Christmas

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Christmas Parties, Santa comes to Awanas & Breakfast with Santa!

What a week! Tuesday night we went to our church Christmas party. Wednesday night we had a Birthday party for Jesus & Santa showed up in Cubbies to watch them do their pledges & sing the Cubbies song. I asked the Puggles (2 year olds) if they wanted to see Santa and they said No. We had a gift exchange and we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. Thursday we had Brookes class party. Brookes teacher loved her present. She had told me a long time ago she wanted one of these purses. The day after Thanksgiving la bag lady had them 50% off & her teacher had never seen the black &red. She is a georgia bulldogs graduate. Thursday night we had my work party at Old Armory & Friday night Heath & I went to a tacky Christmas party sweater. We had a great time but didn't get to stay that long. I called my mom to check on the kids and Brooke had been crying over thirty minutes for me. I think after being left three nights this week & getting to bed late she was just exhausted. Saturday morning we took the kids to breakfast with Santa at Candyland then went to Heaths aunts for another Christmas party. Last night we decided to stay home with the kids and spend time with just them. We ate dinner, made cupcakes, watched a Christmas movie then we all crashed at 9pm. I am looking forward to this week and if I don't post again I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Our little Mary & Boykin Parade

Brookes choir did their program Sunday morning and she did a great job as Mary. Her teacher even came to watch her. Then we met Marc, Sherri & Kendel & went to boykin parade. My boss had been asking us to come so we met up with her family and we were even on channel 19 news Sunday night. The kids picture is also suppose to be in the Chronicle one day this week. We have five Christmas parties this week starting tonight with our church one. Thank goodness this is also the last week of school.

Santa Claus!

Yesterday we were invited to the Thompsons to see Santa, make a Christmas Tree & eat cookies. Both the kids sat on Santas lap. Brooke asked for an ipod & razor scooter & Brady asked for a four wheeler. He said is that it and Brady said no & Santa said no sir? Brady looked up at him like what?? but he said no sir real quick. My dad always corrects him & makes him say sir & mam which I think is great and he needs to be doing that but it was funny coming from Santa. Santa also told them the story of Jesus birth & I thought that was awesome. Brooke is Mary in our childrens choir program today & we are going to the boykin parade this afternoon. Hope everyone is enjoying this busy but wonderful CHRISTmas season.

Thanksgiving

We went to Heaths grandmothers and ate lunch on Thanksgiving & the kids got to play outside since it was so nice. Then we went to the Powers annual Christmas lighting. Both of the kids sat on Santas lap & told him what they wanted for Christmas. This was the first time Brooke has sat on his lap since she was ten months old. After that we went to my sisters and had Sonic with them & my parents. Friday morning Sherri & I left at 4:30am to go Christmas shopping. We met our husbands & kids for dinner at 6pm then went back out. I got home around 8:30pm so we had a long day of shopping but did get some good deals. The husbands did take them to the movies so the day didn't drag to bad for them. Saturday my brother & sister & their families came to watch the football game at our house then for dinner we had our families Thanksgiving meal. Sunday after church Heath took the kids to a birthday party at Bounce Around while I cleaned house. Last night we finally put our tree up & the kids had a good time decorating it. I love all the handmade ornaments & ones with pictures on them from when they were babies.
