Kermit, a Zombie & the moonwalk

There are really no words!

Welcome to twenty-ten!

New Year's Eve just wouldn't be New Year's Eve without a little play time in Gatlinburg. Hey, it's a tradition & a good one at that! Nothing can beat walking the streets & seeing the sites! Seriously, NYC doesn't hold a candle to the things you see in G-burg!
We had an amazing NYEve dinner at the Peddler! It was our first visit & we highly recommend!
I found a cute date!
Cody & the cutie girls in front of the Rockerfeller equivalent!

A light saber & pink glasses...need I say more?
Yes, they battled.
We road a "really scary" earthquake ride. I didn't know if we would make it. Cody had to have a farewell kiss!
I have NEVER eaten a hotdog. Let me repeat...NEVER. Never...until New Year's Eve 2009. Let's call it peer pressure. I took a small (very small) bite of this & the thought still makes me cringe. That being said...my husband & a few of our friends devoured these "tasty" treats. Wow! So began 2000thin (via the Lee's)!
Cody loves nothing more than being at Hopie's service!
Happy New Year, friends!! May God richly bless your 2010!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Christmas is always wonderful at our house because we don't travel & we spend lots of time with all the people we love while eating lots of yummy food & enjoying extra hours of sleep! This year was no exception! Cody surprised me with tickets to see John Mayer in concert & he also purchased our BFF's tickets to join us. Good man. Santa brought us shades for our house & since I'm so late posting this, you must know they've already been delivered/installed & they look amazing. Santa also brought me Uggs. I have a confession; I was an "ugg hater" but with the slip of my foot I went from hater to love affair. I feel like I'm in a relationship where I must always preface..."he's not very cute but he has a GREAT personality". Ugg, please forgive me for my distain of you in the past, you've officially won my heart.

I love to decorate for the season & regardless of how many times I sweep or vacuum, I'm cleaning up glitter until June ;)!
My sweet parents & their baby, Lucky
Christmas with Cody's family. 2 new additions this year which makes everything a little more fun (Caleb, who didn't want to be photographed, & Caleigh)!
Christmas always means I get to spend a little time with my best Brittany girl!
Couldn't resist posting our Christmas Eve "cheese" photo!

Happy Birthday my dearest Hollie Jolly!

Amidst all the Christmas festivities, we took a pause to celebrate our dear friend, Hollie. No better way to celebrate than with a surprise karaoke party! Good times!
So glad to say there are very few recordings of our amazing vocals! :)

Pete, Mark & Cody after they finished cutting their upcoming record ;)
"We are the World"...
"Delta Dawn" Hollie apparently plays the drum (singular)...
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella..eh...eh...eh
The birthday girl

NYC, baby!

I got the biggest shock of my life when I was invited to go to NYC at the very last minute (my favorite place in the world)! My most amazing husband took over my job as nanny for FOUR children so I could go! Now that, my friends, is true love. I had the best time with some of the best girls! NYC, you steal my heart EVERY time!
Brunettes & Blonde's segregate unintentionally.
Well, there was an "incident" with a limo driver. He thought he had a car full of southern, blond pushovers that he could pull one over on but he found out quickly that we were a little too feisty!


Nothing like the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular!
