Christmas with the Family

We had our annual Christmas gathering with Gene's family. Dean and Rachel graciously host this party every year. It's so nice to have all of the family together- the kids all get to play together and they really enjoy it. As usual, we had a mound of gifts to exchange, wonderful food to eat, and a good time being together. Afterwards we came home and unpacked all of the gifts and put a few toys together so the boys could play a little before bed time. We have our last Christmas party in the morning with our Sunday school class -I think I'm finally ready for Christmas!

Christmas Play

Griffin's class had a Christmas play Tuesday night. They did a manger scene and he was a wiseman. They sang Christmas songs and it was precious. He has been nervous about performing in front of a lot of people but he did a wonderful job. He has been practicing all of his songs lately and it is so funny to hear him walking around the house singing Christmas songs.

Happy Holidays

We have been putting out Christmas decorations for over a week now and we're almost done! Now, I just have to finish all of my shopping - if there's a such thing as finishing. Everytime I think I'm done buying for Gene and the boys, I find one more thing to get for them. Gage and Griffin are excited about Santa coming, I'm pretty sure Gage has it figured out but I'm not confessing until next year. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

New Undies

I bought Griffin a pair of boxer briefs and he is just as happy as can be! He's very proud and looks really cute wearing them! The other picture is from the Carolina-Clemson game. We took Gage and Griffin, we had a great time and they were really good. Griffin was the most upset that we lost, which was cute since I don't think he even understands the whole rivalry concept.

Not Really Bunco

I hosted Bunco at my house this month - Although we never actually played Bunco. Instead we played Scene It and I'm not sure if it was any easier than Bunco! We had a good time socializing and just hanging out with the girls! Between that and the three birthday parties the kids went to, we had a pretty busy weekend.

Go Gamecocks!

We took the boys to the Gamecock call in show at Wild Wings Thursday night and we had a blast! Gage got Steve Spurrier's autograph and we had a visit from cocky and got his autograph too. Griffin always wants to go on the field and play with cocky when we go to the games so I'm glad he finally got to meet him!

More Baseball and Hunting Too

Gage's team played in their last tournament for the year this past weekend. They were runners up for the championship. It will be nice to have a break from practicing - and of course to have our weekends free. Spring baseball will be here before you know it, and I will have two playing then. I guess I should enjoy the break while I can! Gage has been deer hunting for the past two weeks. Although he's seen a few does he decided not to shoot them, he says he's holding out for the "big" one. Oh yeah, Gene took Gage and Griffin hunting Tuesday but I don't have any pictures - it wasn't a very pleasant experience since Griffin apparently talked and moved the whole time.
