Christmas Eve 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve!  The evening began with all my extended family.  Then after they left we had Christmas with Nana and Grandad.  As usual, the boys were thoroughly spoiled!

Morgan’s Birthday Party

Yesterday Sean went to his friend Morgan’s birthday party.  At first he only wanted me to hold him.  After about five minutes he said, “Okay, I’ll go play.”  He ended up having a blast!

Ian’s School Christmas Party

I was able to help coordinate Ian’s school Christmas party this year.  It was a little overwhelming at first, but once the other mother and I got together and figured everything out, I felt much better!  It went really well.  Ian had a great time eating tons of junk food, listening to a story, and making an ornament.

Santa Claus

For the first time in quite a while, we actually had two smiling boys in our annual Santa Claus picture!  It won’t be long until Ian will be too big to sit on Santa’s lap!

BJU Christmas Lighting

My parents spent some time with us this week.  We had a wonderful time with them!  On Friday we went to the Christmas lighting at Bob Jones University.  This has become a bit of a tradition for us.  The boys really enjoy it.  Actually, so do I!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving together.  We borrowed a house from some friends.  The house is in a beautiful, gated golf community.  The neighborhood is spread across the side of Glassy Mountain in Landrum, SC.  We thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous house, our Thanksgiving dinner at Cracker Barrel, strolling through Hendersonville, and exploring the neighborhood!

School Thanksgiving Feast

Ian’s class had a Thanksgiving feast the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  Ian thoroughly enjoyed dressing up in his Indian costume.  They had a lot of food: turkey, venison meat balls, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, cheese, applesauce, a roll, and pumpkin pie!
