At the studio

Come on now...everyone sing together. Tis the Season to be tardy, fa la la la la, la la la la, wanted to send out Christmas pictures, fa la la la la, la la la la, just now went to JC Penney, fa la la la la, la la la la, picked up our portraits and damn we look good, fa la la la la, la la la la! Originals in frames to be sent out soon, fa la la la la, la la la la, if you aren't a family recipient just enjoy our Carolina Christmas Crew!

We had these taken a week ago at the local JC Penny at Sandhills for Christmas and Jackson's nine month baby pictures. The solo pic of him in the blue outfit is really similar to one my parents had taken of me when I was about six months old. If you see "Granny Jan" out and about ask her about the pic of Jackson, we look so very similar except for the fact that I had fat rolls down both legs. Hell I looked like the Michelin Man's baby!

Thanks for reading, Y'all tune in again soon.

Part two of Christmas video and pics

Okay it was early this morning when we made that short video clip in the previous post and I said Christmas 2008...not enough coffee and up too late on Christmas Eve...just a big dumb old Elf.

By the way who was naughty or nice this year and what did old Saint Nick bring everyone? We found this little jewel of a beer up at the Connoisseurs Corner in our Town Center a couple of Friday nights ago. Pretty tasty.

Christmas in Carolina

Well too much time has passed since last post...getting to be a bad habit. Lot's of stuff has been going on here in Cola. We have been through a season of flag football with Tanner (he was the team MVP, Mr. Hustle, and leading tackler/flag puller) yes, I am really proud of him. Charlee Ann turned 8 December 17th she now has a new pair of Rollerblades and is not afraid to use them, Jackson has started crawling, Terri and I went to a Carolina Panther game (Club Level seats and treatment does not suck), I have a great new position at work, and we have been in Carolina for a year now. Wow! Pretty unbelievable to say the least.

I will get you all caught up later, but for now, Merry Christmas. I hope that you all enjoyed a great day with your friends and families and remember what the true meaning of Christmas really is all about.

Jackson's first Christmas was great, I think Tanner and Charlee enjoyed it as much for him as Terri and I, they are really great kids. We ate great food all day, from Terri's homemade Cinnamon rolls, her strada, my mimosa's, to my Christmas dinner of rib roast, Granny's green beans, and Mom's corn casserole. Enjoy the pics and yes...I know the damn strand of lights above the garage went out.

Merry Christmas!

Granny Jan

Get feeling better Mom! We love and miss you! Listen to your Doc, damn-it!

Now sit back and enjoy a few pics of your grandson.

Attempt at video

Alright everyone else is doing it....

This was taken by Terri the other day when our neighbor's daughter wanted to come over and help feed Jackson. She is such a sweet heart!

By the way, I am back...I got a little burnt out, stressed out, busy with life, sick, you name it, but it is now all good. Enjoy, more to come.

From the mind of our Charlee

Terri and I hosted an open house for the C-21 agents I work with last Friday night. It was a casual atmosphere highlighted with "Rita", a mexican buffett with all the fixin's, great desserts, wine, door prizes, and imprinted "Stress Sombrero's". It was a great success, the kids all hung out with my Realtors, Tanner played the piano, Charlee was the designated drawing girl for the door prizes and of course Jackson was passed from person to person. This will be a great opportunity for me working with the C-21 agents. What was really funny to Terri and I, could have been the Rita's was what we found labeled in the shoe box from Charlee...Not PC...but pretty funny.

Today Terri called the house to which Charlee answered in her best Southern drawl, "Thank you for calling Pizza Hut, how can I help you?" What have I created! Got to love our girl Charlee!
