Bubby!

This post is for my Awesome Nephew, Brody. I swear this kid is one of the coolest kids around. He has a great sense of humor. Some of his favorite things are:
His Mom
Jason Aldean
Candy
Teasing
His favorite Aunt Callie.

I know there are many more things that he likes that is just a little discription so you get the idea.

On Wednesday when I got off work I stopped by to pick Brody up. We have the girls over often but Brody being quite attached to his mom he stays home. I picked him up, because he wanted to put up Valentine Clings and Megan had already put theirs up. So I let him decorate our bedroom window with our Valentine clings wich happen to be the same as theirs.



He was being so cute and "stacked that cupcake up so tall". He played with those things forever. The best was the lip clings. He would put them on his lips and had me a pair, for my lips, then we would cling kiss. He giggled the whole time.




Then of course, because I strive to be the Fun Favorite Aunt, I gave him anything and everything he wanted before I drove him home. THose things consisted of Ice cream, chocolate candy, Strawberry Milk and Oreo Pudding!



We had a great time and hope to have more!


**To explain the Jason Aldean thing a little, He Loved that song about the Big Green Tractor and even names one of his dinosaurs Jason Aldean after hearing his name on the radio.

Christmas and New Years

So this was my first year leaving for Christmas. Luckily I was still around family and I am grateful that I get along well with my husbands family and they are very accepting of my short comings. We had a great time. I didn't realize that I hadn't taken very many pictures until it was all over but I did get some great shots!

The Elders are staying in the Rappleye home now and we were fortunate to have them join us Christmas morning. They were stunned by all of the great gifts that we all had received. I must say I was also shocked! We got a lot of great Presents!



Christmas Morning Bright and Early! The scene before the...






Devin caught in the middle of all the wrapping! I love this picture.










We played a lot of games and enjoyed the company of family. Playing Band Hero was pretty fun. Dick rocks the drums.







We also had a fun game night with my family after Christmas. It was fun seeing everyone there get into Band Hero, We also played Backseat Drawing, Snorta and The Newlywed Game. The kids and some adults cruised around the garage on the wiggle cars. It was a Great Christmas season.

Everyone was getting into to this.











I don't have pictures of New Years Eve, Dick and I ate dinner at Megan and Lee's we then played some wii games all followed by the girls, Me and Meggie kicking some butt at Hand and Foot. I may as well mention that after we defeated them I was also defeated my Megan when just the two of us played. It was a fun night. A great beginning to a great New Year of Fun and adventure.

I am very excited for my New Years resolutions and I know that if I will dedicate my self, I can achieve and accomplish. Happy New Year to all of you!

December is a Busy month.

We have done a lot of fun things this Holiday Season. Some of those things have pictures to correspond with others do not. We had many Birthday's, Stevie Louesa, My adorable 7 year old sister, Emmy sue, who just turned two, and Erin Beary Buggers, also 7 years old. My how time flies.

I had the opportunity to make Erin a Mermaid cake. It didn't turned out as I had planned but running short on time it came out pretty great. and Erin approved so that was good.


Erin and her cake.






Emmy was so cute and loved the balloons and all of her awesome presents that day. She has grown-up so much and is talking a lot now.






We also went to see Ali preform in her first dance recital! She was adorable and loves to dance.

Gingerbread houses!

We have started making gingerbread houses every year at my mom's. This year all the kiddos, Erin, Ali, Brody and Emmy slept over. We started with dinner and then had building and decorating the houses. Sleep time followed by breakfast with Santa.




Brody had a gingerbread Party with Ginger family's all over his house and even on the roof.













Ali did a great job with her decorations and as always was very precise about were she wanted things.










Emmy was awesome and loved putting candy on her roof. She had a little help from Grandma but did most of it herself.






Erin is growing up fast and is very independent.She was a lot of fun.
