Still Playing Catch Up

I am still so behind, but I won't blame pregnancy this time. Prepare for another long blog as I attempt to play catch-up again.

Greyson had a Batman birthday party this year and had a blast. Grandparents got him the Little Tikes bouncy house, so we set that up and the kids bounced away. He got lots of fun stuff including his Imaginext Batcave, that he LOVES. There is nothing more Greyson loves than being in the presence of his friends. Having them all there to celebrate his big day w/ him was so much fun for him!

Our friends the Hicks came into town the day of Greyson's party to enjoy some game day fun. We rode the Aggie bus to campus and took the kids to some of the pre-game stuff. They enjoyed watching the Corps & band march in and getting their faces painted. The guys stayed for the game and got to enjoy Maryann's cousins box seats...let's just say they both had a REALLY GOOD TIME ;) Maryann and I enjoyed a fun afternoon w/o the kiddos shopping around in some of the cute shops here. That night we went to dinner and enjoyed some delicious Italian food. We always enjoy our visits w/ the Hicks.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving w/ family and friends. We were able to spend some sweet time w/ my brother and future sister-in-law. The kids got lots of good attention and there was more food than you could even imagine...Davis really enjoyed it as you can see by the picture below.



After the craziness of Thanksgiving, our sweet boy turned 4 On November 28th. I just can't believe how the time has flown by. It just seems like yesterday that we welcomed a 5.11 lb tiny boy into the world and now he is growing before our eyes. He is such a fun addition to our family as he makes us laugh and has such a sweet heart. We had a fun day at home spending time as a family and celebrating him.

We have been enjoying celebrating the season and have done some fun things at home to prepare for Christmas. The kids really got into decorating the tree this year, which was a lot of fun to watch. We did our annual ginger bread house and I must say it turned out really good this year! I don't know if more candy made it on the house or in the kids mouths ;) One night we took the kids to "A Night in Bethlehem" that one of the churches here in town put on. It was a really neat experience and the kids loved it. They decorated ornaments, made bell necklaces, made bread, and had their picture taken w/ Mary & Joseph. Each child went home w/ an Advent calendar that they have enjoyed doing every day.
