Merry Christmas to you!

Christmas Decorations

I love decorating at Christmas. It's my FAVORITE time of the year. My tree is loaded with red and green ornaments. I have red and green decor on my mantle. I have red and green polka dot placemats handmade by my sister, Mary. I have a red and green foyer arrangement and a red and green dining room table arrangement. Do you see a trend here? I LOVE red and green! Oh well enough of my rambling. Enjoy the pictures because I know you are dying to see.

Its a Penny Christmas

We had Christmas at our house this past weekend with the Penny clan. Of course, it was a Christmas full of food, crazy group pictures, and the wild and crazy kids. Christmas is always fun when you have Ross and Kalyn involved because as we all know all the attention is focused on them. Why not?!?!

I'll leave you with a few pictures of our wonderful and crazy Penny Christmas.

The entire Penny clan 

This is what happens when you ask the guys to take a picture together 

And this is what happens when you get two brothers together for a picture

Home of the Month

We came home to a great suprise Thursday afternoon to see that our neighborhood had voted our lovely home for HOME OF THE MONTH for November. I cannot begin to tell you how excited my husband was when we received the news and the lovely sign for our yard. We've been in our house for 2 years and they reward Home of the Month every month and my husband gets very jealous and competitive when he sees that our neighbors have gotten Home of the Month and we haven't yet. So he perfects the yard and makes it look perfect. So thankfully all his hard work has paid off and we have FINALLY been awarded Home of the Month. So please enjoy these beautiful pictures of our home and let us gloat in our (mainly his) glory of being chosen for Home of the Month! Thank you neighborhood association because you have made my husband's dream come true!!!!!

Anna Grace is ONE

We celebrated Anna Grace McMath's 1st birthday last Sunday. I know I'm late in posting this but its been a crazy week! Anna Grace got lots of presents, for a one year old, and really enjoyed her cake. She had cake all over the floor, wall, and herself. Typical, I guess. Oh well enjoy the pics of my precious one year old niece, Anna Grace.

Happy 30th Birthday Doug

Today is Doug's 30th Birthday!!!! I'm out of town on a business trip so I can't be with him today to celebrate but we celebrated last Friday night with a dinner trip to Mount Fuji in Tupelo which is a new Japanese restaurant. It was delicious!!!! I ordered some sugar cookies that had the number 30 on them to send to the Ole Miss football game with my mother and had them as a suprise for him to see as well as a singing birthday card. Doug didn't want anything too embarrassing because he's having a hard time turning 30. I also hid his birthday gift in my closet with a sign that said "Happy 30th Birthday." Here is that picture.

My parents also gave him a new Ole Miss shirt too.

Overall Doug has had a great 30th birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY Doug!!! Enjoy your fried chicken from your parents, your day of NFL football, and peace and quiet away from me! 

Welcome Peyton Davis McMath

My sister, Alecia, had Peyton Davis McMath on September 3, 2010 at 11:38pm. He weighed 7lbs, 15 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long. This is the first boy on our side of the family. We are very excited to have him here! We left after the terrible Ole Miss game (another day another post) and headed to Memphis to see Peyton. He is precious and everyone is doing great! Enjoy the few pictures that I have of him. I know there will be more as he changes!

It's a BOY!

Aunt Kara and Peyton

It's a dress in my opinion!

Peyton's Shower

We went to Memphis last weekend to celebrate with Alecia and her Sunday School class as they honored the expected arrival of Peyton Davis McMath. Alecia got some great things for Peyton. Our family has no clue what to do with a boy so we are a little excited about his arrival. She is due September 5th and he can't get here fast enough! I'm sure he will be loved by all and already is!!!!
