Santa visit

My mom brought an advent treat to my house for the kids and hung them up in the kitchen. She had 25 bags for Elle and 25 for Jay---one for each day before Christmas. The kids have loved opening up a new present every day.

Santa stopped by our house the other night after school and paid the kids a visit. Elle was loving him. Jay was unsure at first but then he opened up and started talking to ole santa.

They got a gingerbread house kit and movies. Elle got Peter Pan and Jay got Mickey Mouse.

Meredith and I took the kids to historic downtown Hburg to see Christmas lights and go on a carriage ride. It was fun and a pile of crushed goldfish from these 4 angels was just an added bonus in my car!

Elle's dance class had parent observation day where we got to see what they've learned this year so far. They were so cute!

Thanksgiving 2013

The kids both had Thanksgiving programs at school last Friday. Jay was dressed in his outfit sitting up front acting great until I walked in the door. Saw me and had a total meltdown and wouldn't perform his songs. Kept telling me he wanted to go home!

After Jay's disaster, we went to Elle's class and watched her perform. They were so cute and she did great! I didn't get any good pics b/c I was wrestling with Jay trying to keep him in my lap!

They had a traditional Thanksgiving lunch after their performances. Jay ate his roll and Elle ate the turkey. My kids are not vegetable eaters so they weren't having any of that other food!

On Thanksgiving the kids and I went to the coast to have lunch with family. Josh headed north to Starkville to watch the Egg Bowl. Go dawgs!

I took Elle to the movies to see Frozen 3D. She loved all the snacks and the movie!

Sweet kids before church

We had our hanging of the greens church service last sunday night where the kids bring in all the christmas decorations and sing Christmas carols. Jay sat in my lap and kept yelling out "Elle" when he saw her walking down front.
