My sister, Jennie, could not come to the celebration, but did make arrangements from Alaska to have amazing cupcakes at the celebration. Jeremy and I just had to go pick them up. This place was amazing!

We always end up on the pull-out couch. Thats fine. BUT, this couch was already broken. As soon as went to lay down on it, the whole thing folded up on us. 

We spent the afternoon touring the Hot Springs bath houses. 

​I love getting pictures of Donnie and Jessie having a moment to themselves. They are so cute! 

Happy birthday, MOM! Sixty looks good!

Our hotel was about a mile form the convention center where the music conference was being held and about half a mile from the Riverwalk. We used the LIME app to rent scooters to get around the city to avoid rediculous parking fees.

This will be my last big batch of cards for awhile. I have been making at least 300 handmade cards each year for the last 10 or more years. These cards started from using up the scraps from my scrapbooking and has grown into a project all of their own. The list of people who have been receiving these cards has been growing greatly each year.

Unfortunately, I cannot keep up with my teaching, scrapbooking, card making, and keep a general balance in my life. You will be seeing a lot fewer cards from me in the coming weeks, months, and years.  

It's time again! Time to visit our niece, Hunter!  

It was also Jessie's 30th birthday the week before. To celebrate, they asked everyone to come to Muskogee, OK and eat at Sakura Hibachi restaurant together.

After the main party at the restaurant, we went back to Donnie's house with Jessie's sister and husband and nephew.

We gave Donnie and Jessie a Custom-Made Catan game for up to 6 players.

The one purchase we made on Black Friday was cheap ticket for the next Cirque Du Soleil to come to Dallas. It was an amazing show! Can't wait for the next one to come to town.
