So I am attempting to catch everybody up, and try to be a better blogger... This is our trip to VA for Christmas. It was kind of weird without Amy and Ryan (and their families..) but, we had a blast with Mom, Dad, and Katie at the house! And of course the holiday season was beautiful with all the snow! We had a white Christmas for the first time in... I don't even know how long!! We did the usual, Brunswick Stew tradition:) It was my first year participating in the WHOLE experience! Jake had no idea all the work that went into it, haha. It is not just a one day deal, but it was awesome doing it with Katie, Dad, and of course, Nan! Here are some pictures of the Stew making!
This is us pickin chickens and beef:) Katie got a little sad when it got down to the ribs, haha
We found a sharp bone that looked like "Scars toothpick" from the Lion King.. Here's Kates impression :)
After pickin chickens we went home to do some shoppin and had a snowball fight! Thanks Kate:)
Day 2 of the stew making!!! This is a picture of us in the garage. Yes, you make the stew in the garage... It aint moonshine! Don't judge! haha Good thing i had Poppa's stadium jacket to keep me warm! haha
Jakes first stew experience!! This is the ore we use to stir:)
You cant make stew without a few Diet Cokes in hand! Gholson tradition:) For those of you who know me its one of my favorite traditions! haha
Here's Katie stirrin!
Me making cake balls:) Mmmm... I could definatly go for some of those right now!
This is me at about 18 weeks. Ignore my busted face.. I was gettin ready!
Me and Kates Christmas nails!!!!! Ready for our Christmas Eve party at Nans!!
Jake and Brian with baby James! We were SO glad B & B came to join us for Christmas Eve!
Brittany with Me and Kate chattin like we do best!
When we got home that night we decided since there were no kids.. we could open our gifts whenever we wanted!! haha, it all began with a scavenger hunt for Katie and Dad! .. and ended with and brand new WII!! along with the Wii Fit Plus! dad got Tiger golf and Katie got Jillian Michaels! We had a blast playing all together! FUN!!
Jake got a little Mad Gab and Tim for Christmas! (After he told me Christmas eve that we sould just get something small for eachother... after we had decided not to get anything cuz we got a new laptop... so i had to scramble last minute to buy him something! lol, sooo jake)
The reason Jake decided that we should get eachother something... because he wanted to get me these GREAT boots! I love them!!
Us playing on the Wii! I will soon post video of mom doin the hoola hoop! haha, its PERFECT!

ReplyDeleteWell, i'm going to add your blog to mine:) And what in the world are cake balls and how do I make them! Good to see what is up with you guys!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I LOVE cake balls! I tried to make them once and they didn't turn out. (I am a spaz at melting chocolate) Which I guess is okay because if I could make them I would weigh like 600 pounds from eating them non stop.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I am so excited that you are having a baby. And a BOY! AND! Now you live closer to me, so when you have that boy I can come and see you. Maybe when you all bless him! Yeah for road trip!
Love you! You look great!
