Christmas 2012


Christmas is such a busy time of year for Gray and I . We have many families to celebrate with and love every second of it! Being an only child and grandchild has had its MANY perks. My whole family picked at me this year saying I better enjoy this Christmas because next year it will be all about Baby Yelton! I think I will be totally fine with this!:) :)
 
 
 
 These wonderful ladies (plus Megan who couldn't be there) and I always try to get together around the holidays. We decided to do a favorite things party where each of us brought three of our favorite things for everyone else. It was such a great idea and we had such a great time catching up. In these pictures three of the four of us are pregnant and expecting within a week apart! It was so fun to talk about everything that had been going on! Already looking forward to next year when we can do this again!
 
Murray decided to join in on this picture...I had to include this one!:)
 

 
 
Our Christmas tree
 
Having a group of eight close friends means it is almost impossible for everyone to be able to get together at the same time! We tried to see if everyone could get together for dinner, but some had family events or either out of town. The four of us managed to get together while missing the other four who couldn't make it!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Gray and I like to do our Christmas together before heading to our families houses. This year was different because we had to purchase a new washer and dryer so we decided to just get each other stockings! I must say he did a GREAT job on a stocking for me! Here is Murray opening up his stocking. He was a very good boy this year!

 Our second Christmas celebration was with my mom. We headed over to her house to exchange our presents. She was very good to us and Baby Yelton even got some goodies!




Gray had no idea he was getting this, but was super excited about it when he
opened it. He has been wanting this edger attachment forever!!


Precious...both eating their bones!:)





Baby Yelton's gift from Grandma
 
 
Our next Christmas celebration was with my Dad's side of the family. Every Christmas Eve the Weeks' clan gets together for  some fun! I made sure to snap some pictures before we left because I knew I would forget while there.

Precious burp clothes my Aunt Mitzi gave me! They were done by my
cousin's wife! Love!! Love!! Love!!



 Christmas morning we woke up at my dads house and had a wonderful breakfast and then exchanged gifts.
 
Family of 3 plus one more coming soon!:)


Christmas day we headed to Orangeburg for Christmas at my grandparents house. My  grandad was not feeling well at all that day so we had a very low key day, but still made the best of it!  
 

Such a beautiful tree!
 

 


So blessed to have these two in my life.

Life as of Lately

Two words...Carolina football. Our life lately has consisted of working and either going to the games or watching the away ones on tv. We LOVE this time of year and live for Carolina football! It is hard to believe that our last home game was yesterday. I don't know what we will do with all of our time now! 

First tailgate of the year...Gray making fun of me because I
always put my hand on my hip in pictures.


Friends since 5th grade!!!! Love this girl!



After a long, HOT game!


 
Gray and I loved having y'all here to tailgate with us!:)


Gray and Jimmy had a "man's" day together back in the summer so
 ever since then they have developed this special relationship!
 
 

 
Back in October my grandparents celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. Last year we had a party for their 60th so this year was a little more low key. It is so amazing to see what God has done in their lives. They both turned 80 this year and got to celebrate another anniversary. Gray and I look up to them so much and hope we are lucky enough to make it this many years!:)

Blessed

I have been feeling extremely blessed lately! These past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but in the best way possible! I absolutely LOVE my new teaching job. Everyone there as been so helpful and I have the best class I have ever had!! I am so excited for this school year!
Last Sunday we celebrated my Granddaddy's 80th birthday! How awesome is it to be able to celebrate both grandparents turning 80 within a couple of weeks! My mom, Gray and I headed down to Orangeburg to surprise Grandaddy at church because he was an usher. He was very surprised to see us!:) After church we went to my uncle's house to grill hamburgers and make homemade banana ice cream! It is always so nice to be able to share these times together with family.
 
My sweet hubby had these waiting on me when I
 came home from cleaning out my old classroom!
 
Celebrating my new job!!:)
