Christmas

Rebecca!

We've had a fun Christmas break!

There was a White Christmas re-enactment on Christmas Eve

And popels on Christmas morning! The girls were so excited!! When Rebecca came to get me she said, "Mom! There are so many presents to be seen!"

Matt's mom and grannies spent Christmas with us and we loved having them here. The weather was so weird, we turned the air conditioning on Christmas Day. Our big gift to the girls was a trip to Disney World. When we told them we were going the were just like oh ok. It was hilarious. I wish I had it on video. Thankfully my parents also got them scooters.

We went to Jarrett's for supper on Christmas Day and there was a dance party

The day after Christmas we went down to Mandy's. It was great to see everyone!

Cousins! We got to see Riley

And Camden and Alison

And Matt did Camden's rubic's cube!

Holiday Happenings

Laura! Crazy girl

Last week was Laura's dance showcase! Her motions were so exaggerated and awesome. She loved it!

We skipped Rebecca's dance show because it was the same time as the girl's party at school. Ms. Lisa called it a "Holiday Happening" and it really was. Total chaos. There were some crafts, some carols, a story and Rebecca's class sang a special song.

Matt was in NYC and missed the show but I think his meetings went well and he got to see his BFF Manny.

Last Sunday we lit the Advent wreath. The girls may or may not have sat/laid in the floor. NBD

Luminaries! My favorite Winston Salem tradition

This weekend Matt and I went to Louis's Christmas party and spent the night at the Proximity. So much fun!! Thank you Oma for keeping the girls!

Also the weather has been unseasonable warm lately and we can't get enough!

Sisters!

Congratulations Oma

Rebecca!

Last weekend we had everyone over to celebrate Oma's retirement. Her last day of work was November 30th and we couldn't be more excited!

Other exciting happenings include Disney on Ice and the Nutcracker (which I got no pictures of)

Chucky Cheese for Logan's birthday

Meeting Santa and Matt's work party

And glow sticks in the bathtub! Baby rave

Cousins!

Thanksgiving

Laura!

The weekend before Thanksgiving we had Matt's family over to our house to celebrate. The girls loved seeing their cousins! Mandy and her family moved into their new house in Concord that Monday and we are so excited they are going to be closer!!

Delicious! I baked a ham and Ms. Joan made all the sides.

Monday was the girl's Thanksgiving feast at school.

Cuties! My parents came in Tuesday night and Christina and her family got here Wednesday. We all drove up to Blacksburg for Thanksgiving at Anne and John's.

Before supper we went bowling at the Cinebowl! The kids had never been before and they loved it. After each turn Laura would yell boo-yah!

Mother May I! We got an awesome turkey dinner from fresh market and Matt made a reheating chart. Of course there was black jack.

We spent Friday in Woodstock and somehow this is the only picture I got. Awesome eyebrows. It was great to see everyone and we especially loved meeting baby Kira.

Saturday was the iron bowl! We got up early and drove back to Winston for the game. Sadly Auburn didn't win but definitely made a good showing.

Saturday was also a book fair.

Mat Winsor! Mat watched the game with us and spent the night before he flew out on Sunday. He also got to  help pick out our Christmas tree!

Beautiful!

Peanuts and Football

Rebecca!

Last weekend Matt took the girls to the Peanuts movie. They loved it!

Laura got really into measuring

Auburn and Alabama won their football games

And we went to Costco!

This weekend we went to Auburn for the Auburn/Georgia game! It was so much fun!! We lost the game but we won the weekend.

Here we are getting ready to go. Will is wearing my dad's shorts from the eighties and I'm wearing Will's 3 year old son Charlie's football jersey.

The girls spent the weekend with their Oma and had the best time!

Halloween

Rebecca!

Last weekend we carved pumpkins.

Beautiful!

This week was dance showcase!

Spooky Lou where are you?

First Street Dinner

Saturday was Halloween!

So exciting!!

We went to a neighborhood party then started trick or treating at dark. Matt and I both walked around with the girls so I left a big bowl of candy on the porch. When we got back at the end of the night all of the candy was gone except for the Whoppers. Weird.

Sweet Ms. Myrtie! She had everyone in for punch.

After trick or treating the girls got to spend the night with their Oma. Best week ever!!
