Henry's Christmas Program

Henry did so good at his Christmas Program! He doesn't look too excited in the pictures, he was just taking it all in! He was so cute why he was standing up on stage, he kept waving at us sitting out in the congregation. He was really suprised that his Gran Jan was there! She had called me that morning at 8 and said that she was going to come to his program at 11. We were all glad to have her here to spend the day with us! She came back to the house and played with Henry while I was able to clean the house. It was so nice! I wouldn't know what to do if she actually lived in town!

The boys Chrstmas List

Walker's Christmas List

Well yeah, this is Walker's Christmas list. A dirt bike, 3,000 bux (bucks), and a Wii. Wow, Wow, Wow! He has added to the list but he wrote it at school and I do not have that copy. That list consist of the same three things, 8 puppies, a reindeer, a DS, a red bike, and a real hamster. So needless to say Santa can't bring most of the things on his list. Eric and I just think that this is too funny.
Henry's list consist of a 4 wheeler bike scooter, (whatever in the world that is), a puppy, power ranger, a snake, and food. His list is a little easier for Santa. They are getting pretty darn excited about Christmas! It is going to be so fun this year!

Visit with Santa

This year we went to Bass Pro Shop to visit Santa. It was amazing! First of all, there is no lines. You get a pass and you can walk around the store until they call your time and then you just walk up and they are waiting for you....Awesome. Second of all, there is so much to do in the store, we stayed in the store for 3 hours just looking and playing with things. Third of all, it is free! At the mall you are going to spend at least 25 dollars for a picture, not here it's free! We will definitely go here from now on. The boys did great with Santa! They were awesome! He was the Real Santa!!!!!

Thomas our Elf

This is our elf, Thomas. He is awesome to have around at christmas time! He flies to santa every night to report how the boys are behaving. He flies back sometime during the night and we have to go hunt for him every morning to find what crazy place he has landed. It is so much fun! Thomas likes to make a mess alot of the time. The day he got in my sugar bowl bugged me a little because I couldn't clean it up until the next day when he was in a new location. The first thing the boys do is go find Thomas when they get out of bed. We are going to miss him when he leaves us in a few days! He will be back next year!

Oops forgot these cute pics!

More pics of our visit with Tommy

Chris, Elizabeth and little Tommy Visit!!!!

We had such a fun visit with our friends Chris, Elizabeth and Tommy. They live in D.C. and Elizabeth had a meeting here in Atlanta. They stopped by and spent a day and night with us. We just hung around the house and enjoyed visiting with them. We wish we lived closer so that we could do this more often. They boys had so much fun playing with little Tommy. They broke Tommy in right. By the end of the visit, Tommy knew all about a light sabre. They all loved playing with the musical instruments. At one point all of us including the adults had to play an instrument, man was it loud. He is such a cute kid and a joy to be around! He is as sweet as he looks! The boys are sitting in here with me now as I post this and Walker just said, "I love tommy". How sweet! We can't wait to visit with them again!

Decorating our tree

We had so much fun decorating our tree. It seems that every year when we pull out our christmas lights for the tree most of the strands do not work. How is that possible. So we had to make a trip to our local Ace about 5 minutes before they closed to get more lights. They all worked and our tree looks beautiful. They boys love pulling out the ornaments and hearing the story behind each of them. My tree has no rhyme or reason but I can tell you where every single ornament came from or who it is from. They all have a special story that I love. I just love this time of year and all the traditions that we do as a family! I will post a pic of our tree in my Christmas post coming soon.....
