The weekend after Thanksgiving we were able to get together with my girls that I have know for 30+ years. We grew up together and I am so thankful we still get a chance to see each other a few times each year....
Our group has grown quite a bit!
We got in a sweet visit with Granny Joyce. We love to hear her play!
We were so excited to get our Christmas tree up and decorated. We got a 10 foot tree this year......
and then we had to cut about 3 ft off of it to get it back up!
Kit-Kat returned for the month of December!
Everybody helped decorate at Nanny's
We had our sweet friends over for dinner and instead of exchanging gifts this year....we chose to make care packages for soldiers. We all really enjoyed this!
Our sweet nanny had a hospital stay for a terrible kidney infection. She and Pa may bicker a lot but they sure do love each other.....
We had some sweet friends from church over to make gingerbread houses!
Just before Christmas we headed to Busch Gardens for Christmas Towne! We love this tradition!
We got back just in time for the Christmas Eve service at Covenant
The kids always look forward to getting home after the service to see if Kit-Kat is ready to head back to the North Pole. She leaves them a note saying her magic has been lifted and they can hug her good-bye....she also leaves them Kit-kats and they give her glow sticks from our service.....
Making cookies for Santa with daddy!
Santa came!!
More presents with Mimi, Papa, and Uncle Jay!
The best surprise was a trip Mimi and Papa gave everyone. Mimi had it planned perfectly! The kids opened one gift at a time that lead them to clues about where we are going!
Disney!!!!
Mimi also wrapped special surprises for the ship and fun excursions!!
We celebrated with Bryant's side a few days after Christmas....
We got to visit with our Apex and Pittsboro friends after Christmas!!
