MERRY CHRISTMAS from our family to yours.

One of my favorite things about Christmas is getting Christmas Cards.  I love to check the mailbox everyday.  This is our card this year and I love it.  I order my cards from a lady my friend told me about last year and she does a great job! Her website is www.LEXIJAYNESDESIGNS.etsy.com. She does a great job on birthday invitations also.

It's the most Wonderful Time of the Year ---

Tis the Season

To Enjoy all the Events

Christmas' Parades, Church Program, Finding Elf on the shelf everyday, visits with Santa. school events, and much more.....

2011 Wrens Christmas Parade
Every year we meet the Dowdy Family for a Fun afternoon at the Wrens Christmas Parade.

Abby (7), Mary Dalton (7), Mallie (5), and Jackson (5 - almost 6)

It is so hard to believe our babies are growing up.  I can remember us doing this when they were 3 and 1 in age and we could dress them up so cute and now they have their taste in fashion (mainly Justice). 

The girls waiting for the parade to start (it was running about a hour behind). 

Kaden playing around with Abby.

The kids waiting to pick up some candy.  Poor Mary Dalton had hurt her leg and did not get to enjoy picking up the candy but the kids picked her some up and gave it to her.  They can be so sweet sometimes!

This was in the parade!  What do you think?  Does this say Merry Christmas?

My little Kaden Bug enjoying the parade and the candy.

This is how I say Merry Christmas not that car!

Our Church Christmas Program

Kaden was a little cow, but as you can tell he is not happy about it.

Michelle Rabun made all the costumes and they were all so cute. She is so creative! 

Check out her website at  http://www.mbellish.com/ to see how creative she is.

The Diva Sheep in the program.

Mallie looked so cute!

Cookies with Santa at School



Kaden giving Santa a high five.

This is a miracle to get this picture.  This is the first time Kaden has sat with Santa without crying.  I really had to do some sweet talk.

So Cute!!

So Sweet!

Day 3 and Day 4 --- Billy Bob's Hiding Places (Elf on the Shelf)

Day 4

We found him in the freezer eating a popsicle.



Elf on the Shelf (Billy Bob)

On December 1st., Billy Bob (elf on the shelf) arrived at the Sims' House.  The kids were so excited to find him on Thursday morning.  They look forward to this every year and I loved to watch the excitement in their eyes every morning looking for him. 

Elf on the Shelf always seems to hide in the Christmas Tree his first night at the Sims' Household.

Day 2 --- doing a little gymnastics

Thanksgiving Break / Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving Break!  We started the break with Disney on Ice (Disney 100 years) and yes, Disney did a great job again.  We really enjoyed sleeping late and hang around the house on the break.  Mallie had a great time at her little friend's Bree's birthday party.  Bree's parents took four little girls to Chuckie Cheese for the day and they had the best time.  We enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch at Granny Sandra's house on Thursday. I really enjoyed my Black Friday shopping trip and we enjoyed watching Georgia beat Georgia Tech on Saturday.  We ended the weekend with another Thanksgiving lunch at Gee and Papa's on Sunday.  It was a great week!

Waiting on Disney on Ice to start. Kaden would not get in the picture but he did get to go.

The show has started.

Great Show!

I love to watch them skate!

It's a Small World!
