Virtual Christmas For Gran

We were supposed to go to Raleigh today to celebrate Christmas with my mom, grandma, aunt and uncle, and Andrew & Angie and I was going to see my high school best friend Leena visiting from CA for her baby shower. The snow we got is beautiful, but kept us from our trip, which was a huge disappointment!!! The below video is for Gran to see Sydney and Ethan opening their Christmas presents from her.

My Birthday

My birthday was Friday. See the half eaten ice cream cake? Jeff brought it home around 3pm, and I could not wait till after dinner to eat it! So, Sydney, Ethan & I each had a piece while Reid napped.

Here's a close up of the cake. We were missing our 4 candle, so I decided to be 33 again. I should have picked 26, though! :-) Sydney decorated the cake with one of her LPS toys.

Good to the last drop!

Sydney & Ethan made me bookmarks for my birthday!

Evening in December

On Sunday night, Sydney and Ethan sang with the Praise Kids Choir at our church's annual Evening in December. Enjoy the show!

This Swirl Is Just Not Working Out!

This morning, Sydney & Ethan decided to fix Reid's hair before breakfast. He has this swirl in the back (it looks like a hurricane- we call it "Cat 5"), and Sydney was unable to control it. She said, "This swirl is just not working out!"



In the photo above, Sydney was saying, "We have to push his bangs back to make his head look bigger."

Jeff & his dad cut down trees in his parents' yard the day after Thanksgiving. Here are Ethan & Reid with Papa and Jeff's chainsaw.

Jeff & I took Sydney & Ethan to The Nutcracker at the Steven's Center on Monday. It was awesome! We took them out to lunch downtown afterward. It was a really nice day, maybe we'll make it an annual tradition. This picture was taken at Jeff's clinic.
