Our teachers

Last Tuesday was the kids last day of school before the Christmas break. It was Campbell's last day of Kindermusik; she really enjoys it. It was also Carter's last day of Playball. He learned skills for various sports, such as tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball and soccer. Carter is a "natural," or so his coach says! Wonder where he gets it from ;o)

The places Elfie goes!

Santa

Well this was the 5th attempt to get a somewhat descent picture and it is descent! We tried the first time to see the Santa at Bass Pro and Campbell did not want to cooperate. This one she did a little better but the first 2 pictures were bad and finally on the 3rd picture, it's a keeper for next the 50 years to be displayed! Campbell has on an adorable outfit but Santa is covering up the top! But at least we have a picture!

It's Christmas Time

Carter and Campbell did really well for these Christmas pictures! Thankfully there wasn't much of a wait and it was pouring down rain out so they weren't busy. Or maybe it was because Santa was watching and they knew their wanted presents were pending! Whatever it was, I am glad it went well. I love Christmas - the sights, the sounds and the smells! I really wish my house could stay decorated for more than a few weeks; actually I guess it could all the stores start decorating early! Hmmm, maybe next year! I am already making my plans for day after Christmas shopping to get a BIG tree and more decorations, I just know (hope) we will be in a new house next year! Carter has a red tree in his room this year and Campbell has a pink one! We have had fun decorating! I love making new memories!

Turkey Day

I have no pictures to show for our Thanksgiving; I forgot my camera so I am trying to wait patiently for my brother-in-law to send them to me! We made the 13 hour trek up to Philadelphia to spend Thanksgiving with Brandon's family. His mom and brother drove over from New York. Brandon's uncle and grandfather live in Philly. We had a great time. The drive up was good but the kids were a little wired the whole time while being out of their routine. I know Uncle Gary was glad to get his peaceful house back! On Friday we went shopping without the kids which is always a treat! Saturday was the trek back to Atlanta and it was rough. An hour from leaving Carter got car sick and we were just all tired so we had to make lots of stops. It was nice to spend time with Brandon's family since we don't seem them much. Now we are gearing up for Christmas! Oh how I love this time of year! I just wish it were longer than a month!
