HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2007 was a wonderful year filled with many happy memories and joyous occasions. As Joanne Maxfield said in her Christmas card, it's amazing that a year that passes so quickly can be filled with so many things and I second her comment! It was a very good year. Our family grew as we welcomed Jack as my new son-in-law and we have adopted his entire family into ours. My children are healthy and happy and doing good things. I have the most wonderful sweetheart in the universe. My parents are healthy and have so much going for them and they enjoy taking their great-grandsons on fun outings (especially Wal-Mart and Sonic, their favorite!) Daddy even takes them on scooter rides and they love it! My mom lost her only brother this year and this was really tough because it was the same week as Erika's wedding but what joyous memories of Uncle Buddy. He's spent his last weekend working in the Columbia temple. His life is one of much celebration as he touch so many lives! My surgery and recovery went well and I return to work this Monday. Addison was in a vehicle accident this past year and escaped with minor scrapes, bruises, and soreness but was alright and this is indeed something to be very thankful for. Our family was oh so very blessed in 2007 and I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving us the opportunities and challenges this past year. The ch
allenges gave us strength we didn't know we had and humbled us at the same time.
allenges gave us strength we didn't know we had and humbled us at the same time. For New Year's we decided to stay close to home. Addison worked until 11:00 PM and got home just in time to relax, watch the ball drop in Time Square, and toast with some chilled Pepsi with Joey and me. It was a nice evening. Then the festivities of New Years' Day--they were so fun! We all gathered at Mama & Daddy's (Lana's Cafe') for the traditional Collard Greens (for good luck to have lots of green cash in the new year), Black-Eyed Peas (for good lu
ck to have lots of pocket change in the new year), and all the fixin's to go with it. It was SO GOOD! All who could come were 
there. I felt bad for Jenny having to work but Brandon I think ate enough for the both of them! The visiting was as fun as the food was delicious--Mom always does it up right! It was great to celebrate the first day of the new year with those we love most. Joey and Alex had a great day hunting on the last day of the season then joining us for dinner in the evening. Addison and Maddie entertained us with singing (they both have such beautiful voices!) and B
yron should have some good luck in the new year with the green stuff--look at that bite!! Ha!!
