Getting all ready for Christmas!

I'm so thankful that I have this blog to look back on. Life is a whirlwind most days and my memory seems to be getting worse by the day! We have had so much fun as a family getting ready for Christmas. Parties, Christmas programs, Busch Gardens, gingerbread house and more!!


Anna Kate had uneven bars on her Christmas list. Daddy decided this would be better! She is outside on the bar everyday!

One of my sweet little boys invited Mrs. Link and I to his Christmas program!

Corby's Christmas program...

Corban's Christmas party ...

AK's teacher had different stations set up for their party. Mimi got to go help!

A sweet little friend gave AK an ornament for Christmas...

We had an event at church where we were able to make an advent wreath together....

We started a gingerbread house decorating tradition a few years ago with some friends from church...

We got to go to the Greenville Christmas parade with Braden.....

We got to visit the Polar Express and watch the movie in Morehead.....We also got to sit on Santa's lap!

A really FUN Busch Gardens trip!!

Breakfast at Yoders.....

 Followed by a fun park day!

Christmas 2016 coming next!!

Gymnastics and JDRF

We have gotten to attend the JDRF walk in Raleigh with Team Kade since his diagnosis 2 years ago.

We had a lot of fun! I didn't get many pics during the walk but Kade had a great team with him. After the walk the kids get to do a lot of fun stuff!

AK had her first gymnastics meet recently and did a great job!!

Abby had a violin concert that we got to go to. She did great!

Christmas Card Photos

We are in full swing getting ready for Christmas with lots of parties, shopping and Christmas family traditions. My assistant's daughter came to our house one afternoon and got some great shots of the kids!

Halloween and other extras

We had a hurricane just before Halloween.........and NO this is NOT Corban's Halloween costume. This is called stir crazy and no boy dress up!

Soon after Corban had a birthday party to go to so we ordered one extra of the gift we gave. Now we have at least one boy dress up!

We celebrated Halloween with a couple of fall festivals and fun dressing up as Raggedy Ann and Andy (thank you Aunt Carol and Mrs. Betty for another year of great costumes!).

The kids were in the WITN costume contest. We didn't win but had a fun time!!

Corban loves a glass bottle Pepsi!

Corban got to go to an indoor pool birthday party and had a ball!

We also got to attend another Fall festival at Braden's church....

Silly Beau!!
