Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve with my parents and it was so much fun. The kids had a great time opening their presents from one another and giving Marmie and Papa the presents they had made for them. After present opening was over we all headed to the basement to play the Wii...FUN was had by ALL!!!


Claire got her very first purse!


The boys ripping open their presents to see what was inside.

Cute Faces

My girl makes some of the cutest face and these are just a few.

Lights, Camera, Action.....

WIGGLES!

The Wiggles came to Greenville, SC so I had to take WP to see them. He was so excited and had a great time dancing and singing...but was very sad that he didn't get to talk to them.

He even played along with Murray and Anthony.



Claire, it will be your turn next time!

Sweet Claire

IS INTO EVERYTHING!


AND wants to do EVERYTHING her big brother can do!

Fall Fun

Fall was fun this year. It started out with a trip to the pumpkin patch with WP's preschool class. We had a fun time going on a hayride, seeing all the farm animals and picking out our pumpkins. WP made sure that we had a daddy, mama, brother and sister pumpkin. A few days before Halloween we carved two of the pumpkins. WP just watched after he saw what was inside...he didn't want to have to touch "that gooky stuff". On Halloween we headed to our church for a fall festival with WP as a cowboy and Claire as the sweet little girl that she is.

Claire's ONE

We celebrated Claire's first birthday with our families in South Carolina. She had a fun time watching all her cousins but wasn't brave enough to get in the middle of all the playing.

Just Catching Up

WOW! I didn't realize how long it has been since my last post. I have LOTS of catching up to do...so much I don't know where to start. I guess I will start with saying goodbye to Stephen in mid October as he headed off to Afganistan for awhile.

This last picture brings tears to my eyes. WP had a really hard time saying goodbye to his daddy after three days of saying goodbye and then Stephen coming back home because the plane was delayed.
