Christmas Vacation

On Christmas morning Ainsley was the first one up at 4:45 AM. Next came Kaylee around 6:30 AM, and then Landon around 7:00 AM. By the time Landon woke up the girls were going nuts. Especially Kaylee who was throwing around threats about what was going to happen if she didn't get to open her presents soon. We stayed in our pajamas until it was time for dinner with the Beeson's. Actually Chris didn't because he was outside setting up our new trampoline!

Grandma Yarbrough arrived the day after Christmas.  During her stay Landon and Kaylee convinced her to jump on the trampoline with them. Today Grandma had to go home, but we snuck in a quick trip to the Children's Museum before we took her to the airport.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. We're going to play some games and let the kids stay up a little later than normal. I've considered letting them try to make it to midnight, but they are so notorious for waking up early no matter what time they go to bed that I just don't think I can bring myself to let them . . . maybe next year. Here's to 2011!  Happy New Year!

Countdown to Christmas Break

December was filled with activities. There was a spelling bee, a choir concert, and classroom Christmas parties. And, Chris and Landon got to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

Thanksgiving Break

Over Thanksgiving break Grandma Gadd came for a visit. Grandpa was supposed to come too, but he'd recently had surgery and was still recovering. After much deliberation, Grandma and Grandpa decided Grandma would come on her own. While she was visiting, we introduced her to the wonderful world of geocaching and the delicious Hula Hut. We did a little Black Friday. We decorated our house for Christmas. And, (as always) we were sad to say goodbye when the time came. We missed Grandpa a lot, but we're so glad Grandma still came.
