Memories of a past-pink Christmas

Christmas is almost here. I decided to post a few old pictures of my dining room tree decorated in pink. I wanted to put new pictures of my tree this year, however I have misplaced my cord that hooks my camera up to my computer. I haven't been able to download any new pictures for a while. I hope that I find it soon!

I think this tree was so pretty. I just love pink!! I decorated my tree in red, ivory, and gold this year. I used silk roses in red and ivory. It looks elegant to me. I just HAD to use roses this year because after all I am a southern rose.

I hope everyone is having fun decorating and getting ready for the celebration of our Savior's birth!

Cole and his cousins

I have always loved these pictures of Cole and his 2 cousins. We were at mom's cabin for Christmas in Kentwood,La. I will post a picture of them together when I see them at Christmas this year. This was before our last babies were born. (Garrett and Chase)


Michael Lane Spears, Whitney Lynn Spears, and Jonathan Coleman Noll (Cole).

Family Christmas party in Hattiesburg

This was in 2002. It was Garrett's 2nd Christmas. We were all dressed up to go to our family Christmas party at my Uncle Danny and Aunt Darriene's house in Hattiesburg. This is my brother's little girl "Vanessa" with Garrett and Cole. I bought her that Christmas dress to wear to the party Cole didn't want to wear the sweater I had bought for him. (but he did, for me) Don't they all look festive? We went and picked up my grandma (the one that is in the nursing home now) and took her with us. We had a wonderful time.

The World of Coke

These were taken in Atlanta, Ga. at The World of Coke. We had such a good time. It was Garrett's first Christmas. It was so cold there! Cole was so protective of his little brother. He watched over him so closely. We went to the underground mall and to The World of Coke. We also took them to The Rocket Diner and Hard Rock Cafe. I have photos of that somewhere too. In a box, somewhere. I still have so much to unpack.

Cole and the BIG tree

Cole in the 'Mall Of Baton Rouge' in Louisiana. I think that he was about 6 years old here. Wasn't that the biggest tree? I don't know what got on his face in this picture. It looks like snow! LOL

Christmas at mom's cabin in the woods...

These were taken one Christmas at my mom's little cabin. My brother Robbie, me and my sister Melinda. Mom is with us in the first picture. You can see that she likes Southwestern decor. Her cabin was so cozy that year. They were not even through with it and you can see she had already decorated for Christmas. Look behind the cow skull hanging on the wall and you an see the insulation that had not been covered yet. LOL

Christmas 1991

(Christmas-1991) Me and Cole. He was 4 months old and I was 26 yeas old. Christy and Cole. She was 8 years old. It was Christmas Eve and it was just us living in our little apartment. We had a real tree and Christy and I decorated it together. I made most of the ornaments. They were ready for bed and in their p.j.'s and nightgown. They were all excited about Santa! The next morning they were so excited to get all of their gifts. Cole didn't really know what was going on but he loved it. I didn't have a lot of extra money to buy gifts but I did what I could. I bought them a few dollar store toys and they were so happy!
