Wow..I have been a slacker!

We have had a fantastic January and now it is coming to an end! I am going to have to break the blogs up into different posts to be able to update with pictures and events!

For New Years we went to the mountains with Ben and Jason! We all had a great time. Scott loved being able to bake bread with Ben. It is very different then the way mommy bakes. Ben actually makes things from SCRATCH! Ahhh, it is a new world when you are with friends that can actually cook. It puts our frozen lasagnas and pizza to shame when we go on vacation. It was such a fun New Years weekend. We were all lazy, ate a lot and laughed even more. Good friends are so fun!

If you keep whining....

Today the kids were asked to get in the car so we could run and errand. Dave was locking the door and heard Scott frustrated with Anna. Dave heard "Anna, if you keep whining, I am going to pack my things up and move to a new home. That home will be house number 633!" Dave and I about lost it! It was soooo funny!

i know, it may not be as funny as it was when we heard it but MAN..that is comedy!

More updates to come. I have been LAZY!

Christmas Week in Pictures!

I am not sure I need to write a ton because they are all self explanitory! We had a wonderful Christmas week. Monday we decorated cookies at the Carolina Inn with Max, A-K and Maggie. Fun was had by all, as always! On Tuesday we had a low key day to get prepared for the big holiday! On Christmas Eve we headed to Wilson to play with all our cousins! We had so much fun! On Christmas morning we hung out here and opened presents and then headed to Holy Springs to hang out with the Rawles and Grammy and Papaw. It was awesome! Everyone had the best Christmas ever!

Pageant

We had the best time at the pageant this year. The church decided to move the date to the Sunday before Christmas and it made our life so much easier. It use to be on Christmas Eve so this was so much better. Another fun thing about this year was that Anna got to be in the pageant AND Scott wore his costume for the first time! This was his 3rd year in the pageant and he never ever wanted to wear the shepherd costume. We have come a LONG way!

I was so proud of the kiddos. Scott was a shephard again and Anna was an angel. The funniest part was that Anna started on the far left of the pageant and decided that she wanted to be in the middle. She looked down the line of Angels towards Mary and Joseph and proceeded to move her little self over to the middle. It was fantastic! I laughed so hard and loved it because Scott did the same thing in his first pageant. Anna knew all the words of the songs and was so cute with her little voice singing. Scott and Anna did the cutest job! We were very proud and loved every minute of it!

Chritmas parties, friends and suckers!

On Friday I went to Scott's school for his Holiday party. We had a great time decorating gingerbread houses and little gingerbread men. After Scott was finished with those things he decided to do some counting on the board. Scott was counting by 20s while other children were running around playing holiday games. Ahhhh, the joys of being Scott. Thinking counting is more fun then playing. Some things never change.

Then on Friday night Mr. Ben, Mr. Jason, and the Sayers came for dinner. Scott had the best time because Anna was at Grammy's so he had them all to himself. They always are so kind to Scott and Anna. I turned around and saw them reading to him near the Christmas tree. It was hard to get a good picture because Scott started acting silly when he saw me pull the camera out. They also brought Scott and Anna HUGE suckers! How can those presents not be a big hit! Fun was had by all!
