Upwards!

This was G's first year to participate in Upwards.  It was a good experience for her to play actual games.  G has taken fundamental basketball classes through the county.  She was so upset basketball was over!  I am glad G enjoys it, and while she does we will continue to let her play.  G starts an instructional basketball league with the county in mid-April.  :~)

Valentine's Day...

G's Valentine's Day gift.

A little chocolate to go along with some good reading.

G made a Valentine's Card for me.

A sweet note from a sweet girl.

 G made this Valentine's Card for both parents at school.

January 2011 Snow...

This was the only significant snow we had for the winter.

 

 

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 at the Garner House.

We always have a real tree, but opted for an artificial one this year.  Love it!!  The Santa on top of the armoire use to be my grandmother's.  She put it on her coffee table every Christmas.

G's goodies from Santa.  She also received a scooter, which is not in this picture.  G fell in love with "Yes, Virginia" from the Macy's Day Parade.

G left pictures for Santa.

Christmas morning coming down to see what Santa left her.

Notice G's posse on the ottoman.

Reading her note from Santa.

Checking out the stocking.

Reading her "Yes, Virginia" book.

Aunt E trying on the tutu.

Poppy showing off his University of Kentucky cufflinks.

Grammy showing off her china.

Aunt E's pottery bowl.  I am so pleased she likes it.

She's a hard girl to buy gifts for.

More Christmas 2010

 Pete and repeat.  These two are soooo much alike.

Poppy needs a new video camera.
