Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

When what to our wondering eyes would appear???

A sleigh full of goodies and sooo much cheer!

For our Christmas festivities, Dan and I sprang off to Little Rock again and it was a fantastic visit. Good food, good company, too many presents, and great times. We even snuck in Christmas morning Mass. Oh how we love that church. So beautiful, and so many memories.

On the day after Xmas, we took the short ride to Fayetteville for some quality Knight family celebrations, which are always fun. It's so good to see the boys and I'm constantly amazed how fast the years fly by. They are so cute! Biased opinion here, but I'm positive they have to be in the top 5 of cutest kids EVER!

After the short trip north, we headed back to The Rock where the 4 of us enjoyed some shopping and took a trip down to the Duck Capital of Arkansas to get our beautiful rings polished and to check out the Pandora charms. We were lucky to catch 'Avatar' in 3-d at the IMAX, we stopped by Cracker Barrel and of course we got Dan some BBQ. A new hole-in-the-wall creole restaurant also opened so we headed that way to sample a small taste of all the fares; jambalaya, gumbo, Louisiana BBQ shrimp, mud bug po-boys, bread pudding...whew! It was a great meal!

We were sad to depart home, but we did have responsibilities to check back in on.
Tonight we'll celebrate with sparkling grape juice and I'll start making some New Years black eyed peas in one of my new Le Creuset pans! It'll be an excellent way to start 2010.

Hope everyone has a great New Years!
