New Year's Eve! A tart to a whole new, better year. Welcome 2008! Yikes. That was supposed to be start.

Mama loves her some Christmas!!!! December 2007.

Xander, Aunt Rae and Lieutenant Dane!

Xander on Tucker's 4 wheeler! He only ran over Tucker once. :-)

And now we are doing the touchdown dance. From Xander: "Mama, now I know Santa is real. Cause there is NO way you could have gotten a wii!"

I got a wii!!!!!! Touchdown!

Fun with stocking stuffers!

Still in North Florida with the new Doda.

Yep. You can bet I was in North Florida for Christmas.

No... we don't overdo Christmas. Not at all! Interestingly, there are geographical differences in how Santa deals with gifts. APPARENTLY, he has time to wrap them before he gets to Florida. Christmas morning, 2007.

El Mariachi and the kids.

Brian and LaRae get down! Just to show the kids how it's done.

Dancin' fools! Gwen said, "Tucker -- let's dance like Bell and the Beast!" Christmas Eve, 2007.
