Christmas Cookies

Well, it's Christmas time and one of my great memories of growing up was making Christmas cookies with my mom. I want to make the same good memories for my own children. So far, we've made one batch of cookies and Will loved to help me. His favorite part was licking the beaters. Addie wanted to help too, but bless her heart, her idea of helping was just playing in the flour. Oh well..that's fun too! Wyatt just watched everything from his high chair and said PUPPY (his new and favorite word).

Christmas in Canton

This is the first year that we have gone to Christmas in Canton and it will be a new tradition for our family. We went last week with our dear friends, The Bryants, and had a wonderful time. This event is held on the square in Canton and there are lots of Christmas lights, a carousel, a train, a firetruck, and horse and buggy rides. We drank hot chocolate and enjoyed the night so much.

Decorating Mimi & Papa's Christmas Tree

My mom and dad put up a small Christmas tree each year and the kids get to come over and decorate it. They had such a good time doing this. It's so fun to watch them choose the ornaments and find just the right spot on the tree to hang them. It's moments like this that make the most precious memories.

Happy Thanksgiving 2007!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We have so much to be thankful for and try to show that thanks daily, not just on this day each year. We celebrated the day at our house and my parents spent the day with us. We had lots of good food, watched the parade, and of course, lots of football.
