Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

It's been awhile since our last post. However, Scotty has gotten technologically inclined so we've been doing lots of video, less pics and no time for anything!

Thanksgiving went by in a whirlwind. We went to Trackrock with my parents and stayed in a cute cabin. It was a lot of fun and Baxter and Lillee Grace had a lot of fun on the playground. Carlo, the elf, found us there and met us early Thanksgiving morning in a pile of (fake) snow! We really enjoyed his mischief over the holidays!!!!

Christmas came with no less drama than was expected. December was a tiring month in the Key home. However, I think we took it in stride and really grew a lot. I love that Scotty!!!! We trudged through Journey to Bethlehem. It would be great to see some pics from that! We had our annual at Katie's. It was the most enjoyable time. Lots of friends and a very festive occasion, and a VERY late night! Moving to Christmas. My parents were not here. Scott's parents were. There is no two families who do the Griswald family justice as much as ours. Baxter woke up with a Jeep while Lillee Grace got herself some loot. Ponyville, a CD player, wig for performances, no doubt, along with lots of other can't live without things!!! Scott's big Christmas gift was tickets to a Thrashers game the day after Christmas. We had a great time. Love me some violence.

New Year's was spent with some great friends, we like to call "The Skyline Five". We did make it to the Historical Society party, in great care of Shelly, Dial-A-Bus driver. She apparently has a baby because some of us sat on either side of the #3 Earnhart car seat. Got home by way of "Bandit Josh" and then had to make an additional stop around the neighborhood to break up a rock band rendition! Went to Brunswick New Year's Day to oysters and collard greens. Lots of fun and the best playground ever at the St. Simons pier. Oh, did I mention shopping? Yes, good.

Back in full swing in this new 2009 year. No real resolutions. Lose weight, sit up straighter, be nicer. Ok, none of these will ever come to fruition. Let's not kid ourselves.

New preacher announced today - January 11, 2009. Dr. Bill and Jane Hardee. We are so excited for them and for us. What great people they seem to be. They also seem to be very REAL people. I think at this time, with the economy and trials people are going through at this very moment, it is a good time to reflect at the moments in our lives that mean the most. We should evaluate those things and strive to make them the moments that are the most frequent.
