By His Hands -The Cribb Family

Happy New Year 2011

1/1/11

First Day of the New Year 2011

We celebrated the year's end, New Year's Eve with friends & family. Our parents, Mark & his kids, The Thompson family, and neighbor Brady & his girlfriend. We had a lowcountry boil, appetizers, and marshmellows to roast on the fire. The kids ran wild, jumped on the trampoline & played the Wii, while the adults enjoyed the company, sitting around the fire & for the Gamecock fans -a ball game on TV.

SNOW! December 26, 2010

The weather man was calling for snow, but you can never count on it around here. But we woke up Sunday morning to some. It wasn't much, but the girls went out for a few minutes or until they had enough. I love snow, so it was a nice birthday surprise - it's my 34th Birthday.

We made it to church. Watched it snow all day....it was so beautiful but hardly any of it stuck. It was a nice way to spend my birthday & a Sunday afternoon. Then Ron took me to the movies to see Lil Fockers that night.

Christmas Day was full of family!

On Christmas morning, Am-Ma, Grandy, Jon, Ammy & Papa, Nana & P-Pa came over for breakfast - our traditional Great Grandma Lee's Sausage Biscuits, Breakfast Casserole & Donut-holes. Since we were up so early, we took a nap after everyone left. Then it was off to Nana & P-pa's for lunch & presents. Then back home to jump on the new trampoline and then we were off to Am-Ma & Grandy's for dinner. We had a crowd! On Grandy's (my daddy) side of the family was Uncle Charles & Aunt Janice, Aunt Donna & Uncle Rock, Cousin Pebbles & Jack and their daughter, Summer. On Am-Ma's side was Ma-Ma Jinx & Mr. Lloyd, Aunt Frank & Cousin Matt. And friend, Mark also joined us. The girls (Sophie, Summer & Emme) said the blessing for us & it was so sweet. All the food was so good. Then we played the chinese gift exchange by the fire. Grandy bought fireworks! We enjoyed the beautiful display and playing with the poppers & sparklers. After the crowd left we opened presents with Am-Ma, Grandy & Jon. We had a great day of love & family and then all sacked out early!

Santa Came!

We left Santa a Coke & some cookies...which I think he enjoyed.

And we found Roxy, with the most important thing on this Christmas Eve morning...holding baby Jesus, from the manger scene.

Christmas Eve

The first half of Christmas Eve was spent at Doctor's Care with Sophie since her peditrician was closed. When we finally got home, we had to get the house ready for Santa and company for Christmas morning. So Ammy came and picked up the girls to entertain them while I cleaned house. Then we went over to Aunt Frank's - we have been going there Christmas Eve since I was about 2...about 1978.

Grandy & Jon brought giant sparklers to entertain the girls. Emme chased us all around with hers!

A Special Visit from Roxy - December 22, 2010

Roxy the Elf dropped off a special treat. Sophie seemed to have a cold and started running fever so Roxy left a little get well gift, a Junie B. Jones Christmas book -Sophie's favorite. And since Emme's behavior has been so much better, she got a surprise too - a coloring book, her favorite!
