a very thankful year...

Well as many of you know Papa Pete sends out his annual Christmas letter updating those far and wide about his ever expanding family and the generations he has created. This year Roger was asked to sum up our 2009, It was such a great summary of why we are so thankful this season, i wanted to pass it along...

Sarah Ella, Roger Jr., Airey and Campbell have had a very eventful
2009. Campbell started walking in November and is into everything
within reach for a 15 month old. He loves playing with his older
brother and constantly tries to keep pace in every activity. He is a
daredevil, mostly acting first and thinking later! Airey, who will be
3 in January, is all boy and loves football, soccer and basketball
with a little cars and 4-wheelin thrown in on the side. He continues
to expand his vocabulary and carries on full-fledged conversations
with anyone that will listen to him. Sarah Ella has her hands full as
a full time mom and part time entrepreneur. She has her own
stationary business and distressed frame business which keeps her busy
during the few moments she has to spare with two toddlers. She loves
to cook and entertain for family and friends and has put together her
annual Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas parties this past
year. Roger Jr. is going on 4 years with FedEx in the pricing
department and enjoys golfing and running whenever he has time. He
ran his second marathon in Nashville this past April and has taken on
a new hobby, fly fishing, after Roger Sr. and Mary decided to get
their fabulous vacation home on the Little Red River.

What a great year and we look forward to 2010 with great optimism and I'm sure it will be full of memories as 2009 was....Hope you all had a blessed thanksgiving. Much Love.

Mimi and GiGi came in town for a brunch I hosted the day after thanksgiving for mine and Roger's family and The Glenn's and their brood....We even had Uncle Terry and his fiance Whitney with us! A great time we had and afterwards GiGi and Mimi took us all to see Santa and out to shop and eat....as you can see Campbell was not a big fan of the Ol'Clause but Airey stepped right up to tell santa he wanted a motorcycle and leaf blower for Christmas. On a side note Santa asked GiGi what her "little Lady wanted for Chritmas" and asked her to "sit on his Lap", LOL....Hope Mrs. Clause doesn't find out...whoopsie....he had the hots for GiGi, haha!
