Random Holiday Pictures...

I found several pictures that I took over the holidays, but I haven't posted yet. These are all over the place, but I wanted to get them on here...
Myla...ready for the holiday madness to begin!
Myla loves houseshoes. These were some she got from a friend. Well, she found them one night after she had gotten ready for bed and, of course, she wanted to put them on. Obviously, they wouldn't go on over her pj's so we just had to make do!
Sis Sis brought this smock that was my mom's when she was a little girl to Myla over Christmas. It was acutally made by my great-grandmother. Anyway, we put it on her and then she started vacuuming. I thought she kind of looked like a maid!
And another...
Michael took Myla for a ride in the wagon while we were at my parents house. We had to get out and enjoy the stinking 70 degree weather over Christmas. She had so much fun!
WHEEEEEE!!!! Hold on tight!
"Hey, Mimi, you should try this sometime!"
"Faster...faster!
"Are we done?"
"Thanks for the ride, Daddy!"
As you can tell, Myla is still enjoying her piano and her pink Barbie shoes! Do you think we might have a little Beethoven on our hands?
I don't think I have posted pictures of this yet, but Myla loves to sit on the couch and play. She can get up there by herself most times, so I have to be watching all the time!

Mr. & Mrs. Spencer Daniel Richardson...

The weekend after Christmas we got to celebrate in the marriage of Michael's sister, Mary Jennifer and her now husband, Spencer. It is still hard for me to believe that Mary Jennifer is married considering how young she was when Michael and I started dating. I feel like I have watched her grow up, and it has been a privilege. She has become not only a beautiful girl on the outside, but she is even more beautiful on the inside. She loves the Lord and His love and kindness radiates from her. And we are so excited to welcome Spencer into the family! It is so obvious how much he loves Mary Jennifer, and I know the Lord is going to bless their marriage tremendously!
The wedding was beautiful! Myla was the flower girl, and she actually did okay. She walked down with Michael and me carrying her pink dog and sucking her thumb! I'm not sure if the photographer got a picture of it, but I hope he did! She sat with my mom and Frank and made it through the whole ceremony without much more than a peep!
Sorry there are so many pictures, but I don't think my nerves could have handled another slideshow!

The proud brother and sister-in-law
Laura Leigh and Bro. Ben. Bro. Ben married us six years ago, and now he has married Mary Jennifer and Spencer. Not only did he marry them, but he also baptized Mary Jennifer when she accepted Christ, so he has shared in the great line of Mary Jennifer's spiritual heritage! We love you Bro. Ben and Laura Leigh!
Bro. Ben and Michael - Bro. Ben kept us laughing through dinner!

Pink dog is never far away!
Sweet face!
I love this one! She enjoyed looking at herself in the mirror! I think she had moved on to a bag of Goldfish by this time!
Mrs. Sandy and me...waiting for the wedding to begin!
Kisses from Sae Sae!
Mrs. Sandy and Mary Jennifer. She made such a beautiful bride! Making their getaway!
We just thought they had left! They came back to get some food for the road!

Alright, Mr. Joe says the party is over! Time to clean up!!!
Spencer and Mary Jennifer - thank you for letting us share in your special day! We wish you only God's best in your marriage together!!!
We love you!

Going to bed...

Okay, I'm going to bed! These slideshows have about made me pull my hair out! I don't know what I am doing wrong, but if I add any text to the post, the slideshow won't show up. I hate that the slideshows are out of order now, but I guess at least they are on here. I still have more to post from Christmas with my family and the wedding, but I don't know if I will do slideshows for those too!!!

Meurrier Christmas Slideshow...

Christmas Morning Slideshow...

Christmas Morning...

***Note***
I am having trouble posting the slideshow in the same post as the written text, so I am going to put it in a new post!
Christmas morning with Myla was so much fun! She had such a great time playing with all of the things that Santa brought her. We had such a relaxing morning just letting Myla play and taking our time getting ready to go to Batesville. I know the Christmas mornings in the future will just get more fun as Myla starts to figure out what is going on more! I think her most favorite thing she got was the spray bottle that went with her cleaning set. It is so funny that the most insiginificant thing was her favorite! Again, I took way too many pictures to post them all, so enjoy the slideshow!

Christmas with the Meurriers!

***Note***
Posting slideshow in new posting!
On Christmas Eve we celebrated Christmas with Michael's family. Their Christmas tradition has always been to do all of their festivities on Christmas Eve, which is always lots of fun! This year was fun with little Myla running around and opening up her gifts. I took lots of pictures, so instead of posting them all I took advice from my friend, Susan, and made a slideshow. I hope you enjoy it. Stay tuned for more posts to come!
