We had a quiet family Christmas in the middle of the week.</div>
<div align="center">
There was a little shopping and a lot of eating.</div>

<div align="center">
Santa came and brought a new suitcase and books about Italy</div>
<div align="center">
(in anticipation of a possible Spring Break trip).</div>
<div align="center">
He also brought clothes, earrings, iTunes GC and a dart board.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Santa left a note to explain that his sled had an accident</div>
<div align="center">
and the ping pong table was damaged!</div>
<div align="center">
It had to be sent back to Santa's workshop,</div>
<div align="center">
but a new one was on the way.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
That's ok because,</div>
<div align="center">
Christmas afternoon included so much dart playing</div>
<div align="center">
that a couple of people woke up with sore arms!</div>

Wise Family Christmas included a change in venue.</div>
<div align="center">
In order to go to a family wedding in Jackson,</div>
<div align="center">
we had Christmas at John and Libba's.</div>
<div align="center">
There was food and laughter </div>
<div align="center">
and a wedding</div>
<div align="center">
and gifts and even some basketball</div>
<div align="center">
but most of all family.</div>

<div align="center">
Before the move, Carly had hosted her </div>
<div align="center">
"Girlfriend Christmas Party"</div>
<div align="center">
for several years. Last year following the move </div>
<div align="center">
and being displaced in the apartment, </div>
<div align="center">
we didn't have a party. I don't think we officially</div>
<div align="center">
called it off, I think life was just so topsy-turvy </div>
<div align="center">
that it just didn't happen.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
But after high demand (pretty much from Carly)</div>
<div align="center">
the party was back on this year.</div>
<div align="center">
They ate, they crafted, they swapped ornaments</div>
<div align="center">
and they refused to take a serious picture!</div>
<div align="center">

The tree is up and a couple of presents are wrapped.</div>
<div align="center">
Christmas 2013 has kicked off.</div>
<div align="center">
The first Christmas in our new house.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Last year, Christmas was spent in the apartment</div>
<div align="center">
with all our Christmas decorations in storage.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm thankful for those memories including the </div>
<div align="center">
Charlie Brown Christmas tree that Kacey let us borrow.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
But... I'm glad to have our ornaments hanging, each with special memories attached.</div>
<div align="center">
Carly's nativity scene is set up, each piece dated from the past 13 years.</div>
<div align="center">
The countdown box was back with a month full of fun.</div>
<div align="center">
The albums full of Christmas cards from family and friends are out.</div>
<div align="center">
I think we are ready...</div>
<div align="center">
well, that might be a small overstatement!</div>

Stole this one from Carly's phone camera roll! </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carly had 3 neighborhood friends over for burgers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(and eyeball cake!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The girls waited until dark to hit a couple of houses for treats</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(only little kids trick-or-treat when it is light outside). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They came into the kitchen in their super hero attire,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">we took a couple of pictures,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and off they went to the "donut" house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(what else does the owner of the krispie kreme give out...duh mom!)</span></div>

1st basketball game of the season was a good one. It was an 8th grade only game which allowed Carly and her 8th grade teammates to have lots of play time. It gave them a chance to shake the nerves and have fun! <span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">What a great way to start the season!</span></div>

Shaking my head.... Look at their surroundings! I'm pretty sure a tsunami has come through. No wonder an extra pair of uniform shorts came home with us. It will be a miracle if we make it through the season with all our stuff. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, off we went on an adventure...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carly just said, "mom" and rolled her eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She loves it when I use the word "adventure".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We spend the weekend in Ocean Springs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">enjoying a little get-a-way </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">while Carly played in a little tennis tournament.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We explored and ate, laughed and ate, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">played tennis and ate, took a walk on the beach and ate, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and, well you get the idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Carly won the consolation bracket, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and with a new friend that she met this weekend, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">won the doubles bracket!</span><br />

One day we are going to look back and be amazed <br />
at how many pictures there are of Carly growing up.<br />
I wish I had more documentation of my everyday life growing up.<br />
But, then we are going to get to age 12<br />
and all there are going to be are deuces and duck faces!</div>

