Winter Fun!

 So many things happening this winter. We got a snow day! Lots of winter activities keep us busy after school!


Right after Christmas, we celebrated Sarah's 39th bday!

New Year's Eve with friends....

Beau enjoying some black-eyed peas...

Ms. Sandra came over for some peas too and beat Corban at checkers!

Every night we turn on the fireplace, Beau makes himself comfy...

AK has really enjoyed the winter lax clinics....

Upward basketball has begun and C is having a ball!




AK loves youth group at church on Wednesday nights...


Mid January we got some snow that we could actually play in!













Social Studies project fun.....

Anna Kate's cheer team had their conference competition and they won!!










We celebrated the 100th day of school!

Sweet friends....

Beau really knows how to make himself comfortable!

AK had the opportunity to go to a weekend retreat with our church youth group called Winter Escape. She had a blast!


Happy V-day!!


Christmas 2021

We had such a wonderful holiday season.....so much to be thankful for! Lots of fun activities leading up to Christmas....


Our elves (Kit-Kat and Hershey) returned on Nov. 30...


Getting Christmas trees ready!




We are officially fully vaccinated!


Corban had the coolest opportunity just before Christmas. Back in 2nd grade, he wrote a book about his favorite ECU QB, Holton Ahlers. His teacher was determined to get the book to Holton (who went to the same elementary school- Chicod). Lots of time passed and we were never able to make it happen. Finally, Bryant was able to arrange a meeting! It's something I hope Corban never forgets!




An exciting Sunday morning...haha!
Our church hosted a really cool interactive experience called Journey Through Bethlehem....



Pancakes with Santa at the fire station....

Quick trip to Busch Gardens Christmas Town!




Always my favorite Christmas decoration....

Yum!

Mike's Farm fun with friends....








AK's winter chorus concert....

An excited little elf on the day we got out for Christmas break....


We took Pa for a milkshake and to look at Christmas lights....

On Christmas Eve, when we leave for church, our elves leave a candy bar and note that their magic is lifted for one last night.....the kids always look forward to this!

Santa came!!!!

















Corban realized he gets to go to the Military Bowl to cheer on the Pirates!
Spring break = Bahamas!!


Beau had given out of holiday cheer...haha!



We woke up the morning after Christmas to head to Annapolis, MD to cheer on the Pirates!

We made it to VA only to find out the game had just been canceled due to Covid issues....ugh!!!

We decided to head to Shortpump and shop....Dr. Pepper and math facts made things a little better for this heartbroken Pirate!

....and a lottery ticket....

....and a trip to Sawyer's fun park!
