Tuttle Christmas Festivities ~

as soon as exams were over on Friday, we headed to Mississippi!!!

It is a 10 hour drive, and thankfully our children are the BEST travelers EVER! They giggled, watched movies, sang, slept and hid....notice the fishing pole above Mary Dalton's head ~ we bought it for my daddy but did not think about transporting that bad boy 10 hours! She was a good sport about it though!

saturday, we went to Kelly's kids and to a few shops downtown ~ then we had a wreath making class! ha! I think my Mardi Gras wreath turned out pretty good for my 1st try! And ~ I bet I am the ONLY person in Jefferson County GA with a Mardi Grad wreath! ;)
Dalton was able to hunt ~ the weather was beautiful, so the kids had a BLAST in the tree house and on the swing!

Of course we made a trip to the Dollar Tree, Mary D. picked out these MOST lovely fake eyelashes!!! She was STYLING! ;)

On sunday, my sister and brother and their families arrived ~ My nieces and nephews are SO sweet to my 2! They played with them and entertained them all day!

(mary dalton 7, john mark 17, zachary 12, emily 15, elizabeth 14, jackson 5...almost 6!)

just think ~ all 6 of them could belong to ONE person! That thought alone makes me tired! ;)

Dalton and John Mark ~ he was 3 when Dalton met him. (dalton met him before me!) I will never forget bathing him one night and he said,

"Amber, I want you to marry Rowdy Dowdy...k?" I had only met Dalton once, but GREAT suggestion john mark!!! :) He is a keeper for sure!!My sweet handsome husband who makes driving 10 hours an adventure! :)


Every year, we TRY to get a picture of the 3 of us ~ it NEVER works! Everyone is looking at someone, talking, eyes shut, etc. This is the best one I got!

(tasha, shane, and me) ~

and every year, the 3 of us try to get a picture of my parents ~ and it never works either!

This is the best one I got! My daddy loves to act like a nut when a camera is around! ;)

it was a SUPER fast trip, but we made it home last night around 6 and we are unpacked, put away and ready for Christmas!


Thanks Nana and Pawpaw for the fun weekend and memories! :)
