Santa in Oxford

Santa was walking the Square on Friday, November 26.  Jane and Kathryn wanted to make sure Santa got their list on the first day of the Christmas season so we went searching for him.

Sturdivant Thanksgiving 2010

The Sturdivants gathered at Long Last Farm for Thanksgiving 2010. The Gaines Family was certainly missed! Bingo was not played this year, but we did play 2 rounds of LRC (left, right, center- a no skill/luck dice game played for money) and Gary won BOTH rounds! We all think he cheated!!
Aunt Cindy took lots of photos so hopefully I can get some from her to add to the post.
We are thankful for all our many blessings and such a great family!

Out of focus, but a cute pic of Mary Laine, Jane and Carson playing on the floor.

Officially Pigtail Time!

It's a girl! Introducing baby Stella!

Aunt Bettye Jane and Uncle Chops found out November 9 that they were having a GIRL! She will be named Stella in honor of her grandmother. Bettye Jane is named for her grandmother, as well as Stella. The past 4 generations goes as follows:

Stella Magehee

Bettye Jane Jenkins

Stella Jenkins Carby

Bettye Jane Carby Roberts-

....and now Stella Roberts!!

We are thrilled another girl will be added to the Carby Family! The 3 girl cousins will all be within 18 months of each other, but all in different states oddly enough. Below are the sonogram pictures from their appointment.

Congratulations Bettye Jane and Charlie!!! We are so excited for you and anxiously await March 27, 2011!!!!

Jane's Horse Riding

Jane received this horse for her birthday from Aunt Bettye Jane and Uncle Charlie and although she has enjoyed playing with it, she has not figured out how to sit on it and move it herself-until today! Here she is pushing the horse and "posting". Gran Jan should be proud!
