Clarkson Christmas

The Clarkson's celebrated Christmas our traditional way - Christmas morning with Aunt Margaret; afternoon and gifts at Mom's; and night with the Lester's. Our dinner, however, was on 12-26-07 at Mom's house - when most could get together and enjoy Mom's "trendy" half-lit Christmas tree.

With a new camera in tow (thanks to Drew and Mom), lots of pictures were taken! Marisa was there to appreciate the new camera - and to get her Bailey-printed pj's! For pics, click here.

Zbeeb Christmas Eve

The Zbeeb's celebrated Christmas Eve together. We had a great meal at Murphy's in VA Highlands - thanks LARGELY to Mary and Kiki for our Christmas gift certificate for the meal!!! What a terrific surprise.

Then we went back to our house for dessert - Drew and I baked pumpkin pies and pound cake with caramel apple sauce for everyone. We opened gifts and had a great time. Clint and Sarina came over for the festivities, too!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas like us! For more pics, click here.

Holiday Tipping!

During the holidays, it's important to say thanks. Here's a holiday tipping guide that I found online for those services that you use year-round.

December fun from Todd and Marisa

Marisa sent me these great pics... check them out!

They see dead people!

If you misssed it, last night A&E premiered a new show, Paranormal State. It's about a Penn State University student, Ryan Buell, who founded the Paranormal Research Society. We were pretty impressed and can't wait for next week's episode. The show airs on Sundays at 10pm. Watch, if you dare!

Looks like a Christmas card...

except Daddy Dolittle didn't make it in the picture!

Nothing like a little Christmas argyle... except Christmas bling!

Happy Birthday Reese!

We celebrated Reese's 33rd birthday this past weekend in good ol' Powder Springs. Alex cooked Italian food - even used Nana's recipe for meatball sauce. Yum! Everything was delicious - especially the 'Better than Sex' cake that completed the night! Enjoy the pics by clicking here.
