Monday
Snuggling with my girl watching some TV after we finished HW
Tuesday
The chair for my bedroom that was my birthday present finally arrived!
So excited to sit in it - after they had a bath!
Wednesday
Dunkin Donuts in car line - it was cold!
The kids wanted a milkshake after school - I said "sure" even though it was cold!
Scavenger Hunt with the teens
Thursday
Lunch with my BSF group - so thankful to study the book of John with these ladies!
We celebrated Kent's birthday
Cookie cake and candles!
Friday
We sold dad's car - even though it was bitter sweet to get rid of it - it is going to a family friend's grandson who needs it so dad would be glad to be helping someone.
We had a surprise visitor after school - we love Rhett!
Christmas with the Browns - we had different kind of soups - potato soup, clam chowder and sausage corn chowder and homemade corn bread
Kids by the tree
Love these sweet friends
With our moms who started the friendship so many years ago!
Present time!
Playing with Julia Claire's new book
The big kids played games with the dads
The middle ones snuggled with their grandmas and the littlest one went to bed
Horsey David
Later that night I went and wrapped presents with some church friends for our annual wrapping night but we didn't take a single picture!
Saturday
Pick up sticks with my boy - then he went and helped Josh and Corey put a play set together for Luke's Christmas present. Caleb said he "did a lot of drilling!"
Ella went shopping with me and mom - and wanted everything! Carrying around some things and trying to decide what she wanted from Papa.
She was a trooper and shopped all day long!
Finally found her some ear muffs!
We came home and got our PJs on for our party at Audrey's house
Audrey was so sweet to have all the kids boxes full of treats
We made homemade pizzas
Built a gingerbread house
Some of them worked really hard, and some of them ate a lot of candy
Caleb working hard trying to get it just right
These two may have eaten a lot of candy :)
Messy hands
All finished!
Mama Ella said "Don't worry - I got Luke"
Each with their little buddies by the Christmas tree
And then we took this guy out in public! We were all dressed in PJs but he went over the top -it was great!
Coffee and great friends!
And thus a new tradition was born - Jammy Cocoa Christmas Party!
We then rode around and saw some Christmas lights - this picture doesn't do it justice but we went to a neat light show in Lucama where the lights were timed to songs
And the kids played in the snow blowing at the end
Sunday
Looking so grown walking into church on Sunday - so proud of her jean jacket
Practicing for the Christmas play
The crazy kids ready for the play!
Sweet little angels
The rockers
The stars of the show - Ramona and Marty - they did a great job
It was a cute play called "Bethlehem Bound" - Ramona wanted to be a star and it was all about her until she realized it is really all about Jesus!
The rockers - "Its All About Me"
Caleb was a ham and really rocked it out!
The wiseman were looking for a star
The angels brought good news
And the shepherds led them to Jesus
The whole cast of the show
My stars - who all did a great job!
Saturday night was probably one of the highlights of my Christmas. Love spending time with sweet friends!
