~Merry Christmas 2008~

With their eyes all aglow, the kiddos have waited and waited and it's finally time to tear into those presents! We are so blessed to have three beautiful, healthy children. It is so exciting every year to experience Christmas thru their eyes. The wonder and happiness is the best gift a mom can get!

Jaron took his time with each gift.

Mikayla's favorite Olympian!

Parent's Night at Footnotes

This was our first parent's night at the dance studio with Marcey. We got to come into the studio with her to see what she has learned in her tap and ballet classes so far this year. It was so fun to watch. She was just precious!

A visit with Santa

Jaron and Marcey went to visit Santa. This was Marcey's first time on Santa's lap. She was a bit shy at first. She told him what she wanted for Christmas, but really wasn't sure about sitting with him. Jaron, on the other hand, hopped right up and rattled off a list of things he wants. After seeing that her brother was safe with Santa, Lu got up there for a photo too.

~Blythewood International Christmas Parade 2008~

Tis the season to go to parades! The marching band performed in the Blythewood parade on Sunday afternoon. So, we grabbed a bite after church and set up camp on the side of the road and waited for the show. It was a lot of fun! As usual, the band was awesome!
