Christmas 2009

Santa under the tree

Poor Viley just isn't a morning person!

Lu super excited about her Little Pet shops

the girls with Gan and Pod

I just love this pic!

It is really taking me a while to get our blog up to date! Here are some pics made the weekend of Christmas. Not a crazy Christmas very simple...started with church on Christmas Eve and then lots of food. While we were getting breakfast ready Christmas morning Lu said "wow, this is all for Jesus birthday?!" So nice to know she really does understand what the REAL purpose is all about! It was so nice to have Jason home for 4 days and my parents come up to spend the weekend with. The girls were so fun and enjoyed all their new things.

Breakfast with Santa

Pics from our Santa breakfast-Viley wanted NO part of the man! Lu on the other hand gave him an ear full!

Thanksgiving 2009

AGHHH! I just realized I never finished this post! Here are some pics from Thanksgiving at my cousins! We had a blast!

Christmon tree

Lu helping Mrs.Tinker(her teacher) with the tree

Sunday afternoon we went to our church to help with the Christmon tree.  Our class is responsible for putting it up, decorating and taking down.  This is our families first year to help and we all had a great time with all the families.  I didn't get as many photos and they were still working with the lights when we left.  Hopefully, I'll get a finished photo during the holidays!  We feel so blessed to be a part of our church here and have been truly welcomed with open arms.  Moments like these remind us that our time in Charlotte is part of God's plan and we are so thankful for the new friends we have in our lives during this season.  Happy Advent!

Advent breakfast

Today we attended our advent breakfast for church and this is one of the photos taken.  Go ahead and laugh-it is a bad picture of us all!  Lu wasn't really in the mood, Viley didn't want  to dress up and wanted take baby Jesus with us, Jason fell asleep and I just am laughing!  I love days and moments like this!  

Panther's game

Jason and I had some adult fun with the Cook's this past Sunday.  We went to the Panthers/Falcons game.  This was my first NFL experience!  It was fun and I am amazed we tailgated, went to game and got home in 6 hours total!  

Outside fun!

Here are a few pics of the girls outside, as always having fun!

We had a blast at Bennet's party-very fashionable!  Her birthday is two days after Lu's and they really enjoy each other plus she lives in our neighborhood!
