Wow..it's been awhile. 

Maggie running towards me. 

Our first and only game this season.  We got to tailgate with some of our neighbors. 

After seeing the drummers at the game, Isaac decided he needed some practice. 

Crystal, Clint, and Lilianne came up a few days before Thanksgiving.  Isaac and Lilianne enjoyed reading together. 

We took the kids to Furman's lake.

Maya loves to snuggle with my parents pups. 

My mom got Maya a sewing craft and she loves it!

Me, Mom, Granny, Lilianne, and Crystal on Thanksgiving day.   I love that my family comes to my house.  I am glad that I get to do something for them, when they do so much for me. 

This smile of Lilianne's cracks me up!

 Opening some presents.

Bath time!

The kids creating their annual gingerbread house. 

We went to Roper Mountain Lights.

I was worried about Isaac seeing Santa, since he has a phobia about beards.  He surprised me by running right up to him and giving him a huge hug!  

We visited the Hendersonville Train Depot

Isaac loved that he got to control one of the trains. 

Then we went to lunch at the Runway Cafe.  

We had a great time decorating the tree this year.  We got to put all of our Italy ornaments on it. 

Maya's dance studio participated in the Greenville Christmas parade.  Their theme was the Grinch.  We did our best "Whoville" hairstyle.  She did great and rode on the float with our friend and I got to watch her go by.  

Omar put together an event for the Furman campus this year called "Unsilent Night".  We all downloaded a music piece to our ipads and iphones and then all pressed play at the same time.  We walked around campus with our devices blaring the music.  It was really fun!  

My aunt got Isaac these adorable pajamas which came with a matching bear.  He is finally able to fit in them and just loves them!  

We hosted a neighborhood Christmas party for all of the kids on our street.  They are all such good friends!  Please take notice of little Michael on the left who was only 4 weeks old when this picture was taken.  He is our newest addition!

Isaac got an adorable construction costume from his friend Davey.  

We also went to the Travelers Rest Christmas parade.  The kids collected so much candy and had fun playing with their friend Atticus.

Who knew that Cinderella lived in Travelers Rest?!

My friend Sarah and I took our daughters to see the Nutcracker.  The girls did really well sitting through the ballet.  It brought back so many memories of all of the years I danced in the Nutcracker. 

Our yearly Christmas photo

Maya had a school Christmas party.  I helped chaperone the event and Isaac wanted to be just like the kids and eat his snack with his new friends. 

Santa even came to the party!  It was so sweet listening to all of the kids telling him what they want for Christmas. 

That's all for now!!
