Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas with our family!

Blair received her very own personalized letter from Santa. She thought it was very neat that Santa knew exactly what she had been up to! Blake also got a letter, but wasn't very interested.

We visited with Aunt Becky, Uncle David, Aunt Harumi and Taylor over Christmas.

Christmas Play

We had a long but good day. Went to church, lunch, Blair's pre-school program and a church Christmas play. By the end of the day I had one snarky shepherd and one disgruntled angel. They were cute though!

A Few Pre-Christmas

We have been busy along with everyone else this holiday season. Last Sunday we visited Santa. Blake is really starting to question us about Santa. He just doesn't buy it but he's too afraid not to believe. Hoping we will know the right time to level with him. It's tough when you don't want to feed a lie and REALLY make it into something it's not and still not spoil it for a younger sibling. Which leads me to Blair. She is totally sold on Santa; Even though, she wouldn't tell him what she wanted for Christmas which makes it tough since she won't tell me either!! Blake had his Christmas music program at school. It was really cute. They wore their pj's and sang Christmas songs. I couldn't really get any good pictures or video. It was so crowded and I felt like I was in other people's way. Will have more to post soon.

Basketball-The Ninjas

Blake is playing basketball again this season. He loves it! It's his favorite sport of all that he's played.

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun and busy Halloween! Blair literally wore her costume all day! She had a party at pre-school and ballet before trick-or-treating. After ballet we rushed home to get Blake ready and created his Darth Maul (Star Wars) costume. Worked out pretty good for my first real attempt at face paint and massive amounts of hair gel to create the spike look! We had some friends over to trick-or-treat with us. We had a dinosaur, cowboy, muscle man, ninja, and a bunny join us! We were quite the crew trying herd them through the streets. They were tired and loaded with candy when we returned. Our friends Jason and Kerby are here visiting us from Costa Rica. They were wonderful and helped answer the door while we showered our little goblins and got them into bed.

Pumpkin Carving

We carved our pumpkin last weekend. Dad did a great job! Blake and Blair didn't weren't very interested in the pumpkin. They were too busy playing together. Which is fine! I will take it when I can get it!

A couple of pictures of mom and dad with and me with the kids.

First UT Football Game

We took B&B to their first UT game this weekend. On Friday evening we went to the bookstore, visited Gen. Neyland and caught a Baseball Vols practice. Saturday we went to the Vol Walk. Blake and Blair loved the band and especially loved petting Smokey (the real dog). We visited some friends at their tailgate and headed to the stadium a little early to take in all the sites and sounds. I loved watching them experience all of the orangeness and answering every one of the 15 million questions they had! Also, enjoyed watching the Dobyns Bennett marching band at halftime. My little (not so little) cousin Jake plays in the band. They were fabulous! We met my parents after the game for dinner and they were excited to tell them all about their day. It was really nice to spend the day with my family and share something special like UT with my children. I always feel blessed to have grown up in east Tennessee and to call it home.

Pumpkin Patch

Blair's pre-school class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch last week. We had fun! She has a sweet class with lots of good friends. Two of her best buddies William who we go to church with and Caleb whose parents are some of our best friends are in the pictures.

Blair Soccer

Blair is playing soccer this fall and she is very excited! She is on the sweetest little team coached by one of our good friends with lots of her little friends on the team. I know they are going to have so much fun!

First Day of Pre-School

Sorry It's Been So Long.

We have been busy around here! Hope you enjoy all of the posts!

First Day of First Grade

Blake started school on Friday! He has a great teacher and we are excited about a great year! The bottom picture was too funny though. Blair was barely awake, nobody noticed that the sign was upside down and the look on Hogan's face pretty much sums it up!
