If there's a limit, I've exceeded it

And if for some reason your computer decides to shut down on you, it very well could be due to the fact that I have totally exceeded the max amount of photos your allowed to post at one time.

I knew that getting a new camera would lead to this and that's why I've apologized ahead of time.

Now, on with a weekend wrap-up...

Friday night was our Sunday school's Christmas party, which was held at my cousin Ben and his wife Kristin's house. As always, we had a blast. The food was delicious. I ate until I was decidedly uncomfortable and played Catch Phrase until my facial muscles felt sore from laughing so hard.

Here's a few pics from the night:

Ben and Kristin



My cousin Marella and me

On Saturday, we went to my nephew's (J.P.) 5th birthday party. It was a beautiful, warm day and ended up reaching about 75 degrees! Welcome to December in the South!



Aunt Ali (also known as Big Al and J.P.'s mommy) stealing some sugar


Just a swingin'


Seriously Aunt Hollie, can a birthday boy get his swing on without having a camera put in his face every second?




Giving 'Great' some love


J.P. and his daddy, James


Papa and Kate

Gaga and Kate

Wonder why Kate is wearing only one shoe?
The other one is sitting on the table soaking wet, because 'somehow' it ended up in the fountain. Therefore, Kate was a one shoe wonder for the majority of the party.
And bear with me, here's a few more of Kate in her Christmas dress before church this morning.



If you stuck with me through that, you're a champ.

And oh yea, I was tagged by a few of my pals to post a pic of the 4th photo in the 4th folder on my computer, but I'll have to do that in another post. I don't need a reason to add any more photos to this one. I'll get to it ASAP girls.

As always- Kate is the cutest thing!! She's just like Kinley- missing a shoe!!! At least she has on her pants!

I've been watching Food Network all day and I just have to know... do you sound like Paula Deen?? I kept thinking when I was watching her, "Does Hollie sound like that?" I don't know anyone else from Georgia, so I was just wonderin'... ha ha...

New reader. I LOVE your blog. The picture of your daughter in the sunglasses is adorable and priceless.

p.s. I don't think a post could ever have too many pictures.

You can NEVER have too many pictures! I love the picture of Kate with the sunglasses -- that is adorable!

And the picture of the 3 of you at the end is a great one! Definitely frame-worthy!

Thanks for sharing!

Love Catch Phrase! We bought it while we were at my parent's fro Thanksgiving and my family had a blast playing.

We're breaking it out on Christmas too, I'm sure.

Love all the pictures - way too many pictures just means you had a great weekend. That's what I always think anyway. :-)

Okay- I got your comment... and I have a southern accent too. I was hoping that you wouldn't ask me if I sound like Bill Clinton! (I don't, not at all, but that is the only Arkansan I could think of!!)

I really just kept wondering if that thick of an accent could come out of such a small person!
