December Highlights!

1. We skipped the Christmas Tree Farm this year and opted for a beautiful tree from good 'ole Home Depot. It cost half the money and took half the time, which was great with me in the middle of finals!
2. Yes! We think we have the most amazing boys! At 5 and 6 they lifted the 7ft. tree a foot off the ground to carry it to the car! We love our little Supermen!
3. This was a mommy day out at the Woodlands pavilion with my guys! We went to the book store where they got to pick out a book and we had bagels and hot chocolate and rode the trolley (that looks like Percy from Thomas the train) it was a great day!
4. Making Christmas cookies with our friend Gianluca Maggiora, quite the ordeal with 3 little men, there was flour every where!
5. This is Braden's imitation of a transformer - Optimus Prime to be exact. Stage 1
Stage 2...
Stage 3
Stage 4, I love it when he does this, it gets better every time!

6. Braden's class Party, he got out first and the girls joined him shortly after and he said, 'hey I need a boy, there are to many girdles(that's how he says girls)'!
Braden out first, so lonely...
Braden and his teacher Mrs. McClanahan.
Braden and Nonnie(my Mom) making a 'candy can' for the tree.
7. Braden's School program, for those of you that don't know, his preschool program is at Spring Baptist Church. He's learned lots of 'interesting things' they sang 'Go tell it on the Mountain' with arm gestures and all, and they also sang 'Happy Birthday Jesus'. Very cute, very Baptist, with lots of Hallelujahs and Amens! But the teachers are great and really love the kids, and he has really enjoyed it.

Hey Nurse Mary, Congratulations on nursing school! We can't believe that you're a mom with kids as old as they are. They are really cool! Sounds like you're doing a terrific job as a wife and mother. We read every entry and loved learning about your family. You've been blessed. Thanks for sharing your blog address with us and for visiting ours. Love, Cousin Steve and Natalie
