December had a great start! The kids got to go to the movies with Emily and Mamaw and Papaw. They saw Frozen while Jonathan and I went on a date. Woohoo! Everyone was happy and had so much fun!
Regan had her 10th birthday party. It's hard to believe that she is ten! Well, almost. She had an American Girl birthday and all her friends brought their dolls to the party with them.
One happy girl to finally get some boots! She is already a size 9 in shoes!
This was our last minute cookie cake. We had ordered an American Girl Cake topper with that was personalized and had Caroline on it (the doll she really wants to get), but it did not come in on time. We had a tracking number and saw that it got to Knoxville on Tuesday but got on a truck to Virginia before heading back to Knoxville on Saturday. So Friday we ran down to the mall and ordered a snowman! I think it turned out pretty cute.
Happy Birthday to you...
We also got to be in town for one of my favorite nights of the year. It was the Night of Worship, an hour of Christmas songs and singing. I loved every minute!
Our good friends, Marsh and Judy, came to pick up Regan one day to teach her how to paint with oil paints. Her painting looked great!
We traveled to South Carolina to celebrate Christmas with Grandmommy.
pure excitement :)

Grandmommy got her straw dispenser
We drove through a park and saw tons of lights.
Half way through we stopped to do some of the activities, including a train ride to see more lights.
Just waiting for the train to go.
I got to share a seat with Little Bit
All the kids got to try to climb to the top of this rock wall. Lauren did not get much higher than this. All the other kids did a great job, too, but only ONE made it all the way to the top to ring the bell....
...Katherine!!! Way to go!
We roasted marshmallows.
We spent some time with Grandmommy and her new dog as well. The kids enjoyed throwing a ball for her to fetch. She was great at fetching but not always so good about bringing it back to you! :)
