Happy Birthday to me!

Saturday was my birthday, and I got to celebrate it with my sister, Kari, my mom and my aunt. We went to a 12-hr scrapbook crop! Here are some pictures of our day. And yes, they gave me a "Happy Birthday" ribbon that I had to wear all day!My mom, being the creative one, wrapped one of my presents in a flannel shirt! Less waste that way! Aunt Jean is working hard on one of her very first scrapbook pages ever! They turned out really good!
Here I am showing off my new birthday presents from Kari.
Mom is working on her Washington, D.C. pictures from an 8th grade trip with her school.

Kari taught us how to make flip-flops in a Make-It Take-It class. She did a great job! Mom, Aunt Jean and I weren't very good students. We kept taking pictures which got us behind the rest of the class.

Ladies' Beach Trip

I'm finally at the beach! For the third year in a row, a group of ladies from my church have ventured to Ocean Isle Beach for a weekend of rest, relaxation, pampering, crying and laughing! We arrived last night around 11 pm, and so far this morning we have had devotions and sharing. If you notice the time stamp for this blog, you will see that it is not morning any more! We are finally getting ready for the day so that we can go eat lunch (because we only brought food for breakfast this morning) and get groceries for the rest of the weekend. It's so nice to be on vacation and not worry about time! :)

More of my house for Keetha.....

The Master Bedroom is right off the kitchen and perpendicular to the master bathroom. Zach started following me around once I pulled out my camera and he ended up in every shot. He got to the point where he wouldn't even look at the camera! (Btw, don't tell him he's a cat....he might get offended!)

The Master Bathroom.....this room is huge! We have a huge L-shaped countertop with 2 sinks. The toilet and shower are in their own separate room within the bathroom, and the washer and dryer are off to the right. I even have a dresser in there! I wish that our closet was this big!

No School?

So......do you think this is a good reason for school to be cancelled today?

Zach had to show his view of the snow!