Before we move in to our new home, </div>
<div align="center">
there is lots to do, to make it our own.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The kitchen is getting a complete overhaul </div>
<div align="center">
including counter tops, floors, appliances, AND</div>
<div align="center">
a large opening from the kitchen looking into the living area.</div>
<div align="center">

The demolition has begun!</div>

Ready to put down roots and feel at home.</div>

Ready to have a yard for Sofie to run around in.</div>
<div align="center">
Ready to have the grill and to cook out on our new patio.</div>
<div align="center">
Ready to get all our belongings out of storage.</div>
<div align="center">
Ready for Carly to have friends as neighbors.</div>
<div align="center">
Ready to have people over.</div>
<div align="center">
Ready to have room to spread out.</div>

<br />
<div align="center">
Sunday afternoon, we ended up in the closet a couple of times</div>
<div align="center">
because of a line of storms that was moving across the area.</div>
<div align="center">
Taking cover for storms is nothing new.</div>
<div align="center">
Over the years, I feel like we have perfected the process.</div>
<div align="center">
Everyone has their shoes on. Purse is close by.</div>
<div align="center">
Phone in hand. T.V. news on. Weather radio going off.</div>
<div align="center">
Pillows and blankets fill the space.</div>
<div align="center">
Kenny is outside looking at the sky.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
During the third trip to the closet,</div>
<div align="center">
Kenny comes dashing in the closet saying</div>
<div align="center">
"It's close. I heard it"</div>
<div align="center">
From the apartment balcony, Kenny had seen and heard it move by.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm glad I didn't see the videos until later.</div>
<div align="center">
We hunkered down and listened as it moved by.</div>
<div align="center">
Before we even got out of the closet, people were posting on facebook</div>
<div align="center">
and obviously we were on the news because the phone started ringing.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The path of destruction is unbelievable.</div>
<div align="center">
It is also completely amazing that no one died.</div>
<div align="center">
I don't know how.</div>
<div align="center">
There are stories. Stories from people you know.</div>
<div align="center">
Stories from families at church.</div>
<div align="center">
Stories of people from work.</div>
<div align="center">
It was too close.</div>
<div align="center">

Happy 13th Birthday!</div>
<div align="center">
The official teenage years have started.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We had King Cake for breakfast birthday morning</div>
<div align="center">
since Carly was celebrating during the Mardi Gras season,</div>
<div align="center">
and she chose Mugshots for dinner.</div>
<div align="center">
{Carly ordered fried cheese, a cheeseburger, </div>
<div align="center">
and french fries that she dips in Ranch dressing}</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Carly wanted her tennis racquets restrung for her birthday</div>
<div align="center">
and if she can EVER make up her mind, </div>
<div align="center">
she will get a new bedspread/linens for her bed.</div>
<div align="center">

With our move further south, it has become a "bigger deal".</div>
<div align="center">
This year we got to ride on the Trustmark float</div>
<div align="center">
in Hattiesburg's Mardi Gras parade.</div>
<div align="center">
Look at those beads handing in the float!</div>
<div align="center">
Can you believe we threw them ALL?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
FUN FACT: The theme of the parade this year was Music</div>
<div align="center">
so Trustmark had chosen a 50's theme.</div>
<div align="center">
That is Kenny's letterman jacket Carly is wearing!</div>

Since basketball season started, I have been planning a trip to </div>
<div align="center">
Desoto County, so we could see SBEC's 7th graders play.</div>
<div align="center">
What a special trip to see past teammates and dear friends.</div>
<div align="center">
The girls played a great game and it was bittersweet to hangout in the stands.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
More friends met us after the game to eat dinner and visit.</div>
<div align="center">
Although we have really missed everyone,</div>
<div align="center">
it felt like we had just been too busy to get together.</div>
<div align="center">
The girls had a great time catching up</div>
<div align="center">
almost as much as the mom's did!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The one downer about our trip was the Swindoll house </div>
<div align="center">
was icky with the flu so we had to stay away.</div>
<div align="center">
Caroline did get to hang out with us at the game and dinner</div>
<div align="center">
but we missed everyone else!</div>
<div align="center">
Just another good reason to start planning for next time.</div>
