Santa Knows!

We got to go see Santa last week and had a great evening of it! This Santa was awesome and knew all about the toys the kids were telling him that they wanted. He also knew all about our "Elf" at home (more to come on him later!). He was very genuine and the best part was no line!

Our Elfie brought a gingerbread house for the kids to decorate this weekend while we were at home with Paxton being so sick. We never go for "pretty" but more for the fun look. Josh always loves to make fun of my icing skills but hey, I think it turned out cute, in a fun sort of way!
At least I can put it together, right?

So I can't ice ok?

Paxton's side was very patterned and well organized.

Lorelei's side was very decorated!

Ta-dah!!

Christmas Performances!

In between being really sick with asthma attacks and bronchitis, Paxton has been busy doing some awesome Christmas performances at school. First up was his class play on Wednesday. This year Paxton was the dad telling the "kids" the true reason and story of Christmas. He had two lines and did awesome! Really, I could not have asked for a better performance from him and the class- well done and so cute!

Little Miss Christmas before the show. Have to get there early for good seats at his school!

Grandmama and Lorelei looking over the program.

Signing so nicely!

He spoke clearly and didn't mess up at all!

Second set of lines.

Silent Night.

Thanks to Lala, Pam, Von, Grandmama, Lorelei, Daddy and Mommy, Paxton had a whole row to watch him!

Dr. Hensley, Paxton's awesome music teacher telling him how great he did!

After two hours at the doctor's office yesterday evening, pumping the poor kiddo full of medications to help him feel better, Paxton woke up full of energy this morning and ready for his piano recital (multiple doses of steroids will do that!). Paxton has been taking piano lessons this year at school and doing a fabulous job. His teacher says he has lots of talent for someone his age, he gets that from his daddy! Paxton played Away in a Manger and didn't mess up at all again, another amazing performance my man!

Santa was the emcee. This show was the first of three different performance from the School of Performing Arts/Music today.

I thought he was going to play on his knees like this but he did sit down to actually play. Don't know what happened with the picture quality of my camera in these few shots.

The 9:00 am performers today.

Paxton and his piano teacher, Mr. Owens.

Pink and Furry

Just wanted to share come cute pictures of my pink and furry little girl! So thankful for her!!

Gobble! Gobble!

Lorelei says Gobble Gobble and we all say a Happy Thanksgiving to all! We had a wonderful day with our family this Thanksgiving day! It was so relaxing and nice to be near home this year. Lorelei wanted us to all go around the table and say what we were thankful for, she was thankful for "Mommy!" Ahh, my sweet little girl, just love her and my big boy so much! God has blessed my family and I am so grateful and thankful to Him!

The kiddos are headed back over to Grandmama and Grandaddy's house tonight for a little spend the night party. This mama and daddy are going to do some big time Black Friday shopping-woohoo! Now for some sleep before the big day!

My handsome men!

Look who's in the kitchen?! Grandaddy and Grandmama fixed a wonderful Thanksgiving Spread!

Just lovely!

Some after dinner cuddles with Lala.

Now for some Angry Birds game time!

Showing Lala how to play on the Ipad.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

This is HALLOWEEN!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! Ok, so you would have had to been at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party to get that one, but it still fits. This year I had a little Peacock and a scary Pirate! Lorelei has traditionally always been a Disney character but this year we found this Peacock costume and thought it was adorable! Paxton is ever so scary in as a Pirate this year. Like his beard? Daddy drew in on with my mascara, yeah, I wasn't the one who suggested that, thankfully the waterproof mascara came off his face nicely!
We had a full day on Halloween this year. We spend the afternoon at the neighborhood Halloween party then we headed to our church for some Trunk or Treat and then of course finished the night off Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. Yes, we have so much candy, we don't know what to do!
Trunk or Treat was fun but really hot this year since it was in the afternoon. We always have fun seeing all the kids' friends and fun costumes. Lorelei and Paxton got to trunk or treat with their bff's Maren and Beckham so we had a great time!

It's a Peacock, most people did pretty good guessing what she was this year.

What do you do with a scurvy Pirate?

Make him walk the Plank!

Nice beard!

I want candy!

What a great "Trunk."

They got goldfish in this "whale"

Love this! The Davis Family as the cast of Peter Pan

Lorelei and her girlfriends.

Maren's mom says that Lorelei and Maren are twins separated at birth, they are so much alike!

Some scary skeleton's and Pirates!
