It is Christmas Eve!
The younger kids are excited and full of energy.  Grandma and Grandpa will be comming over this evening for our Christmas time together.  We always enjoy the eevening!

Our December has been FAST!  At the begining of the month Savanna, Brook, Ryleigh and I went to New Market, VA to visit with Kim Yeatts and Debbie Hunt (as well as Sadie, Esther and Mikayla) at their parents cabin.  It was a short time, but we all enjoyed the get away.

 

 

 

It was the weekend of my Birthday and we came home to surprises from Crystal, Cindy, Zack, Matthew and Steve.  Decorations, Dinner, cake and pie, and new curtains!!  I was very spoiled!

 

We plowed through with schooling and are now taking our Christmas Break.  Our time of working at Classical Conversations is on break too, as well as swimming and Awana.  :)

 

Always Lego activity happening!

 

We watched the Drown's dogs one weekend.  We brought Molly over to see how she and Max got along.  Molly was definately the boss! 

 

I tend to find random pictures on my camera!  ;)
