With weather into the sixties, we took every chance to enjoy the parks in Little Rock this December, playing at Pinnacle, Alsopp Park, the Rivermarket, & Two Rivers. The natural beauty of the Ozarks had us certainly thinking twice about the place we've chosen to call "home" for now.
We had three things to celebrate this December. First was Jimmy's engagement to EA, whom we all love. With her family we visited the Garvan Gardens Christmas lights.
Second was Jesus' birthday, which we celebrated with songs, fellowship, food &wine, gifts for each other, and gifts for people around the world via Compassion and World Vision. The gift for the whole family that was a hit was the board game Dominion. Rosie's favorites were binoculars and a magnifying glass (she is pictured here wearing every article from her entire dress-up box).
Third, of course, we celebrated Katie's 27th birthday with dinner at home one night and at YaYa's the next night.
It was a lovely trip, and as Rosie says, "I already miss my uncles - Uncle GDaddy, Uncle Mimi, John, David, and...John?" (Sorry, Jim, we're working on it.)

I have to say, I've been a wee bit "homesick" since coming back to NY (especially with freezing temperatures vs. 60 degrees) but I just remembered that last summer in AR it was so hot that no one went outside, ever. And that made me feel a little better.
Tell Rosie not to forget Uncle Elliott either!! Glad I got to see you and your family
