Twas Two Days Before Christmas

Merry Christmas 2010

Twas two days before Christmas and things were finally settling down.

We're just finishing up the truffles to deliver around.



So that is the end of the rhyme time but really we are just settling in after a whirlwind of a December. It's been good. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just about here. After thinking, talking and preparing for months Saturday morning will come and the day will be gone before we know it. This year we are looking forward to waking up in our own beds on Christmas morning and enjoying the day together as a family. The next week we are headed to Georgia to spend time with the Griffeth's (minus Wes, Lindsay, Nate and Ryan). We are all very excited!

The girls have been out of school this week, so we have tried to do a couple of fun things with them during their down time. We've gone ice skating, spent some time at the library, and Jeff took the 3 oldest to the movies last night. Most of all I think they have enjoyed not having a schedule and have enjoyed lounging around for a couple of days.

Adison is in full walk mode. It is so fun watching this little person walking around. Jeff and I can't believe how big she is getting. She is growing up WAY too fast. She loves being able to carry things around as she toddles around. She is also figuring out what she wants and does a pretty good job of communicating what it is via fits and tantrums.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Holiday Season

I love the holiday season. My kiddos love the holiday season. We love spending time with family and friends. We love all the excitement and extra activities that happen during this time of year.


We started out this year's holiday season by spending Thanksgiving in Indiana with Jeff's family. We had a great time and as usual were spoiled by the attention that everyone gave us. We always come home exhausted, but it is well worth it!

Bayley is always happy when someone will play her favorite game Monopoly with her...lucky Sydney.

The kiddos with Grandma Nancy and Papa Rick

Adison decided to take off while we were in Indiana...she still prefers crawling to walking, but she can put together a nice little stroll when she wants to.

Bayley's idea of bowling

Kendal and Trey loved bowling...Kendal proudly came in third behind Grandma Nancy and Jeff. In fact she will rattle off the scores if you ask her...she is one competitive girl.
Christmas came early and Grandpa Thornton's house

We visited Grandma Thornton at the nursing home and the kids loved the dog that is also a resident at the nursing home.

I have spent the majority of this week in catch up mode. I'm getting there though and looking forward to the next couple of weeks of Christmas activities.
