Bailey Manor 2012

We took Mom to see the trees at the Bailey Manor in Clinton this year.  There were 92 trees this year and some pretty cool ones!  Our favorite tree was the Grinch tree... (see Madden below with the white tree).  The "Grinch" stole an ornament from all the other trees in the Bailey Manor to decorate his tree.  In its place he left a little red slip of paper to say that they had been "grinched."  It was very creative.

Edventure with Neighbors

We took advantage of everyone being out for Winter Break and took a trip to Edventure.  The kids had a blast...literally!  The moms also took advantage of this time to catch up, play with the kids and talk! :>  What a great morning!

(Yes, they others wanted to go at 10:30am... Emily was worried that I wouldn't be up and ready!)
