Life Lately - Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

Monday
Ella won the "Noble Knight Award" for always working well with others.  We were so proud!  She was most excited about her free ice cream pass. 
Mr. Glen gave Caleb an old train and Corey and Caleb took it apart to try and get it running again.

Tuesday 
Caleb won the "Noble Knight Award" for always being responsible and prepared for class!  We were proud of Caleb too - what a great week at our house.

Friday 
Dec 1st - so we started wearing our Christmas clothes!

Mom and I dropped the kids off at school and headed to Raleigh for a shopping day - but didn't take any pictures!

That evening we headed to Downtown Wilson with the Browns 
First stop - Imagination Station 
We made Grinch Slime 
Played some reindeer games 
and made some snow - this was so neat! 
Playing outside on the dinosaur 
Little girls wanted a turn too! 
Waiting for the Wagon Rides 
Trying to get a picture but it was so packed! 
These kids have really grown up - they were so cute walking together and catching up.  I would ask what they were talking about and the answer was always "Oh nothing". 
Last stop of the night - Edna Boykin Center
Christmas Tree Crafts

Saturday 
I had Corey up bright and early working 
Decorating for Christmas! 
We headed to the Wilson Christmas Parade
Mammy and her girls 
The crew all ready for the parade 
Me and Kelly waiting for it to start 
Waiting on Nash Street with the crew 
Abbie and Madi Grace joined us too! 
It rained on our parade - literally!  Corey trying to keep them dry. 
Santa on the fire truck 
All the festivities wore this girl out and she napped on Saturday afternoon!

That night we headed to Goldsboro for "A Night in Bethlehem" 
Ella has become a daddy's girl lately 
The kids could go into different shops and make something  
With the soldiers and guards 
The kids loved the camel 
Waiting to go in the Inn  - but there was no room! 
Warming up with bread and hot chocolate 
Nativity Scene 
Writing in the scribe shop 
Feeding the animals 
Caleb at the Petting Area 
They had people roaming around Bethlehem 
Making a bracelet in the jewelry shop 
Fun Night with the Hutchens and Boltons - focusing on the Reason for the Season

Sunday 
Christmas Baking Day - this girl was a big help! 
Haystacks 
Turtles 
The boys were at home making a volcano for Caleb's science project
Caleb came over to help us eat some goodies :)

What a busy week - getting closer and closer to Christmas!
