Christmas morning
Liberty’s reaction to Santa bringing an air fryer
Cookies!
Singing!
Lights!
The kids have been making lots of decorations and singing songs.
Liberty went back to the pulmonary doctor and had to be put on prednisone. Hopefully she clears up soon. But she sure loves eating at Red Robin after!
I took Canton and Liberty to see Mary Poppins. It is the first time they’ve been to the movies and the first time I’ve been since before we were married. Liberty said her favorite part of was the popcorn haha. Canton has been signing the songs! It was a great day!
Canton made a life size nutcracker and the girls painted a tree (I’m always a sucker for anything that captures their handprints).
We have maybe 1 inch here. Kids are having a blast!
Ended up with 5 inches.

W&M had a gymnastics meet tonight. Adleigh was amazed at all the athletes’ routines, she kept saying “wow”, “look at that!” But I think they mostly liked moving through all the seats.
Wishing you all things merry!
After ANOTHER Hokie victory over UVA for the 15th year in a row, we all settled down for the creation of a Gingerbread village. The kids were very detailed oriented! Dad made the bases and the kids did most of the decorating themselves.
Yes, at least for this year, we are the crazy family that puts of the tree before Thanksgiving.
We went to see Santa at Yankee Candle and the kids picked out an ornament. They were then filled with the spirit so they worn us down. 🙂
Canton picked a sailfish, Lou an owl of course, and my peanut picked a peanut!
I got pretty emotional putting up the tree this year, Liberty placed our purple ribbon in remembrance of Mal on the tree and on the wooden reindeer that belonged to them. It was a bittersweet moment.
We are looking forward to a great holiday season!
