Santa Success

Last week we took our annual trip to visit Santa at Lenox. We were unsure how the children would react to jolly ole St. Nick, seeing that last year Jane was terrified and karate chopped poor Santa to bits while getting her picture made. What a delightful surprise that both Jane and Charlie loved Santa this year. Thank goodness! Adding to the fun was having both sets of grandparents with us!

Baby Jesus and the Angel

We had a fun Christmas event at our church a couple of weeks ago. Pastor Tom read the Christmas story while the children acted out the scenes. Our very own Charlie was baby Jesus and thankfully was a very good one (I feared we might have a whiny Jesus on our hands!). Jane was an angel and was in her element dancing to all of the Christmas carols. It was a sweet night and a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

Jane's Third Birthday

Our little Jane turned three on November 28...the day after turkey day this year. We started the day with birthday pancakes and presented the bday girl with a scooter...so excited! After a visit to the Pressley farm she was not exactly ready to party hardy. Pooped and worn out. Nevertheless, we had a small cupcake celebration at my parents. Happy Birthday sweet Jane! You are such a delight!

Thankful!

We spent Thanksgiving Day at Mimi and Pop's with Charles and the Perkins. The table was beautifully decorated and lots of good food was consumed (thanks, Jeff, for a great smoked turkey!)...so much to be thankful for this year!
