Christmas Eve

We woke up on Christmas Eve, bright and early, ready to head off to Ravenden, Arkansas. We were ready to celebrate with Grandma Etta and Grandpa Don, but boy we did not know how long the trip would become until later that morning. Before we left, we noticed cars slowing down in front of our home. We saw a car reverse on the main road, and then back into our drive. Then we saw all the water! The creek that runs through the field was flooded. We could not believe the water was rising so quickly. The county closed our road for a bit that day, until the creek settled. Thank goodness we were riding with Caroline's MiMi and Papaw, because our cars would not have made the trip. We all loaded up into Mimi's suburban and off we went. ROAD TRIP! We kept hearing the reports on the radio about the Jacksonville and Cabot area, and boy we did not know what we were in for until we arrived. We made it through on the interstate, but would say it is probably not the smartest thing we have ever done. We have never seen that much water over the interstate. We wish we had pictures, but the camera was packed away. Caroline was such a trooper. She slept the entire way! Below is a picture of the braclet with her initials that she received from her Grandma Etta and Grandpa Don. The braclet will be perfect with her outfit this Sunday.

Daddy was so shocked and excited when he opened his gift...Guitar Hero...just what he needs.

Caroline loves, loves, loves Hannah and Aunt Karen!

Caroline has not mastered looking at the camera when taking pictures. She is still occupied by looking at Grandma Etta and Grandpa Don.

I am proud of this picture...Great picture!
