Charleston

Donald and I were able to get away for 5 days to Charleston, SC.... without Daphney! We stayed at the Charleston Place, club level.... so luxurious! We mostly just relaxed and enjoyed some of Charleston's finest cuisine. The rest was much needed. Other than sleeping and eating we did do some shopping on King and site seeing. I loved being able to have Donald all to myself.... until next time!

New Years and Lemsky Christmas!

Christmas round two happened yesterday for my side of the family. My mom, grandmother, Jonathan, and Ashley came to Jackson. Jonathan brought fire works, but the fun didn't last long. Daphney, who I thought I had primed to be fearless and tough, was so terrified. Fun while it lasted though. We had a yummy dinner and then opened presents. Love spending time with sweet family!

Christmas morning and a surprise visit to Jasper!

Daphney and I kicked off Christmas morning with just the two of us. Poor Donald was post call and arrived home late Christmas morning. As soon as I finished preparing Christmas lunch, (yes a whole turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, apple pie ect. just for two!) we opened presents. It was so special to have time with just the three of us. I look forward to many more years of making and enjoying holiday traditions that are just are own.

After all the fun I packed everyone up and set out for Jasper. All of Donald's siblings and their children were at his parents house, which never happens. It was dinner time and everyone was in the kitchen when we walked in the door. Such a surprise. Christmas was truly a special time for our family this year!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

We woke up this morning to snow on the ground and most importantly this is Daphney's first time seeing it! Too cute. She was so excited to see all the white and feel the cold stuff on the ground!
