Mulberry Street: Christmas 2009 Begins

"And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street"

There is this great Dr. Seuess book about a boy who walks to school everyday down Mulberry Street. All he ever encounters are normal things and he wants to see extraordinary things so he can have a good story for his dad when he gets home. So the book is made up of this boy's imaginative exaggeration of the normal. Great things that all build upon each other to end with a grand parade. The boy finally realizes all the exaggeration is too unbelievable and decides to just tell his dad what he really saw on the way home-the normal, everyday stuff. That's what we are sharing in this blog, so we thought Mulberry Street a fitting name. We sometimes feel no one wants to hear about our everyday lives, but hopefully you do. Enjoy!

Christmas 2009 Begins

To begin Christmas break, David took the last day of school off and we went to Jackson. It had been 4 years and 2 children since our last trip. It was WAYYY overdue! We only got to stay for 2 nights and had to leave very early the last morning (I'm talking 6 a.m.), but we had a great time. Mamaw and Papaw cooked for us, Mrs. Hall came to see us and meet Joseph. Aunt Julie made us cupcakes and came to visit. And Uncle Paul came to eat dinner. Uncle Daniel and Aunt Hali came our second day and spent that night. Lily loved going to mamaw's beauty parlor, where she got her hair curled! The kids all enjoyed being somewhere different and getting to visit with so many people. We had a great time and hope to go back much sooner than 4 years!
