Ember's First Birthday

Ember turned one on December 15th. She had fun trying to open her gifts. She did not have fun wearing her new jacket. She stood completely still she would not move at all. Jon picked her up and she laid on him. You could almost hear her pleading him to take off the jacket. But doesn't she look adorable?

Mac's Pharmacy Christmas party

Mac had the Christmas party for the Pharmacy employees at Calhoun's on the River. We had the corner room so you could see all the lights of the city. It was beautiful. This is Mac trying to figure out what his gift was. At first he thought it was just a card. He finally figured out that it was a donation in his name to his favorite charity - St. Jude's Hospital.

Bonfire

I don't know if the fire ever got big enough to be called a "bonfire" but that is what it was called at Mike and Loren's house. Regardless, it felt great on a cold night.

Ember - Christmas Dog

Just some pictures of our new family member on her first Christmas.

Christmas Goodies

Every year mom and I get together and make goodies for Christmas. Each year we add new treats and have a blast just spending time together. This year Ember helped by cleaning everything we dropped and posing by the decorations.

We also have our own taste tester.

Thanksgiving

We went to Cookeville for Thanksgiving, and had another wonderful meal by Vanda. It is always great to have time with family.

Mary, Chris, Sugar and Miranda

On Thanksgiving Day Jon, Ember, and I walked over to visit with Mary and Chris and their two dogs Sugar and Miranda. Ember was a little scared at first but then she put on her best big dog face and made some new friends. She and Miranda really got along. Hopefully we will all get to spend some more time together over the Christmas break.
