2011 Christmas Letter

We went semi-paperless this year, opting to publish our 2011 Christmas Letter on the blog instead of putting it in our Christmas cards.  Click here to go the the letter.

College Football Lives Here- October 15, 2011

Yes, we love our college football at Camp Bowden.  Week 7 games included South Carolina at Mississippi State and Clemson at Maryland.  Daniel and I enjoyed watching the Gamecocks whoop up on Mississippi State on ESPN3.  That night, Greg and Emily cheered on Clemson in an amazing comeback game.

Go Gamecocks!

We didn't get the game on TV, so we had to watch it on ESPN3.com

Go Tigers!

Happy Girls- October 14, 2011

We were thrilled to receive a yummy fruit basket from Granny Gayle and Grandpa Charles!  Caroline was here for a sleepover, so it was the perfect treat for snacking!  Even Daniel enjoyed the strawberries and grapes.

Reading Game Day by Tiki & Ronde Barber

Birthday Date- October 10, 2011

For my birthday, Daniel made plans to take me to Miss Shirley's for lunch.  Then, Nana made a trip just for my birthday, so she came on our date.  She snapped this photo of me and my cute date.


Later that day, in Target, I saw this very cute baby outfit. I sent a picture to Debbie and Kathe, my two beloved sisters-in-law, asking for a new niece or nephew since my current ones are all old (but still cute as buttons), but their comments are not fit to share on a public blog.  Thankfully, I did not buy it.

Ricky Myers Day of Service- October 1, 2011

Sarah and I braved the chilly winds and planted what seemed like a gazillion trees with the St. Pius Youth Group.  It reminded me of a chilly day I spent in Hampton Park down by The Citadel in the early 90s with my service fraternity at CofC.  For years, every time I would drive by (usually during out trip to the Citadel's Candlelight Christmas Concert), I would look for the trees I helped plant.  I wanted Sarah to have that same sort of memory.

Mr. Mark and his tiny backpack!

Our first tree is planted.  The trees are on a golf course, so I was convinced I would be hit by a golf ball.  Thankfully, I was not.

Tree number two is much taller than the first one!

Sarah is just the right height for tree number three!

Tree number four is just by the road.
