"Whoa" Part Two

I had too much to post about with our whirlwind holiday season for one post. 
As I said, the day we got back from our week in Hotlanta, my cousin, Blair, and her two sweet kiddos came in town to spend new year's with us and the family. Her son, Nate, is 5 and is a pretty awesome kid. He knows more about football than most grown men. 
In the morning, we'd ask, 
"You want to see what cartoons are on?" 
His response: 
"Nah, is Sports Center on?" 

Every dad's dream, right?

Nate was the ring bearer in our wedding back in 2009. 
That's Nate on the left. Brandon, on the right, is a family friend who I used to babysit. He was the bell ringer.
Blair was also in our wedding. She's like a big sister to me and I'm so happy they've moved a little closer so we can visit more often.

Emery is a cutie, too. She's 1 1/2 and full of spunk! Which she has to be to keep up with her big brother! 
At Nate's 5th Birthday Party

My wonderful Aunt Nita (Blair's mom) came along, as well. We are very close and I love her so much! She stayed at my parents house but they all came over early everyday with Lucy.
At our rehearsal dinner
We had a blast with all the kids. They all love each other and spent lots of quality "cousin time" together. I would say the highlight of the visit was taking the kids to the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry. If you have kids, or even if you're just babysitting some kids, this is a GREAT place to take them. It's only $7 per person which is good for the whole day. You can even leave for lunch, and come back in later. Which is good since it's right across the street from Rue de Jean!

I took LOTS of pictures of the weekend.

Children's Museum of the Lowcountry
Such a hipster.
 Princess crown and purple and pink Toms. SO CUTE! 
She LOVED the water section at the museum.

Lucy got a little freaked out by the moving floor on the pirate ship!

When we left, Lucy's first words were "Go back?"

The kids opened their presents from us on New Year's Eve.
Emery loved her Birdie dog!

Nate REALLLLY loved his gift from us...Cars 2!

Lucy got a cute hoodie from "bear".

Then we ate our traditional New Year's Day dinner on New Year's Eve, since everyone was leaving in the morning. It was gooooo-ooood!
Hoppin' John (for good luck), Collard Greens (for money--I ate A LOT of these!), crockpot mac-and-cheese, and boston butt.

It was a great way to start 2012. We all had a blast and I'm so happy that the cousins love each other so much.
I would love it if there was one more cousin in the mix for 2012. 
We're working on that. :)

  7. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
