Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is here and Chloe is camped out in front of the old Christmas tree, waiting for a visit from Santa. (You can click on the photos to see a better, bigger version.)

Earlier in the evening she got a phone call from Santa, which Mom and Dad recorded so they can play it back later when she's older. She was so excited, and sang her ABCs to Santa.

Right before dinner, she and little brother Alex got to play together a bit. As you can see from the photo, Alex discovered there is a fine line between getting some attention and getting too much attention from his Big Sis. But Sis was careful and Alex ended up having a big time.

Well, we've all drifted off to sleep now in hopes that Santa will come any minute.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Thanksgiving 2006 Tour Continues

The 2nd stop on the Thanksgiving Tour was in Gepp, AR at Nana and Pa Pa Renfro's house, where Alex got to see his Grandpa for the first time.

Chloe and Alex also got to visit with their cousins.

Left to Right are Reagan, Chloe, Nathan, Haley, Alex and Logan.

Alex is happy just to watch the girls play (for now).
Chloe gets all bundled up for an outing on Pa Pa's Rhino.
Due to a surprise visit from the stomach virus fairy, we slept in the RV Wednesday night to try and avoid getting sick, then started driving back home early Thursday morning. Chloe loves sleeping with one leg thrown over someone or something. I thought this was so funny. I just had to get a picture of it.

The photo above was taken on Thanksgiving Day, which we had to spend in the Hollywood Casino RV Park in Tunica, Mississippi. We hated that we had to miss having Thanksgiving Dinner with our family after traveling so far to see them, but it couldn't be helped. Eating Thanksgiving Dinner in an RV Park sounds pretty depressing, doesn't it?.....well....IT IS!! I'm just kidding (sort of). We really do have so much to be thankful for. Our good health, for example, which we all had when this photo was taken. We didn't get sick until later. Apparently, in spite of our best efforts to "Get the Heck out of Dodge" before contracting the stomach virus, we all (except Alex, thank The Good Lord) got sick anyway. Alex's first Thanksgiving certainly was a memorable one. Let's hope Christmas comes and goes without anyone spewing anything from anywhere.
