The finished products

Claire's creation

Henry's

We had a great time making sugar cookies yesterday. By 9:30 am my children were sucking the icing out of the decorating bags. I was told "It was the best cookie party ever!" Gingerbread men coming soon. . .

Train Show

This weekend we went to the Tidewater Train Show and had a great time. We met our cousins and friends there. It just so happened that Henry and Duncan had on matching outfits-too cute. Claire was a very brave girl and sat on Santa's lap while the boys watched apprehensively. We knew it was time to go when Henry was determined to grab the trains while lying on the floor under the rope.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the morning eating pancakes at Grandaddy's with the cousins and then had a delicious dinner at Auntie Greg's house. Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. Being thankful for so many blessings and eating lots of yummy food-what could be better?!

Presley's first game

We had such a great time this weekend in Harrisonburg. We were able to sit and watch about 15 minutes of the game and the rest was spent running around with the kids in the grass. The weather was perfect and the company even better. Thanks Cindy and Jeff for a great time!

Our Scottish Connection

I have been so blessed by Viv's friendship these past ten years! Who would have thought that after spending a year living separate lives in different countries, we would be such good friends. We had the best time when she came to Virginia Beach and look forward to the day when it is our turn to do the visiting. I laugh so hard now everytime Henry says "Aye."

Thank you so much for coming over to spend time with us. We love you Viv!

The Big Apple

What a great weekend! It was so nice to have three whole days with no worries except where to go for our next meal. We had a blast and were completely worn out by the time Sunday rolled around. My two favorite places were definitely Grand Central Station and the Met. Thanks Kim, Noel and Viv for such an awesome adventure and of course to my wonderful husband for taking such good care of our family!!!
