Merry Christmas!

Wow how time flys! Christmas came and went! It is so funny how much effort, time and money you spend before Christmas and then it is all over! The last couple of days before Christmas were crazy for me! My sister and I surprised our parents and grandparents with new/updated pictures of us! Josh Clemence and his beautiful fiance Megan Burgess took our pictures on Dickson Street a few weeks ago! We had so much fun with them and absolutely LOVE our new photos. & Mom and Dad LOVED them!!!! Here are a few....

So this was a really hard Christmas without a special member of our family.  Shiloh was our family dog who passed away in March.  It is really hard to describe the feeling of losing a dog.  No one understands until they go through it.  Every time that I drive home, it is so hard.  Every time I drive down our long driveway, I just burst out into tears.  Shiloh was always the one that would meet us up at the top of the drive way and race us down to the house! Not any more :( I know that she is in a better place and not in any pain anymore, but it hurts so bad loosing your best friend.  Every Christmas, she would always help us open presents by chewing off all of our wrapping paper and eating our bows! We always had a stocking for Shiloh with MANY toys and treats (almost more than Brandi and I had!) And Shiloh always had many presents.  Shiloh was an outdoor dog but made many trips into the house daily! Christmas was just very special with her because she made an effort to be in every picture! She wasn't there this year....


This is Shiloh at Christmas last year....

Christmas was so much fun this year in Little Rock at my grandma's house! Nanny Pearlie always finds us the most AMAZING gifts!!! Here are a few pictures from Christmas....
