The Party

Me and my Whit-man



Well what started out as just a small get together has turned into an annual party!

For five years now, my Momma and Daddy give a party for the kids!

Cora Jane, Vera Kate, and Whitman get be little hostess and have ALL their Florida buddies around!

It has turned out to be so much fun! This is a wonderful opportunity for our family to visit with my friends and their families. I hardly get to see them throughout the year and Christmas offers a great opportunity to see all those whom we miss!

Its amazing how much changes from year to year! New babies, new friends, friends gone, babies gone, parents passing. All of us have encountered changes over the years and its such a blessing to have each other. Knowing that they will be here, at this event and always, is so comforting. Seeing them is always so much fun!

Not to mention Santa Claus makes his debut riding up on the tractor! The kids LOVE that one!

All the kids LOVED Santa, of course! It was freezing cold but we weren't letting that stop us!

We did cancel the hay ride but only because we didn't want sick babies!

To all of our Florida peeps...we love you all and can't wait for us to get together again...soon!

Merry Christmas!

Jesus is the Reason for the Season,
