NYE 2011

We enjoyed New Year's Eve in Austin at the Philbrook's house. I snapped a few pics before sending Liam off to bed.

Playing on the tile floor with Matthew's dad, Roy:

"Is he okay?":

Here we go! The Sherry Family is set to brave the ins and outs and what-have-yous of 2011:

Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

Christmas morning was a little less than hoped for, since Santa's elves didn't include all the small parts of Liam's Santa gift, but, luckily, Liam is young enough to be happy with whatever!

Digging toys out of the stocking:

Table and chairs from Grandma and Grandpa Sherry:

Golf set from Dad (Liam doesn't quite have the control to not hit you over the head with the driver!):

Hot Wheels transporter from GGP & GGT Sherry (totally awesome!):

Christmas Brunch at Mimi's house with Margaret:

We have a Christmas Day #2 with my mom's folks from Dallas. I took only one picture, unfortunately, but it is a cute one! Papaw with Sarah Grace:

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We stayed busy all day for Christmas Eve.

After breakfast, we all decorated the tree. Liam was surprisingly nondestructive!

All afternoon I cooked my first gumbo, which turned out mighty tasty!!! After Liam's nap, I had him assist by helping me make cookies for Santa.

Since I smooshed the dough into the forms rather than roll it and cut it, the cookies came out of the oven unrecognizable. I was to ashamed for an "after" pic.

We went to church for Lessons and Carols and returned home for a smashing supper!

(don't judge for the instant rice!)

I wanted to read Twas the Night Before Christmas, but we don't own the book (nor was my computer working for the digital version). Fire Trucks were fine, really!

Nighty Night!

FBC Christmas Time Fun

I LOVE the young adults of FBC Shreveport, and all their awesome kids! We had several Christmas events for the children this year.

The first was a cookie decorating/ornament exchange party at Bethany Hardison's granola shop. Everyone had a really great time, though the activities were more successful for kids 3 and up. (unless we call it a cookie eating party!)

The next day, we took the kids on a carolling hayride. The fact that there was no hay didn't stop us from jingling all the way!

I look forward for continuing the FBC fun in 2011!!!
