A Christmas Performance

EG's preschool put on a Christmas performance for the parents today. EG told me they practiced A Lot and it showed because they did a Great job!

The show started with the 4 year olds.

Busy, busy, busy....

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post....We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a house full of friends and family. It was perfect. We, just like everyone else, have been busy this holiday season. This weekend was no exception...we started off the weekend activities Saturday afternoon when we went over to the Dean's to decorate Christmas cookies.

Our hostess, Miss April and the lovely Ashlyn.

Our host, Mr Pete.

And the handsome Preston. He was all sugared out :)

Abigail and I were on "Santa Chef Hat" duty.

Once the hats were done, Abigail was off to help mix up the frosting for the cookies.

Thank you Dean Family, we had a blast!

Sunday morning we hit the road at 730. We were headed to Montgomery for the National Guard family day/Christmas celebration. Mrs Parker (Abigail's teacher) and her two little girls rode with us. It was a fun ride listening to the girls chatting and getting to know each other.

This is Miss Jaycee. Soooo sassy!

This is Miss Rhylee. Not so sassy.

The girls hit the arts and crafts table right away. I took pictures and let Mrs Parker help them with the glitter gluey projects :)

Arts and crafts were fun but the girls really enjoyed climbing all over the Blackhawks.

EG was all over it!
Photobucket

So was Miss Abigail!
Photobucket

The three of them ready for take off.

Little Miss Sassy Pants was sure she was gonna get that thing started and take off. She actually had pilots briefing her on the equipment...and she WAS listening! I'm certain she would have fired it up if she could have found a key!
Photobucket

We can't forget about Santa.

EG wasn't too sure so Abigail carried her over.
Photobucket

Then she was talking Non-stop!
Photobucket

And Abigail turned into the kid who didn't want her picture taken.
Photobucket

Merry Christmas!

November hike

The girls and I were going stir crazy this afternoon so we decided to head out for an afternoon hike.

We chose Beaver Lake. (Sweet Abigail blocking the sun from getting in EG's eyes)
Photobucket

All smiles and ready to go!
Photobucket

They were examining everything...and showing it to me.

This little guy would not sit still long enough for us to get a picture. Abigail had to lift his branch up, and then down, several times for me to get one blurry shot.
Photobucket

Look more berries!
Photobucket

And flowers.

Photobucket

This bridge marked the 1/2 way point.
Photobucket

Tadpoles and guppies.
Photobucket

Ahhhh finally, the lake.

Oh, and the playground!
