Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Part 1
2008 was another great year for the Green’s. Wow! Did we say another year...it seems like the calendar turns quicker than ever anymore! This year, instead of the traditional card, we wanted to go back to our past tradition of sending a bit of an update via letter. While we don’t have news of family additions (“Whew!!!” says Chad!) or moves (“Whew!!! says Tanya!)...[folks that have known us for a while understand that we had a pretty good track record of either having a baby or moving every other year or so!]...we still have had a year full of blessings and much to be thankful for.
As usual January and February was pretty quiet around the home front. March hits big with Jakob’s birthday. He turned 10 this year and we celebrated by way of Transformers, laser tag and CiCi’s Pizza! Later in March we had a great time on spring break going with Maw maw and Paw paw fishing at Uncle Calvin’s pond where Zach caught the most and the biggest fish of the day! April saw us celebrating the blessings of Easter once this year as well as hunting eggs with family friends at a local park.
May is extremely busy for our immediate and extended families with the limbs about to break off the family tree with all the birthdays...we’ve contributed two of them. Joshua turned 8 with a Spiderman birthday party at home and Luke turned 4 with a dinosaur birthday party at home. This May also found us camping at the state park in Gulf Shores, AL following a night stay in the USS Alabama on a cub scout trip. Well, Dad, Jake and Josh stayed on the ship the first night (very cool and lots of fun), which meant Mom, Zach and Luke were left to set up camp alone the first night! The first night was very hot and muggy, but they all made out just fine. Dad, Jake and Josh caught up the next day and we all camped together another 4 nights. Did we mention it was tent camping - no RV, no cabins - but we were conveniently located next to the air conditioned “facilities”...thanks to Mom’s advanced planning. We had a great time...on the beach by day and
cooking out and camping by night...the best of two of our family’s favorite things!
