Christmas 2012

On Christmas Eve we went to Mom and Dad's house to celebrate Christmas with Mom, Dad, Nick and Sophie. We made, baked and decorated Mickey gingerbread cookies, opened presents, ate a delicious dinner, and played. What a great night!

On Christmas morning, Madden was so excited to wake up to Santa's toys that he brought! Madden was especially excited about the nutcracker that Santa brought and the minecraft pickaxe.

On Christmas Day, we went to Dolly and Granddaddy's (the old folks nightclub) where all the cousins came. We ate some more, talked, shared and got to see how big all the little ones have gotten. That is such a special time for me.

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!)
