Good Monday morning!
It's Mindless Monday... lots of pics in the Gallery (all self-explanatory) and very few words in the post.
RANDOMNESS #1 - It is also the first day of The Twelve Days of Inflatables. These inflatables were not just found in our fair city, but in Oxford, Trussville, Pinson and everywhere in between. Enjoy!
RANDOMNESS #2 - Josh, my Christmas lumberjack, came in from work Saturday with a lovely little Christmas story to share.
He was helping a family with two children, one of which was a four year-old little boy. With a 6'2" young man following their family from tree to tree with a saw, I guess the question of "Who are you?" from the little boy came up quite naturally.
"I'm an elf," Josh replied.
"Do you know Santa?" the little boy inquired.
"Sure do. What are you wanting for Christmas?" Josh responded.
"A Spider-Man bike."
"Well, you know Spider-Man is Santa's favorite superhero. I'll be glad to put in a good word for you." The little boy just smiled. However, his older sister was a little more savvy.
"If you are an elf, how come you're so tall?" she questioned.
"Have you ever heard of Buddy the Elf?" Josh countered... and, of course, she had. "Well, he's taller than me."
Nuff said. How many of us can say we had an elf from the North Pole help us cut down our very own Christmas tree? Very cool.
RANDOMNESS #3 - The following is a list of things we did, but I didn't take a picture for one reason or another:
1. We were "caroled" by the Graber family and given a container of gingerbread (unbelievably delicious) AND my 13th Christmas card. I didn't take a picture because there are two teens in the family, and I didn't want to embarrass or spook them.
2. Mikie, Roxie, Grandmother and I attended the Christmas program at our church. It was fabulous, but dark. No pictures there either.
3. I took a long Sunday afternoon nap. I hide the camera during my naps. I am an ugly cryer and an ugly napper. It is what it is.
4. Mikie and I went on a mini-date Sunday night to Logan's and Books-A-Million. I'm assuming you've seen the inside of Logan's so I didn't take a picture.
Have a fantastic Monday. Stay warm. On Tuesday, I'll be sharing another inflatable, a FANTASTIC recipe and so much more. It is a busy time of year, but good ideas abound!
Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Sincerely,
The Enchanting (and Mother of an Elf) Belinda

Friday...
Finally, some new basketball action shots.
The JV team had two 40-minute games Friday, so I thought I would just go ahead and start filming now!
And here's the obligatory Bryant Tuggle pic. He's a HUGE supporter of our baskeball team. Always has been... always will be. Well, until he gets his own driver's license!
Saturday...
We spent the day with the cousins Saturday. Monica, Amy, Roxie and I shopped at Brookwood, ate at Yolo's and went to the movies (Pirates 4). It was a great day, but the best part was our celebrity sighting...
That's right! Will Ferrell! (Please feel free to use your imagination. I know we did!)
Sunday...
Mikie's 50th Family Birthday Celebration! Everyone knows 50 year-old men LOVE the Green Lantern...and their wives really like Ryan Reynolds! (How cool would it be to have your picture on a birthday party plate package? Another goal, perhaps?)
What do you give a 50 year-old guys for his birthday? Cards... filled with money, Ricky Skaggs' concert tickets, a True Grit DVD and a Red Devil's Food Cake with Divinity Icing (from his Mom). It was a very good day!
Lovely Melia gave him the True Grit DVD. (I LOVE that movie!)
And it wouldn't be a birthday without a hug from Roxie!
