Papa & Mimi~2010 Christmas & NYE!!

10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1....Happy New Year!! 2011!  Yippee!!

We celebrated Christmas and New Years with Papa and Mimi to welcome in 2011.  It was a wonderful time together, with great company!  The weather was nice, so much time was spent outside playing soccer with William and all of us passing Griggs around, taking turns snuggling.  Papa and Mimi loved on the boys and laughed and played the time away.  Only problem, just too short a visit!  It was so sweet to watch William open presents pretty much for everyone!  He loved the excitement of ripping the paper and discovering the gift.  After the presents had all been opened and inspected, we had fun playing with the new trucks and toys.  William spent time with Griggs, showing him how to "play".  It was a tender time to watch.

We enjoyed our time, celebrated and ate a delicious "Chef Philip and Chef Mimi" meal to ring in the new year.  Also, a treat of company for our New Years Day, Hunter and Whitney joined us for dinner of black eyed peas, greens and pork.  It was great having them join us for dinner.  William kept everyone entertained with his toys and games and conversations.  Oh, his conversations are priceless!  I love how his little mind works... So thankful for that sweet blessing!  All too soon, we were hugging everyone goodbye, taking pictures and wishing them a safe trip on the long drive home.


So, Welcome 2011!!  Happy New Year!!
