Christmas Eve Brunch 2019

Me, Dwayne and Annabeth were sick, so Marilyn and Daddy agreed to host our annual brunch at the last second (HUGE thanks to them).  Porgy and Janice, Daddy, Marilyn, Rhonda and Austin were there and Charlie Boy and David were able to come.  They said they had a sweet time but missed us.  I said they were trying to look like a royal family taking the picture like this.  Granny would have loved it.

Christmas at Sarah & Justin's house

 We had bunches of fun at Sarah and Justin's house this weekend having a little early Christmas with them.  They got Austin the perfect gift.  a Golden Girls sun visor.  Now if nothing else, he can find his car.

 Silly little Dallas.  He had a big ole bump between his eyes where he fell.  
 This was a home made gingerbread house Hunter made.
 Annabeth has always been our Cindy Lou Who
 Hunter
 Dallas almost had some plumbers crack!
 Noah
 So dramatic
 our Christmas jammies
 So excited for the Lion king movie
 playing a friendly game of Left-Right-Center
 money was involved....shhhhhh!!!
  needless to say, he was excited for his journal with a lock and key.
 Sarah's new stockings her sister in law made for her, the homemade gingerbread houses the boys made and the gnomes Sophia got for the boys in Denmark.

the Inman's Home For Christmas Concert 2019

We were invited to be a part of Allen Guyer and the Inman's Home for Christmas concert.  It was the 25th anniversary of the event to benefit the Memphis Union Mission.  We were there with the Inmans, the Guyers, the Bradfords, the Barnetts, the Theresa Rodgers family, Bro Ritchie and his family and many more.  It was a great night and they collected over $12,000 in donations in one night.  It was amazing.

Servants Heart Quartet

Servants Heart Quartet celebrated 21 years in the ministry this year.  Jeff is the founding member remaining.  Dwayne has sang with him 11 years, Kenneth 7, and me 4.  We love what we do and why we do it.

Annabeth was laughing at my Glamour Shots

I guess it was the thing to do back in the late 80's early 90's....Glamour Shots.  They were photography studios in the mall.  The higher the hair the closer to God, they said!!!  Annabeth said "Momma, it looks like a senior picture".  They had all of the clothes, top hats, berets, huge earrings, sequins, you name it, the sparklier the better.

We sure missed Austin this year, but it is just too far to come for just a couple of days.

Austin was able to facetime with us and sent a picture of Thanksgiving with Sophia and her family and friends.

Dwayne & Kay take on DC

we went to visit Austin and tour the city.....riding the metro....by ourselves.  Traffic, even in the suburbs was a mess.  We stayed in the sweetest Air BnB in Silver Springs, MD.  3 miles from Austin, but about 35 minutes away from him.


 I sang the Laverne and Shirley song every time I went down and up those steps to the apartment.

 We were behind a funeral at Arlington National Cemetary


 of course, I had to get a picture of Bill's saxaphone.

 the next president????
