"Murder in Riotsville"

On Tuesday evening, March 30, Jenny, Abbey, and Mandy were part of a murder mystery dinner entitled "Murder in Riotsville." Our Sunday school class ladies were the participants. As you can tell from the pictures, the mystery was set in the 1920's during the time of gangsters. It was a lot of fun dressing up and trying to figure out who the murderer was.

"Little House on the Prairie"

On Thursday, March 18, Virginia, Jenny, and Abbey got to go the the Raleigh Progress Energy Center to see the musical "Little House on the Prairie." Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura in the original TV series, played Carolina ("Ma") in this Broadway show. It started at 2:00 and didn't end 'til almost 5:00. It was a wonderful show and an awesome experience. There were many girls there dressed in their "prairie finest." We greatly enjoyed the show!

Winter Snow Fun

The end of January and the beginning of February brought a wonderful winter storm our way - very unusual for North Carolina. We enjoyed a few "snow-bound" days. Here are a few pictures of our "winter wonderland".

Abbey's Birthday Party

On Thursday, January 28, Abbey and several of her friends went to Red Robin to celebrate her 28th birthday. As an extra bonus to her, when we were leaving, Kyle Singler (Duke basketball player), walked in. Abbey got to take a picture with him and get his autograph on her Duke hat.

Christmas 2009

Another Christmas has come and gone. Dad, Mom, Jenny, Abbey, and Mandy spent the morning leisurely opening their presents. Around 3:00, the Carrera family, Edgar, and Bubba came over for Christmas dinner. We enjoyed a pleasant meal with them. Daniel, Claudia, and Leslie came for a visit for New Year's. They arrived on Thursday afternoon. We spent New Year's Eve eating snacks and visiting with one another. On Friday, we went shopping and enjoyed another Christmas together. On Saturday evening, we ate dinner at Karama's Japanese grill. After a delicious and filling meal, we went to the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill for the show "Star of Bethlehem." After that show, we stayed for a second show - "Carolina Skies." After church on Sunday, Daniel, Claudia, and Leslie had to return home. Again, we had a wonderful visit with them!
