more FUN stuff....

Our calendar was FULL for December.  On top of all the wonderful Christmas traditions we have, we had 2 weddings in December!!  Talk about a stressful month!!  Although it's impossible to post all the fun stuff we did, I'm trying my best to post SOME of it.

Brayton and I went caroling with the youth group from church.  It was our special night out.  We rode on the bus with them and he thought that was really cool!!  He sang his little heart out, too. 



We had Santa visit our church, too..this time Brinlee was awake.  HA!


After our visit with Santa we watched Polar Express at church with a few kids (no pictures, sorry)! 

Brayton's class has been talking about seasons.  I found this in his folder and it made my heart smile....BIG. 
It's what WINTER means to him....



Isn't that just precious?  I think so :-)  When  I see things like this it makes me wonder if we are making the right decision with having him in public school.  He would./could learn so much more about Christ in a Christion School Environment....and he would ENJOY it. 

Frank had a birthday, too...we don't want to forget our most special DADDY ;-)  Of course we went to our favorite place for lunch...WASABI.  We did a big party for his 30th and I plan doing something even bigger for his 40th...we still have a while to plan that one, though.










We went to James Island to see the lights (another traditon!) and made a pit stop to see "Little Grandma" AKA "Grandma Pete."  She is my GREAT grandmother...so Brayton and Brinlee's GREAT GREAT...how cool is that?!


  Brayton adores her, he thinks she is so neat...I tend to agree :-)  She is so cute and sweet and so fun to talk to.  I feel bad that we don't go see her more, I'm going to make an effort to visit more often.  Brayton is already asking to go back.



We use to have all our big dinners at her house (Aunt Vaudell's), but as the family is grows, it gets harder. We REALLY like staying home on Christmas Day now with the kids.
She still buys all those kids a Christmas present, too!  Bless her heart!



Here we are at the lights...it was FREEZING that night (20's) so we stayed in the car!





And one day we were sitting at the house visiting with Tiffany, when all of sudden I heard sirens going off.  I immediatley jumped up and started screaming!!!  I knew what it was...it was SANTA on the firetruck!!!
  He comes through the neighborhoods every year...and we've always been lucky enough to catch him ;-)
Brayton was in the shower so I ran in and quickly got him out.


 Brinlee was asleep, so she missed the whole thing.



 Haven and Tiffany were happy to be there for all the excitement!
