2010 went by so quickly. Here are some highlights from the year.

3. Took Madison to Disney World for the first time on January 1, 2010.
4. Brantley experienced his first Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween
5. Took a road trip (Brantley's first) to Orlando for our niece's christening. Who, by the way, was born on the exact same day as Brantley.
6. Found out my brother and SIL are going to have another baby!
7. Madison started ballet.
8. Madison turned 3
9. We took a total of 4 trips: 3 trips to Orlando and 1 trip to Birmingham

21 Days to Organization

I have 3 New Year's Resolutions this time around....

1) Start spending more time in God's Word
2) Lose weight (I had a baby in August, and I have about 15 pounds I would like to shed.)
3) Get this home organized!

Sooooooo, when I heard about a 21 day challenge to getting organized, I thought I should try it. If you would like to participate, check it out:

Mr. Jingle is here!

Our elf, Mr. Jingle, is here to stay with us until Christmas Eve!  Last year was our first year with him.....and to be honest, we couldn't remember what we named him last year.  Madison was only 2, and doesn't realize that he got a new name.  Mr. Jingle was the first thing that popped in my mind this year. So, alas, he is now Mr. Jingle. I got the cutest idea from Jessica at Little Pumpkin Grace to do a North Pole Breakfast.  I read her post late one evening, and I decided to try to pull it off the next morning.  Sooooo, mine is not nearly as cute as hers, but I tried!.....and Madison loved it. Mr. Jingle set the table for our breakfast the next morning.

Letters to the kids from Mr. Jingle

We enjoyed snow covered pancakes.  Jessica's elf brought snow covered doughnuts from the North Pole.  Unfortunately, we had none on hand, so I had to whip up some pancakes with the small amount of Bisquick that I had in the pantry!

Thank you, Jessica, for the adorable idea!
