Teaching Sunday School

One of my favorite days of the week will be when you find me teaching the little ones at our church. Getting to know their personalities as they develop and discovering all they learned from the week before. At this age they learn so quickly. I'm really enjoying this time with them.

Us at the Grove Park Inn & Resort

Happy Holidays!!

I love this candid where we're enjoying our time together at our favorite place "The Grove Park Inn"

Me and Scoot as we are

Ok, so it's not exactly an official Christmas photo with Scoot but it's one that shows us as we are each evening. Cuddling up with the pillows and him always finding a way to get in my lap for some lov'in.

Official Christmas photo

My little Christmas boy. Had to get this picture before he tore out the cute little bow he's wearing. He really hates them and does everything he can to get'em out.

Ta Da!

Finished the tree! Yep, it's in the chandelier again!

Christmas Traditions

Each year we get our tree at the Boyd family farm the day after Thanksgiving. This has been a ten year tradition for 08'. They have the best and ;( most expensive trees anywhere around NC!

We said we'd go go smaller this year, but after viewing the photos and after putting the tree up for decorating, I think a foot smaller than last year does not constitute small. It's so hard to scale down after big for so many years! We see, we want!

I always complain about the size because of the work invovled. Afterwards, when all the lights and decorations are up (which is usually done in stages over a 3-4 day period)

it really makes it all worthwhile. We just can't stop saying how beautiful it is as we pass it. Jeepers!!! Just look at the base on that thing! It definitely was a group effort getting this home. The best part was it going straight up in the stand without any adjustments. That's pretty good considering one year it fell over!
