Ginny's First Days

After her first bath:

Ginny is fitting right in our household.

Tuesday, December 25, 2007

At home - we're glad to be home, but miss our family in Georgia and South Carolina. C-Pop, Grandy, John, Lisa, Lane, Cordy, Aunt Danon, Spencer, Carson, and Reese, we miss you today - Merry Christmas. Sorry we could see you this Christmas holiday. We love you.

Pops, we miss you. We know you are enjoying being in heaven with sweet GranMommy.

The BIG News - we have a new family member - a sweet golden retriever puppy. We named her "Ginny". Ginny, welcome to our homes and our hearts. We love you already.

Elizabeth Grace and Sam were so excited and surprised to get a puppy Christmas morning. They were speechless for about a minute and then Sam asked, "Mommy, is that puppy mine?". So adorable!

Well, we got to go and prepare a birthday cake for Jesus, bake a ham, cook squash casserole and make other fixings for dinner...

Harrison Christmas - December 23, 2007

Harrison Christmas was celebrated at Aunt Shirley's on Saturday. The food was fantastic. The kids enjoyed sharing the story of Jesus' birth and blowing out the candles on the gorgeous chocolate cake.
As always, the adults had a blast playing "Ruthless Santa". Cam came home w/ a Best Buy certificate. I came home w/ a cute Christmas Tree serving plate.

Christmas in Macon

We traveled to Macon Tuesday, December 18 (yes, Tosha headed down again for the third time in the last month). We stayed with Papa Rob and Mimi. We shopped (I LOVE the shopping in Macon - Chichesters is my favorite) and shopped and shopped. I spent time with Rachel, Clark, and Sarah. We ate at El Sombreo, yum, yum, and of course, shopped some more. Clark and Rachel, Cam and I enjoyed seeing the movie with you. Papa Rob and Mimi, we had a great time visiting!

Friday night, we had the Haddock Christmas. There were so many presents to open. Elizabeth loves her dress-up clothes, Barbies, Barbie cars, UGA shirts, princess book, princess pajamas, and Fairytopia Barbie. Sam loves his CAT trucks, remote control car, rescue cars, books, UGA t-shirts, moonsand (what fun he will have building stuff w/ his moonsand), and Spiderman. Clark, we could not resist putting up the picture of you holding Elizabeth's Arial horse!!! (ha, ha, ha)
