1,2,3,4, I declair a Toe War?

What do you do on a boring day at home??? Well, toe wars of course!

The girls were a bit bored this morning and were inventing things to do for fun. Among those, toe wars. It was very funny to watch. We were all laughing pretty hard. I love having daughters that are so close!

School Christmas Parties

This year, Bobby and I were both able to attend the girls school parties. It was nice and made the girls feel really special to have us both there.

Kendall's classroom had hot chocolate, and snow cones, decorating a candy bucket, making ornaments, candy, and bobbing for apples.....in popcorn! It was a lot of fun and really cute to watch the kids try so hard to get there apple.

Kaylen's class was a little more laid back. They made tiny gift baskets that held potpourri, had some cookies, and played Bingo with Hershey's kisses. They had a good time too.

Land of Lights

The girls really like looking at Christmas lights, and this year we got to take a trip with the Fullers and Christopher to the Land of Lights at Lake Rudolph. Kaylen, Kendall and Christopher all took turns reading the story that lead us along the path. It was so cute to hear them. They were all very good readers!

After the lights show, we headed out to Santa's Candy Castle. This was a first for us. We had some hot chocolate and the kids got to play with some fake snow before heading outdoors to try some chestnuts they roasted over an open fire. Kaylen was the only one that liked them. Everyone else thought they were pretty gross.

It was a lot of fun. A big thanks to Me'Chele for the pictures! (Sometimes, I feel like she's my personal photographer.) Love ya girl!

Snow-Ice Day: No School!

Because of the ice and snow we got last night, the girls were confined to the house most of the day. I'm sure most kids love winter snow days, but today I think Kendall must be over the whole 'cold' thing. She drew me this picture of Florida. I couldn't help but smile and giggle a little bit. I gave her a high-5 and told her I liked the way she thought. Come on summer time!!!!

Miss Kendall Noelle

Kendall LOVES music. She loves to listen to music, dance to music, and she loves to sing it too! She heard Happy Birthday Jesus by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir last year and worked very hard to be able to sing it alone with the soundtrack. She was so excited. She got a little nervous before we headed to church, but acted like a pro when she was called to come up to the Alter. I am so incredibly proud of her. She has a great heart and is often trying to help others. (She gets it from her Daddy, I must admit!) She truly has the love of Jesus in her heart. Watch out world. You ain't seen nothing yet!!!

Women's Ministry Christmas Party

I am really excited about all the things to come with our women's group! Our church has been going through a tough growing period, and we are now reaping all that has been sewn. I'm thankful for all the sisters I can count on for prayer and uplifting.

We had a TON of food this year. Pizza and breadsticks, and desserts galore. Who can follow a strict diet plan at a party????? I tried more than one treat, I will admit!

We had our annual ornament exchange, followed by the white elephant gifts. I'm always surprised at all the beautiful ornaments that are there. So many different styles and tastes. I love seeing everyone's personalities come out.

The white elephant exchange was hilarious!!!! I think we all agreed that the mannequin head won first prize. However, cat balls (toys that is), a blue duck, and a dead woman's jewelry were all top listers as well. We ended the evening playing a new game. You drew words out of a hat, and then on the spot had to sing a Christmas song that had that word in it. It's harder than you might think! We mixed it up after a while and made people sing as different characters. Such as Johnny Cash, Elvis, Bugs Bunny, and Barney just to name a few. It's been a while since I laughed that hard, for so long. Thanks for a great evening ladies!
