Candy House

December 17, 2018

My favorite Christmas tradition! You can check out previous candy houses here – 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012. It’s so funny to look back at how much more candy gets put on the house each year! When the kids are in control the candy gets piled on!

I was almost thinking this might be the year that I don’t help and just let the kids have at it, but that didn’t happen. They still needed help and I still wanted to help! I love doing it!

Christmas concert

December 14, 2018

The boys had their Christmas concert at school this week. They performed it 3 days – the first day was just for the other students so we went a little more casual…

and the next two days were for parents so we stepped it up a notch! I was pretty proud to find these nice pullovers at Vineyard Vines on Tuesday and the boys were pretty happy not to have to wear a button down! Samantha even got to go watch the performance with me. Despite being VERY concerned that she couldn’t see the stage, I think she enjoyed it.

Love all the Christmas fun!

Christmas Parade

December 13, 2018

Like last year, Maxwell got to walk in the village Christmas Parade with the boy scouts. Also, like last year, Samantha wore her green polka dot dress! ha!

Looked cute then, looks cute now!

It was an unseasonably warm and muggy day – but at least it wasn’t raining! Lots of fun floats to see and plenty of candy to get!

Dolphin Expert

December 12, 2018

Last week the 2nd graders had their Animal Expert Fair. They have each been researching a different animal this semester and created both a book and a poster about it. They read their book to their parent and then presented their poster to any other parents that came by. Maxwell chose the dolphin. He did great – and even looked the part in his Dolphins jersey!

RTR

December 11, 2018

Two weeks ago we got together with some friends to watch the SEC Championship game. When we got to our friend’s house, they boys disappeared and we didn’t know what they were up to. Then they ran out right before kick-off and gave us all a good laugh!

The game was a tense one and it wasn’t looking good for AL. But, in a story better than a movie, our formerly first string now backup QB came in and saved the day just the way our now first string formerly backup QB had saved the day in last year’s National Championship Game! Go Tua and Jalen!

rtr

It was a great game with lots of fun friends!

Roll Tide Roll! On to the Orange Bowl we go!
