Predators Game

We went to the game because our neighbor and good friend Bailey was scheduled to skate with his team in between periods. Christian was excited about the game, but even more so to see his friend down there too.

Above are Robby and Lori and below is sweet Cooper

all the little hockey players

our Bailey

This was my first game of the season and it was fun to be there w/ my boys

Baylor had her own night of fun...Mim took her to see "The Princess and the Frog" for her birthday. She said she really liked it and I guarantee she had more fun there than she would have had at the hockey game

New Years at Mam-ma's

We ended the year with lunch at Mam-ma and Pap-pa's house. We normally try and go right after Christmas, but that didn't work into peoples schedules this year. We enjoyed a big lunch and of course some yummy desserts...Baylor is showing off her chocolate mouth.

The kids had a couple presents waiting for them

Mam-ma picked out some cool stuff, so she deserved a big hug

Baylor with her Ariel doll

It doesn't take much to see where we get our youthful faces from:)

At the beginning of the month the entire 1st grade sang at the lighting of the Nolensville tree.

Afterward there was cookies and hot chocolate to eat while the mayor read "The Night Before Christmas"

He waited so patiently for his turn to talk to the big man

a few days later our neighbors came over to play for the evening (their mommy and daddy went out for a Christmas party) and I couldn't resist snapping this picture

Bailey showing off his Silly Bands that we gave him as an early Christmas present

Christmas Program 2009

I love that little face

The Christmas program was a s cute as ever. It doesn't matter how many times I've heard the songs--they make me smile

"and spread Christmas cheer"

"Rock the baby, rock, rock the baby....baby Jesus"

We love our Mrs. Dele!!! That school is full of talented women, but I'm so glad her and Christian have had the same teachers:)

When Mrs. Dele asked "Who we should talk to before we eat?" Our daughter screams out "SANTA!!" I promise she knows better

Baylor must have good stem hands:) She was the stem on the pumpkin AND the Christmas tree

She loved her Snow White mirror...Thank you Laney

Tex & KayKay came to watch...Daddy was there too but we forgot to take his picture before he left for work

She made a picture of baby Jesus for us to display...now I have one from each of my kiddos

Christian had his class party on their last day of school. We did it in the morning and had all sorts of yummy foods: sausage balls, doughnut holes, pigs in a blanket, fruit, milk and juice.


While other kids had free play, my little reader just wanted to sit

the kids did a book swap for their gift to each other

It's so much fun having some of your best buds in class with you.
