Merry Christmas family

Cousins together at last, gifts opened with excitement and holiday cheer for everyone. We ate, we drank and we giggled ourselves silly! This time of year is beautiful and worth all the hard work in making it all come together no matter where we are or what we do being together is so worth it!

Santa visits

We sent our letter to Santa requesting an early visit again this year and we have been waiting patiently for him to arrive. Last night when we went to bed we all assumed that was the night so we got the cookies and milk out, the carrots and the reindeer magic dust sprinkled in the grass and said goodbye to Christopher Popinkins our elf. When the kids went to bed Harrison said "I am going to wake up at 5:00am to see if Santa came". Jason and I both said no way you can wake up that early, before I went to bed I made sure he had not set his alarm to wake up. No kidding at 5:03 am both kids were in our room so excited that Santa had been here, so we drug our butts out of bed and made it downstairs, Christopher was gone and Santa had come. What a great surprise for us all.

Even Bodie got a visit from Santa.

A Dog's life

Oh the life of a dog, he will squeeze in anywhere he can just to be close and get some love.

Welcome home little Indian

To my surprise an Indian came home today from school named Little Lady Bug.

She says she learned in school that the king told the Indians they have to go to his Church and if they did not go to church they would have to go to jail.

Today was a happy and proud day for us all. The school we attend has an awards ceremony for students in 3rd grade on the A honor roll, A/B honor roll and perfect attendance.

FUN COUSIN WEEKEND

We all had such a great time this past Halloween weekend. Aunt Andrea, Layne, Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and we were a busy group. We made cookies and carved pumpkins Friday night and on Saturday we went to the Renaissance festival and had fun riding rides, riding an elephant and having our faces painted as well as meeting some unusual folks. On Sunday we went trick or treating as The Llittle Mermaid, Snow White and Darth Vader. We all had a good time and loved spending time with family!!
