Christmas Party Fun

Christmas is always so eventful and we attended many different Christmas gatherings with our sweet friends. Here are a few pictures...


Before heading to the Hatchell's party...

The Evan's Christmas Party...

(Abby, Beth, Graycen, Myia)

Amy and I are on the "Good list"...

Karoline's cookie decorating party with her friends...

PreSchool Christmas

Karoline and Anderson had their preschool music program Wednesday. It was quite cute. Karoline took it very seriously and we practiced her songs a lot in the car and at home. She loves to be on stage. Anderson was just excited to see us in the audience! It was a very cute performance.

I know the lighting is not great on this pic but this is what Anderson did almost the WHOLE time! He kept waving at us and saying "Hi Mommy" "Hi Daddy" ... it was so cute!

Singing Gloria... trying really hard to open their mouths :)

Substitutes For Santa

Wellspring hosted a WONDERFUL event called Substitutes for Santa. We were able to give 85 children ranging from age 2- 16 a Christmas and share the love of Christ! Parents dropped them off at California Pizza where they were feed dinner, got to see Santa, and play games. Then we took them to Walmart where they were given a $100 gift card to pick out toys and necessities. It was such a great time and we were thankful for the opportunity to meet and provide for so many great children in the Grand Strand! TJ sadly missed the event because he was very sick, but maybe next year!

What To Do...

... On a COLD, RAINY day when it's almost Christmas?...

You build a Gingerbread House!!

This is one of my favorite things to do with my girl... not quite brave enough to invite Anderson in on the fun! :) Karoline and I had a blast decorating and she was quite happy with the results.

WAR EAGLE!

I feel like this football season has been a dream... CRAZY that we are 13-0 and all of those close games have pretty much giving me heart problems for probably the rest of my life! Haha! It's really been a fun ride and I HOPE we win the National Championship!

So needless to say we live in Gamecock country- Miss Danielle was a Gamecock cheerleader and Pastor Trey a Gamecock Alum as well, the kids teachers and most of their friends... Well, We are the ONLY people at our school in orange and blue but thankfully at church we have The Colquett's so we are not totally alone!

Every Friday the kids know we dress in our "Auburn Day" clothes for school and on Saturday night Karoline would always ask to wear an Auburn dress to church... I have some cute little tigers I might add!

Anderson... Where is Aubie?...

THERE HE IS!

Karoline wore her cheerleading uniform to school Friday before the SEC game...

A few hours after seeing Santa the Colquett's came over to watch the game. The kids had a blast together! Anderson was not really into having his picture taken but Alli, Karoline, and Sam are too cute!

Touchdown Auburn!

I was trying to get a picture of Anderson and he was not happy about my camera
so he went and got in the dog kennel! It was SO funny!

Well, January 10th is a long way away but that's just more days to pray we WIN, right!? Haha... I believe in Auburn and Love it!

If you have 4 minutes and 29 seconds to smile watch this video...

HoHoHo...

We went to The North Pole to see Santa this weekend (well maybe not but it FEELS like the North Pole in Myrtle Beach... 19 degrees tomorrow!) Gammy and Gandaddy joined us along with April, Alli and Sam (Mr. Eric had to work). I LOVE Bass Pro Shop because we wait all of about 15 minutes to see Santa.

The kids did great! No one cried and they actually told Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Anderson said he wanted a big train and Karoline said she wanted a Barbie and an Auburn National Championship... About the Championship, Santa said he didn't really want to give that to her but he just might have to! I think Santa was a Gamecocks fan.

After we ate lunch and then headed home for THE BIG GAME! Thankful our trip to The North Pole was a success!

Letter To Santa

Karoline is at such a fun age... she wants to write and draw ALL the time! On Thanksgiving Day she spent a lot of time writing her letter to Santa. She had such a fun time making her list and I think Santa will be able to deliver :)
