Deck the Halls

I LOVE Christmas. I love the songs, decorations, cheer, and all the chaos that comes along with it. My neighbor's nine year old daughter told me I was a little creepy because I have 3 Christmas trees! I just can't help it, I love Christmas! Because of that, and the fact that we are traveling for Thanksgiving, I like to enjoy my decorations early. The house seems so cozy and inviting with the tree covered in ornaments and all the lights on. On Sunday, we decided to get a start on the decorating. I had seven little helpers, including several of our neighbors kids. They had a great time, and my tree is VERY heavily decorated, from about 4 feet down! Too cute! I haven't had the heart or the time to re-decorate the bottom, and they think it looks perfect!

On Monday, I took pictures of my niece in front of the tree, and Drew was my helper. He decided that he wanted to be silly with the Santa hat and was SO cute! I had to share his silliness in these photos! I am going to have at least one, probably two, little clowns on my hands! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Deck the Halls!!! Now lets get ready for Thanksgiving!

Homecoming

Last weekend was Ashley's 10 year college reunion at The Citadel. We rented a beach house with 8 other adults and 6 other children. The house was perfect, and there was tons of room to spread out. The kids had a ball playing together! Here are a few photos from the weekend.

Last weekend we tried desperately to get some good pictures of the boys together. Jack was very cooperative, but the other boys were not. Drew was tired and did not want to have his picture taken. Davis was silly as usual!

Jack's new glasses

Today we picked up Jackson's new glasses. They are so cute, and he said that everything looks big and bright now! I'm so glad that he can see now.

Happy Halloween!

The boys had fun trick-or-treating. Of course, their favorite part was eating candy. We went to a neighbor's house for a great Halloween party. The kids had so much fun, and we adorable in costume! Some of the parents dressed up too! It was great. Here are some highlights...

Davis's Halloween Party

Davis had a Halloween party at school yesterday. The kids put on a show for the parents and preformed 4 songs, dancing away on stage! Davis decided he after the first song that he wanted no part of that, which suprised us all, as his teacher says he is the "star dancer" and LOVES to dance. He has decided to give up his naps, and this is posing a challenge for us all, and he is incredibly cranky! I think this is why he decided not to participate. He did cheer up when he had time to play with his best buddy, Buzz Lightyear. They even got to swing at a pinata. Too cute! The woman in the picture with the boys is Davis's assistant teacher. He adores his teachers!
