Just a note

I know I've been a real slacker on my Inspirational blog and for that I apologize but I have put an update there, if anyone is interested.
Love you all so very much. I wish you all a very happy and blessed New Year.

Love, hugs and prayers,
Miss Scarlett

There's a story here...

By the time we got around to taking pics of Gracie and Ashton together..she was getting really tired of all the slipping and sliding in her satin dress and panties. But we thought it would be cute to sit her on Ashton's lap and take some pictures. Sounded like a really good idea at the time.
First pic..she's not sure she wants to sit on Santa's lap...
Second pic..she's looking for someone to rescue her...
Third pic...Ashton is looking for someone to rescue HIM. LOL.
I missed the very best shot here, cause just after I snapped the last pic, Ashton put his hand over her mouth because she was getting rather loud!LOL. It would have been a priceless shot, but it happened so quickly and of course someone removed his hand before I could get it.

Santa came to our house

OK...maybe "Gracie" (yes, I've been over-ruled on what we are calling her) didn't like her Christmas outfit, but Ashton was more than happy to play Santa for us. He loved his Santa suit! And we thought he was the cutest little Santa we had ever seen.

Gracie's First Christmas

All dressed up for her first Christmas, Little Miss Chubby Cheeks did not know what to make of all the festivities. What she did know was.."you better hurry up and get this picture 'cause I do NOT like all these ruffles and bows". She wanted to chew on the bow on her dress, pull it up over her head and drool all over it. LOL Her Mamaw had a pair of matching white satin panties over her tights and she just could not stop sliding around when we tried to sit her up. She looked so precious but was much happier when her photo shoot was over and they changed her into her sleeper.

Our Girl Doll

This little one is a constant SMILE. She wakes from her naps with a smile that just melts your heart. One word to her and she's making those precious baby noises that let's you know she is a happy little girl. She spent the day with us yesterday and she and Big Mamaw had the best time just engaging in lots of "girl talk". Then of course, she told Big Papaw all about it. Oh what fun we had with this precious one. I thank God for the blessing us with not only our children but grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. God is good.

Our Boy Doll

I know you all have had the same feeling....you could take pictures of your little ones and never tire of it. I can't find the words to explain the joy that this little guy brings into our lives. I could snap pics all day long (and I sometimes do). Sorry if I bore you with him but my heart just overflows and I need to share. Thank you so much for looking in on our precious Ashton.

Will try to find the designer of this background and give credit.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Yep, be very careful what you wish for! You all know how much I love snow...well, we got it...LOTS of it! This pic was taken from the veranda last night when it had been snowing only about an hour. It's one of those wet, very heavy snows. You know, the kind when the power goes off. Thankfully, ours was only off for a few minutes at a time (several times). We called all the kids to check on them, all had power except our oldest son, Greg (who has CJ and baby Leiah living with them). But they are alright, they have gas fireplace and a generator. Youngest son, Kevin and his wife, Dawn (who is 3 months away from presenting us with another grandson) were both at work in Johnson City, only 7 miles away...they got off work at 6pm and got home at 11pm. All roads and interstates were nearly impassable. Lots of cars stranded. Today, it is such a beautiful sight and most roads are cleared.

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to some very dear friends, Linda and Dennis (aka Farmer and Mrs McBrown). I hope you have many many more wonderful years together filled with beautiful memories (to the brim and overflowing).
Love to you both,
Miss Scarlett and Rhett
