Christmas at the Connells....

Dustins Present..

Yes Dustin did get one big present this year...his own mini fridge for his room. He wanted me to take some pictures to show everyone. Who knew this would make him so happy? :-) But i will have to say he did NOT know what the ice trays were for....notice one is sitting on the shelf LOL!

Merry Christmas!

Hey gang,
Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! Dee and I had a great day... I'll be posting some more pics on our website tomorrow... but for now - here we are with our Christmas tree!

Mystery card....

Ok today I went out to check my mail and yes its wonderful being off of work all week, when I get this letter. well I open it to see if it was a Christmas card and low and behold...its a mystery. Who is this woman with dad? I cracked up when I saw it...No wonder she was so good at Pac man .... :-)

Ready to Order

Anyone wishing to purchase this ornament may do so. To ensure delivery by Christmas Eve, please order ASAP. IT can be yours today for a small fee of $.01. Act now, this special won't last long.

Santa!

Anyone who has asked Brooke about Santa, knows she is not too fond of this Jolly Fellow! She mostly wants to observe from the distance. So.... it was quite unexpected that I could get her to sit in his lap. Her eyes teared up, but then she got better. I don't think she ever said anything though. She didn't ask for her 'pony'.

Pickle Fun

This is a picture from Thanksgiving. I didn't know that a pickle could cause so much craziness!

Sad Day

we lost a chicken a few days ago. It was mary. she was a little special (in that she was slow and had trouble reading) and sometimes layed tiny tiny eggs. we will always remember her.

in lieu of flowers, please send cash or money orders to The Gants are going to Jamaica! Fund, 206 overlook dr. Franklin, tn 37069.

Guitar Star

The Lake Guntersville Music Academy presented Jack with this award on Saturday. Jack, along with other students from the music school, participated in a recital this weekend. We are so proud of Jack! He is such a great guitar student. I have pictures from the recital, but they are still on my camera.

Thanks for teaching me good dental hygiene when I was a kid... all those nights dad made me get out of bed and brush my teeth have paid off!!!
