Happy December!

I love this month! It's been a great December so far. We started it off picking out our Christmas tree, I turned 30 on the 10th, we've already had 3 inches of snow, and best of all-we get to spend lots of time with our favorite people, our friends and family. We'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We are so blessed by the people in our lives!


Snow Day! Bonnie helped me make EggNog Creams (cookies) to share at the Tom Joy Christmas Project Wrapping Party. I think her new favorite activity is washing her hands.
We also made gingerbread men and ginger 0h-snaps! after school one day.

Bubby and me on my birthday

Greatest girlfriends of all time-we had so much fun in downtown Franklin on my birthday!

My favorite Christmas Party-our friends have a silly gift exchange every year, and it is always so much fun. This year it was at Erin's new house, and the gift exchange was memorable once again!
Sam's Junior Christmas Party-Will is standing by to help Sam with his new toy!

Best attempt at a semi-group shot: no one is looking, and two of the kids are not even in the frame!
Bonnie is helping Will open his gift. She has been chomping at the bit to open a present!

Poor Corduroy ended up swimming in Duke's water bowl :(

Merry Christmas to all......and to all a good night!

The Christmas Program

We're so lucky to have such a great day care for Bonnie. Last night was their Christmas Program, and it was so much fun. All of the kids from infants to Pre-K participated with their own songs, and they didn't think twice about getting up in front of the crowd and performing. They do a really great job of keeping each act quick and the action moving. Here's the toddler class's performance. Bonnie is in the green dress, and I wish I could have gotten a better angle on it. I didn't want her to see me, though. I also didn't get a really sweet part where each of the kids carried a present down the aisle to put under a Christmas Tree for charity. It was really cute, but here's what I did get...

Enjoy!
