Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours!

The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you; Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. Luke 1:35

Christmas around the Howell House

I must apologize now for the lack of blogging. I could write so much at Christmas time. Unfortunately, on Thanksgiving I found out that my nice, new camera had a messed up lens and couldn't be used. It took a while for me to get a replacement lens, but my work gave me a generous Christmas bonus and voila! Pictures again!

We have our Christmas tree decorated, lights outside, stockings hung and even a fire in our fireplace.

Ramsey Reunion

The first weekend in December the best 3 friends a girl could ask for came to visit!

We had a bit of a college reunion (Ramsey was the Samford dorm room we lived in together) since we hadn't all been together since our senior year in 2004.

This time things were a little different...

KIDS!!!!


We had a great time and just did a lot of hanging around our house and catching up. It's hard to do much with three 1 year olds plus Arianna and Bernie. Although my kids tried to be helpful with the "babies".

The adorable Teddy and Danielle

(and baby#2, which we now know is a boy!)

Sweet Archard and Jenn

Cutie Hudson and Katie

Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of all of us with the kids or the four of us girls, but I know somebody did!

Also, a major props to amazing Marty for letting all the girls crash at our place and having 3 additional kids. AND having to listen to our girl talk/loud obnoxious laughter all night.

We promised to get together at least every 5 years, but we hope to see one another sooner. And now that our kids have met, next time is ALL girls and NO babies!!!
