oh, Uncle Kyle

 Hannah and Hunter were so glad to see Uncle Kyle again while we were in SC. Hunter likes to tell him he can come back and live with us if he wants to. He even told him he could bring Sam and Fancy.

I am happy that I finished this book today. It was so good. I am sure I will reference it many times. I would encourage all of my mom friends to read it.

church, movies and legos

 This morning Derrick and I went to church with Papa and Great Papa. Hunter spent the night with Nana and Papa last night so he would be sure to be at church on time to see Mrs. Laura. Hannah spent the night with Mattison and Sophia and went to church with them. After church we had lunch and then headed to the movies. Derrick and I went to see Catching Fire and the kids went with Mike and Nene to see Frozen. Derrick and I made an after noon of it and had a little coffee to end our date afternoon.

 Hunter could not wait any longer to build with his new Lego's.

SC Christmas #3

 Happy Birthday, Great Papa!

 We had a nice visit with Aunt Carol and Uncle Roy.

Derrick said Hunter is a compact kid. How many 4 1/2 year old kids can still fit so nicely in a highchair?

Merry Christmas

I think the pictures show what a fun day we had. 

I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas 2012! Hannah loved making this card.

 Tinsel had to stay here for two days. Tonight she will ride a reindeer back to the North Pole.

 After the Christmas Eve service at church we went to the Sumner's for dinner and fun.

 Hunter loves to play with Luke.

 The kids loved playing pictionary, Christmas edition.

 We all had a great time. Thanks for having us Sumner's!

We had to get home and get in the bed so Santa could come. Can't wait to see what he brings!

all done

 Now I am officially on break. I still have report cards and lesson plans to do, but those can wait until closer to Jan. 6.

Christmas 2011.

happy

 Tinsel must have disturbed the army men.

 I could just eat him!

After small group tonight the kids did Christmas with each other. We missed the Bryant's but were glad they could Skype in with us for bible study.

I have the best family

 Thanks to Derrick, Hannah and Hunter my room looks much better. I spent all day at school and they all were with me most of the day. I will go back Monday and finish up. I just want it completely ready before Christmas so I can enjoy the rest of my break and not have to have it on my mind.

 Christmas 2009. This is probably my favorite card we have done so far.
