at least get in several dates :) We brought in New Years with some good friends from church and enjoyed lots of laughs! Hudson ran around blowing a horn all night and didn't go to sleep until around 1:30. Hollynn was curled up in my lap, that's about the time she started to not feel so good. This year made the 9th year that Jason and I kissed as the ball dropped, I look forward to many many many more. Love that man!
I want to update on Hannah. Her mom, Gina, passed away on Christmas Day. Her memorial service was this past Sat. and on Sun. Hannah moved to West Tn to live with her uncle. She and I were able to spend Friday before Christmas together and also this past Thursday. My heart has ached for her and still does. I know this transition is going to be tough but I hope a fresh start will somehow help. I'm gonna miss her and I know many of the other girls at the barn are too. After 4 years with someone, you get attached! But I'm sending her along with one of my favorite horses. CC will be hers sometime in the next week or two. We had planned on her buying CC before any the accident or Gina's cancer being terminal. Of course the original plan was for CC to stay at our farm but I know she will help Hannah. On Thursday she told me that CC going with her to west TN made it so much easier. I hope so.
This girl LOVES books, it's about the only time she sits still.
Someone discovered the pistachio salad!
Hoss' new cutting board that we had custom made for him. Btw if anyone wants a really awesome cutting board we can hook you up with some awesome folks that make them!
Christmas Eve with the Attebery side was at our house this year! Lots of fun! And I only have one more Christmas post my goal is to get it up before the end of January!!
These first set of pics are from Christmas morning...
Finally Jason doesn't have to take a kitchen table chair up to his office!
He loved all the angry birds he got from everyone.
I received an amazing radio to replace the one in the kitchen that doesn't work. I spend so much time in the kitchen it's nice to listen to the radio, ipod, etc.
She loves her vacuum! Let's hope she still feels this way in a few years! The pics below are from Jerry and Sheryl's house Christmas Eve. As you can see Hollynn fell a few days before Christmas and had a lovely strawberry on her chin!
If you could have see the effort it takes to get a pic. like this you would appreciate it so much more! All the grandkids, all smiling and sitting still! Bet you can't guess who the challenge is!
We all had a great time!
