Kaylee's Preschool Christmas Party 12/12/08

Kaylee's Preschool class had their Happy Birthday Jesus Christmas party today. They ate lunch on birthday plates, wore party hats, and each of them got their own cupcake with a candle in it. We sang happy birthday to Jesus and Kaylee blew out her candle. Afterwards, we went back to the classroom for some nativity crafts. Christmas is a fun time year as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Christmas Brunch with Friends 12/12/08

What a treat it was today to go to Missy's house for a Christmas brunch with good friends Caroline, Heather, Melissa, and Missy. Although I was unable to stay long because I had to go to Kaylee's PK party for lunch, I had a great time. The food was fabulous, can't wait to get my hands on some new recipes!

Gingerbread Christmas Tree ~ 12/10/08

What a beautiful gingerbread tree the kids made today! This was so much easier than the gingerbread house we made last year. We already started eating it, too. It's yummy.

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

Future Spartans - December 7, 2008

Clayton and Nicholas were invited to Clayton's friend's birthday party at Mountain Brook High School's Football Field - Home of the Spartans. Some of the star Spartan players were there to play football with the 3rd grade boys. It was awesome! My boys were in heaven getting to play football with such big boys on a real field! The Spartans that came to play were Wilson Love, Connor Bynon, Miller Williams, and John Houston Blount. They first got to tour the locker room - which was hilarious - the boys were climbing on top of the lockers, then off to the weight room for some attempts at pull ups and bench pressing. After all that, the boys played a great game of football! Clayton and Nicholas are both in Bama jerseys-Nicholas #29 & Clayton #14.

The Kid's Christmas Tree 2008

The kid's love having their own Christmas tree! We set it up in the basement and pulled out all their ornaments from Christmas' past, plus, every year, I buy them a special ornament. This year, Kaylee got a set of Dora ornaments, Nicholas got Star Wars, and Clayton got 24 - Jeff Gordon. They hung them perfectly on the tree and then we plugged in the lights - Wow! A beautiful McDonald kid's Christmas tree! The only thing we need is a tree topper - the kids always want an angel or star. Maybe I will find one this year.

Cafe Adobe in Houston, TX - November 2008

Usually the girls and I get together at least once a year, but this time we brought our hubbies and kiddos. Julie and her sister, Nancy, Melinda, Stan, and their son, Evan, and Kevin, and I and our kids all had lunch together at Cafe Adobe in Houston, TX just to catch up and have some fun! It was great to see them!

Museum of Natural Science and History in Houston, TX - Nov. 2008

While in Houston, TX for the week of Thanksgiving, Papa, Kevin and I took the kids to the Museum of Natural Science and History one afternoon. They have wanted to go there every since they saw "Night at the Museum". It wasn't quite the same as the movie, but they did enjoy it. The dinosaurs were our favorite because they were so huge!

Happy Birthday Dad ~ November 28, 2008

Happy 61st Birthday Dad! We had a great time eating out to celebrate the occasion. Boudreaux's cajun restaurant was delicious, too. It was nice to see everyone - Uncle David, Aunt Kathryn, Granny Jean, Mom and Dad, and our family. I'm not sure who invited the crocodile??

Football with Daddy and Uncle Matt ~ 11/27/08

Thanksgiving day was perfect for playing football with Daddy and Uncle Matt. The boys played in an open field near GG's house in her neighborhood. Matt and Nicholas teamed up against Daddy and Clayton. After all the tackles, all the team huddles, and all the plays... Matt and Nicholas won by a slim margin.
