Santa made a stop

Yes the man in the red suit stopped by our house on Christmas Eve. Wenn got everything on her list and then some. She loves her new American Girl doll that looks "just like her". I mean don't you think they could be twins? She has already put the gymnastics mat to good use by practicing every single day. Meg and Wenn have both enjoyed all of the musical instruments Santa brought Wenn and we have had jam sessions every night. Maybe we will line up some gigs in the near future. I gave both the girls glow in the dark Auburn shirts that they proudly wore all Christmas morning. Andy said it looked like Auburn threw up in our house. I think someone is still having issues with the fact that Cam the Man chose AU over MSU. We gave the girls bean bags for the playroom and they have been drug all over the house and used in all kinds of interesting ways. Overall it was a fabulous Christmas and so fun to see the excitement on their faces. Some of my mom's family made the trip to Mississippi to have lunch with us and it was so good to catch up with them. Meg adores my grandmother and insist on climbing up on her lap anytime she is around so they enjoyed some quality time coloring together. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas - we sure did!

An angel, a shepherd and one hungry sheep

Our church had it's annual Joy Gift Pageant before Christmas and what a joyous event it was. We had so many kids participate this year which made it so special. Wenn was an angel, Meg was a sheep and Andy was a shepherd, and boy did those shepherds have their work cut out for them. The littlest ones get to be sheep and they ranged from ages 4 down to Meg who is not even two and there were about 8 of them. I gave Andy a snack bag of vanilla wafers to put in his pocket in case the sheep got a little rowdy. Well our wild child went through those before the program even started. Luckily Joseph (Parker) had puffs for baby Jesus (Miller) and he was kind enough to share with our always hungry Meg. Everyone did great and a good time was had by all. It was a wonderful way to be reminded of the real reason for the season!

Fun times

It's that time of year...well I can't recall the rest of the words to that song but it is that time of year when life gets even more hectic than usual. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to go by so fast but we have had some fun with family and friends. The Mills family came to town this past weekend and we were so glad they stopped by for a visit. Kate and I have been friends since kindergarten and I am so thankful for that. I was telling Wenn that the other day and explaining that some of her friends she has now she might have when she is a grown up. That is such a neat thing to think about, that she is forming friendships that she could have her whole life. Anyway, I always enjoy catching up with Kate and it is so great to see our girls play together. Baker is not quite old enough to play yet but Meg enjoyed holding the baby, that is when she wasn't chunking trophies in the direction of Baker's head - I am still thankful that didn't end in a trip to the ER. It was so close! We loved seeing you Kate, Myrt and Baker!

Miss Wenn decided to do her best Santa impression in the bathtub the other night. She is so ready for him to come to our house! I hope he makes a stop by your house too! Happy Holidays!
