Valentine's Day Fun

We had a fun Valentine's Day! I surprised Jason with Dave Matthews tickets that morning, and John and Elizabeth each had a fun book, new cups and treats when they woke up. I had a great morning at school with my 20 cuties, and they brought me the sweetest surprises and even presented me with a class book they had made for me! I left at 11:30 to go to John and Elizabeth's school to help with his party. Boss and I had fun serving his sweet class lunch, and watching them exchange Valentines. Elizabeth's little class enjoyed cookies Boss had made for them, too. We had a fun family dinner together that night...a sweet day to celebrate each other!

Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful New Year's at home...so far the year has gotten off to a busy and great start!

Christmas 2012

We have had a wonderful month of Christmas fun...and a great Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! We've celebrated the birth of Baby Jesus, made cookies, enjoyed parties, sang songs, opened gifts, eaten too much good food, slept a little extra (yea!) and enjoyed being with family and friends. We hope you've had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas and we are looking forward to a very happy New Year!

Our Elf on a Shelf

We had a special package arrive tonight-our very own Elf on a Shelf! John and Elizabeth loved opening their surprise, hearing the story and thinking of a name for him. The also LOVED the Elf on a Shelf DVD-it was precious! We could only touch him tonight as he arrived-never again after that.

Meet "Howie," our very own scout elf!

Thanksgiving 2012

We started our week off by a trip to Memphis to visit family, shop and play a bit. We took John and Elizabeth to the Children's Museum and had a great time! The mini Kroger was their favorite-they looked like they were on the old tv show "Supermarket Sweep!"

We spent Thanksgiving at our house. It was such a great day, and John and Elizabeth had the best time playing outside this afternoon in the beautiful weather.

In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:18 We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
