Merry Christmas!

Well, another Christmas has come and gone. We had a great one. Marleigh is at such a fun age for Christmas. She was so excited to see what santa had brought to her. She got all kinds of toys, clothes, and of course undergarmets. She also got a cupcake maker, which we just had to make two cupcakes as soon as our traditional sausage-gravy christmas breakfast was over. All while I was trying to fix my sweet potato casserole for our family Christmas in Princeton, while her daddy took a midmorning nap. Must I say-those cupcakes are horrible, but she could care less. The first one she gave to her daddy-he pretended to like it. THe second one was for her, but we put a candle in it and sang "Happy Birthday, Jesus". It was precious. Christmas eve was spent at Bengi's moms house, then my mom came over to spend the night. The next morning we did the presents ate breakfast and went to Princeton to visit and eat with my dad and the rest of the Tandy gang. On the way over, we decided to go to Louisville that night to see Bengi's dad. After we left Princeton, we went to Bengi's mom house to do the present thing. We racked up. We came back home to pack, house was left a mess from the morning and on we went at 6:00 pm to Louisville. We got there around 11:00pm their time. It was a very long day, but a fun filled joyous day.

We had a blast in Louisville. Marleigh's favorite thing was going bowling. Here is a video, absolutley precious:

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I am still here. So sorry that it has taken me soooo long to post. Life has been pretty busy. We have gone Christmas shopping every weekend-I think that I am finished. Yee-Haw!!! We have gone to Opryland Hotel, and seen the Rockets. ( I highly recommend it! Marleigh was amazed and loved it!) We have gone to Pattie's 1880 Settlement to see Santa, which was a really neat experience. We have been out of school for the past 2 days due to about 1/2 inch of sleet/ice. Nice break, but this is messing up my maternity leave. I am feeling great, just fat-all nose and cheeks. I wish I was a lucky one that only my lips swelled at least I would look like Angelina Jo-Lee Pitt (I know I spelled her name wrong, sorry). But no I have to look like I have 2 noses on my face and balloons for cheeks.

I go to the doctor tomorrow morning for a check up. Milly is moving constantly. It is the most amazing feeling ever. It is a feeling that no one can describe. Bengi felt her move for the first time yesterday morning. It was quite special, but a man still can't appreciate that little flutter. Although, he did think it was pretty cool. Well, I'm pretty worn out and ready for bed. I will try not to wait so long until I write next time. Until next time-Live, Laugh, Love

Praises- my mother-in-law had a successful surgery and is recovering wonderfully
