Happy 50th Anniversary to Bill & Gearldine

This past weekend we headed to Glenwood AR for Craig's aunt and uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration...First time for me to be up that way and it was very pretty, very mountainy...we went up on Friday night and spent the night and then got up Saturday morning and went to the Fellowhip Hall and got everything ready for the afternoon...Got to meet Craig's great uncle and just had a nice time....Here are some of the pics from the trip...Their actual anniversary is Dec. 24th so we brought in the Christmas theme to add a little color...turned out real pretty...

Bill is happy...I promise

Thanksgiving in the Windy City!

Pictures are in no order whatsover.....
First off let me say that I am still here...just haven't made the time to sit down and post....now the pics are piling up so I figured I'd better get busy.... Unfortunately Craig was going to have to work 7-12 hour graveyards the week of Thanksgiving...so

Avery and I flew to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with my family....Mamaw, Papaw, Cody and My grandparents were there from South Carolina, We all were so thankful for being able to just be together. We ate out a few times...One place called THE FULL SLAB where Papaw wanted to take us because the brisket was to die for...well wouldn't you know that one night that we go they were swamped because of all the people with family in from out of town, and they ran out of brisket...the main thing we went for....we took Avery to Chuck E Cheese and she had a great time there and Momma and I found a DEAL OR NO DEAL game and we had sooo much fun....amazing what you will bet when it isn't real money....One night we went out to eat to celebrate my grandparents 43rd wedding Anniversary....we went to one of Momma and Ken's favorite places the Country Squire..very fancy and snazzy place....they have weddings and such in the courtyard in the back, it was all decorated with their Christmas lights.....started putting us in the Christmas spirit....I didn't take that many photos this time...don't know what is up with that...but here are a few.

Our last night together at In-Laws

We went to see "A Christmas Carol" play didn't take my camera in...like a dummy...it was great...Avery was on the edge of her seat the whole time...and got terribly upset when she thought Tiny Tim had died....
