Christmas Activities

Christmas play

Singing at church

Belle with Santa

Belle as an angel in the Christmas play at church.

Best pic with Santa we've ever had!

Today at the library, we attended the Christmas puppet show and party. In attendance were Santa and Mrs. Claus. Although I had to be in the picture, it is the best so far! No one is crying or reaching out!

URS Children's Christmas Party

Mark's company held a children's Christmas party at an inflatable place this evening. They had food, Santa, and Christmas goody bags for everyone. Belle and Bo had a great time. It was very nice!

Belle must have done this slide at least 15 times once she got the hang of climbing the wall on the other side!

Bo thinks he is just as big as Belle!

Honestly, Bo can't see a camera without saying "cheese" now. Notice Belle's shirt. I got this in Birmingham at "Christmas Village" this year. Jamie's girls have the same shirt. Belle loves Mary and "Jofus" and baby Jesus. She has the hairbow to match. This lady that paints these shirts is so talented!

Bo really liked this Sesame Street jumpy.

Christmas Parade

Our theme: Church members in a country church watching the Christmas play.

We won 3rd place in the Children's Division! I don't know how many were in that division, but there were over 100 floats entered in the parade.

Notice the faux stain glass windows. We made them with metallic tissue paper and plexiglass.

Belle in the angel loft ---notice the handwarmers.

Thanksgiving Visit

Belle and JanJan coloring at Bass Pro (where Santa was)


Bo has learned to say "cheese" when the camera comes out.

Belle and Clayton---check out her static hair

Somebody tell that kid in the green shirt that he is too big for the jumpy! I think Andrew is trying to escape!

We had a wonderful visit to Maryland last week to visit my brother's family. The kids had a ball! They played from sun-up to sun-down.

Halloween and Fall Festival

We had a great time last night. I am posting some pictures from trick or treating as well as the Fall Festival at church. Yes, Mark and I are dressed up and that is not my normal Friday night evening wear. We are the grandmother and woodsman of the "Little Red Riding Hood" story. Belle had a wonderful time! She really got into trick or treating this year. Bo endured it, but got a little tired of getting in and out of the car. He was a good sport though. Everyone was very generous with prizes, candy, and goodies! We also took time to take pictures with Jalyn and Jonna, who were Princess Belle and Cinderella!
