Sam's 2

We had to celebrate Sam's birthday early this year because on the 18th we will be in Destin for Micah and Devin's wedding. Happy Birthday Sam!

Easter 3/31

Today we observed Easter. The day set aside for the celebration of the fact Christ was raised from the tomb. We had lunch at Granny Carolyn's and later I installed your new basketball goal.

We started the day with a breakfast at Church.  It was the first time we had done a breakfast before a service.  We all had a good time.

Mt. Leconte

So we set off hiking the trail "Rainbow Falls" in weather that was probably not suitable to hike.  I honestly thought that we would start and that we would go for about an hour and then one of us would give up.  We were in a Winter Storm Warning after all.  However, we are both stubborn and we made it.  I took roughly 6 hours to make it and I honestly thought at one point, around 6.2 miles, that I was not going too.  Our water had frozen in our packs and I was dehydrated.  When we made it to the cabin we were greeted with hot chocolate or coffee, even you said it was the best thing on earth.  We had a great supper and time of fellowship with the campers.  That night the cabin we stayed it had snow blowing through the windows, the floor stayed frozen, the bottom bunk was frigid and we sweat on the top bunk.  We awoke to about 18 inches of snow!  Breakfast was delicious. We put you in the lead and you led us down the mountain in about 3 hours.  You were such a trooper.  This is one trip I hope you never forget.

The Harlem Globetrotters

Tonight we went and watched the Globetrotters at UNA. It was an enjoyable expierence. Aunt Betty, Logan, Janie, Mamaw, you and I went and watched. You (and I) were amazed at the talent.

End of an Awesome season

Today you finished your stint on the "Orange" team.  You had an amazing year.  Perhaps it was because they had you on the wrong team?  The Rec center mixed up your birthday and you played on the first grade team.  You were without question MVP:)  I am so glad you had a great season.  

Christmas Crowns

Lolo brought "Christmas Crackers" for the kids at the cabin this year. We are having fun on our annual trip to the mountains with the Purser family.

Christmas Day

What a wonderful day the Lord hath made.  Happy Birthday Jesus!  Today we celebrated Christmas.  We had Mamaw Brenda and Kathy, Papaw Roger, Uncle David, Lolo and Uncle Matt spend the night with us.  We also had Granny Porter, Uncle Royce and Aunt Rose join us for dinner.  We had a great visit.  Santa got you the Manning Brother's Jerseys and a new desktop computer.
