Apex Christmas Parade

The girls are on the jump rope team at school. November and December are the Christmas parades that the girls jump in. Last night was the Apex Christmas parade. This one happens to be my favorite. It is at night time and the parade route is through down town Apex. It is a great small town America parade. The girls did great. It was really cold but lots of fun. We got our exercise walking the parade route and then walking back to our car which was at the beginning of the line up. I would say we walked a total of 4 miles. It was fun to see some of our friends in the crowd cheering us on.

Funny Easton

Just thought of a funny thing Easton said recently and thought I would share it. I told him we were going to go to church today and he was going to get to go to nursery. I asked him if that would be fun and he said "yes." I then asked him who his friends are in nursery and he said "pretzels and water!" That is the snack he gets in nursery. They say the way to a mans heart is through his stomach I had know idea this started so early :).

Thanksgiving 08

When I was younger I thought of Thanksgiving as the holiday to get over so it would be Christmas time. Know that I am older Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. What a great day dedicated to remembering all that we are thankful for. There is so much to be thankful for, my family, health, friends the list can go on and on. We were fortunate enough to have our good friends Matt and Julie come visit with us. We had a great time. Matt and Jason spent most of their time up in the attic working hard. Thank you Matt!! Julie and I had the pleasure and at times hardship of watching the kids. I had know idea two boys could come up with so much mischeif. They kept us on our toes that is for sure. Our big outting was going to Marbles Childrens Museum. The kids had a great time. Jason and Julie both got to experience Black Friday, an event that Jason looks forward to weeks before. He left our house around 1:30am and sat outside to get us a new computer. Thank you Jason. We were sad to see our friends leave Sunday morning. I believe I saw a tear in Jason's eye :) . Thanks for all the help!!

Pile of Leaves + Kids = Fun

Graham and Easton had a great time two weeks ago jumping in the leaves in our front yard.
