Preschool Musical at Church!

Christmas at Grandma Bobbie's House!

This was Ella's way of setting the table.

This is my new FAVORITE picture of Ella.

These are all of the gifts Ella received at Grandma Bobbie's house! I couldn't capture a picture of Carson's gifts! They were open and scattered everywhere!

For the first year, Grandma Bobbie had all of her grandchildren at her house for a preChristmas celebration. Last year we attempted, but Ella was very sick. We traveled to her house Friday after school. We had a wonderful dinner on Saturday, and then it was the time Carson had been waiting so long for... PRESENTS! My children received lots of wonderful gifts! Carson was so thankful for everything! We headed home late Saturday night because Brian had to work on Sunday.

I LOVE MY JOB!!!!

19 days...20 hours...10 min...5 secs...TIL CHRISTMAS, and We Celebrated At Hollywild!

This is the first year in MANY years that we have visited Hollywild to look at the Christmas lights. It sure had changed a lot since our last visit. We loved being able to get out of the car and visit Santa's Village. Unfortunately, we experienced the same response to Santa. Oh well... there's always next year!
