Happy New Year!

Wow it's been a long time since my last post!  November and December seem to be crazy and full of fun events. 

First, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my mom.  I love when she comes to visit.  The kids love it to.  In Brooke's words, "Grammy spoils us rotten!"  I have to agree!

Grammy loves making Christmas Cookies with her loves!

 

Thanksgiving Day!

 

December was another wonderful month. 

Grammy Bonnie and Brooke went to Madeline's Christmas at the Dock Street Theater! 

 

We went on a long weekend trip to Bryson City, NC, to ride the Polar Express.  We stayed in an amazing cabin in the mountains.  The Becks and Roses joined us!

Here we all are taking a hike through the mountains.

 

Here it the Polar Express train.  The kids had a BLAST!

  

The waiters danced through the train car delivering cookies and hot chocolate.

 

We also were able to watch Brooke show off everything she has learned in gymnastics since October.   She did such a wonderful job!  We were all so proud of her.

 

Christmas Day was also wonderful!  The kids enjoyed opening their presents.  Daddy and Ty spent the morning building his legos while Brooke played with her crafts and new American Girl doll!

 

You just can't help but love these two!

 

Which brings us to January.  Ty has started playing flag football on a 3-5 yr old league.  He is playing with the Beck boys.  They are SO adorable to watch.  Ty isn't too fond of anyone taking his flags though but he did manage to run the ball down the field for a touchdown.

 

Most days Ty and Brooke will mention that they wish Christmas would come back.  I remind them that it will but we need to think about all the other fun things we have coming up this winter and spring.  Brooke will continue gymnastics and hopefully play t-ball this spring.  Ty plays football through February.  Then Grammy Marsha will be back down for Easter!!

I have also been helping a friend promote her AWESOME scrapbooking business!  She has some amazing cropping events scheduled and two unbelievable cruises as well.  You can view her website at www.croptopiagetaways.com.  You can also LIKE her page on Facebook.  She is announcing something NEW tomorrow!
