I am so proud of John Thomas! He did so well during the Christmas program (yes, he brought tears to my eyes).
John edited out most of the songs except for John Thomas in the link below, enjoy!!!
**Note my boys moves during the end of the last song--hilarious**

2008 Christmas Pictures


Field Trip to Chick Fil A

SLC took a field trip to Chick Fil A yesterday to see Santa. This is about the 4th or 5th time John Thomas has seen him. Do you think he's over having his picture taken with him?? Notice he's the same one that was in our professional pics. He's a great Santa.

Christmas In Greenwood

Saturday morning we drove to my (Kella's) parents house to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents (Granddaddy and Ems), Uncles (Rick and Mac), Aunt (Lee Anne), and Cousins (Beth Anne and Ally Grace). We were celebrating today so John and I decided to eat a great lunch at Migs Sat. afternoon... Why can't they expand to Greenville? Then we went and did a little shopping while Grammie and Papa watched the boys. After a great dinner at Outback, Grammie and I started cooking for today. I was in charge of deviled eggs and a mandarin orange salad. The eggs were good, the orange thing that I've never made and will never again wasn't too great even though my nice family said they liked it. The boys were spoiled as usual, their favorite gift was Gator Golf, thank God it came with two clubs.

After presents, Bryson napped in my arms (doesn't happen often anymore so I soaked up every minute of it) and John Thomas made traffic and bridges for his new cars.
Obviously there was an accident on the bridge.

Bryson still trying to wake up.

After a long nap, the boys decided they wanted ice cream and turkey (ewwww) and then we headed back to Grammie and Papa's to pack up and head home. We love getting down to Greenwood and don't go enough, the boys love their Grammie and Papa, and would have stayed if they could have. Now we're home, the boys are in bed, I'm snuggled on the couch about to start reading Eclipse, and John is in heaven playing his new XBOX game courtesy of Ems.
Wasn't a gift but Bryson loved playing with Ems' candy canes.

Countdown To Christmas

14 Days To Go...



Last Saturday John and I took the boys to have breakfast with Santa. I wasn't sure how Bryson would react considering he wasn't fond of Santa during our pictures at Mitchell's. However, he got right up there and just talked to Santa and told him what he wanted for Christmas. John Thomas wasn't nervous at all, he understands that Santa is the man and he appreciates that. At breakfast they had facepainting, games, cookie decorating, etc... We had so much fun! This weekend we're off to Greenwood to have Christmas with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins! The boys can't wait, and neither can we. Lots of yummy food!!!
