Although It's Been Said
many times,many ways....MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!
Decorating our new house was fun! I so love the glow from Christmas tree lights! I wish it could stay up all year long!
We headed to Sparkle for Christmas on Christmas Eve's eve eve. I think it was? Anywho, MG lost ANOTHER tooth before we left for there. That's 2 teeth in 1 week people!!She got $5 for the 1st tooth and $1 for the next. That's the way the Tooth Fairy rolls when you lose teeth so quickly!
Here is the table at my parents' house set so prettily for Christmas Eve chicken stew.
Aunt Leslie & Uncle Bill gave MG a microphone. Give that girl a microphone and a full-length mirror to watch herself and she is good to go! Granddaddy tried out the microphone to see if it worked.
Santa must have moved MG from the naughty to the nice list because she got a SWING SET! And some other goodies too!
We went to church and then to lunch and to open presents at Nana & Poppy's house. It was a great afternoon because my parents were with us and all of our family was together.
A few days later I headed back to my parent's to celebrate my dad's 81st birthday!!!! I saw a great idea on the internet where you get how many memories the birthday person is and present them to them on their birthday. So, my family and I sent out an email (or several!) and got 81+ memories for my dad. I really think he liked it. We went to eat and then home for cake and we gave my dad his memory envelopes and read them aloud to him. It was such a good time!
We welcomed my niece's sweet baby boy, Julian, on Christmas Day. Isn't he precious??
Daddy and Adam putting together the swing set. It only took about 2 days (ofhardlabor). She LOVES it! L.O.V.E.S!

A Lost Tooth and Christmas Fun
I love a good Christmas party!! They seem to always have some fun twist to them! Our Bible study party was sooo funny this year! Our teacher, Leigh, is a very fashionable lady and as a surprise to her we wore the most lovely Christmas sweaters to see if she would even notice (she did)! It was so funny seeing everyone in their sweater. I know my mom has a closetful, but since she doesn't live near me I had to borrow one.
Don't Ash & I look good??
And of course, our annual party...complete with the annual picture of Benjy that was fought over! The singing filet-o-fish was also a hit!
At school they had a author's showcase. Mg read a book she wrote about her gingerbread girl out to all of the parents. She did such a good job! The next day they had their Christmas party.
And right after the Christmas party in the car she lost her first tooth!!!! I looked back at her at her tooth was bleeding and as much as I don't like to pull a tooth, I knew it had to come out asap. So, I barely pulled on it and it came right out. She looked at it and was doing a mix of a laugh and cry! I wa so glad that it was out! She was looking at her new smile in the mirror every chance she got! The tooth fairy brought her $5! She told her it was $5 for the first tooth and then not as much for the rest (: We went to Forever 21 the next day and she bought nave glitter nail polish and lipgloss with her money. The next bottom tooth is ready to come out any day!
Parent Observation day in dance is one of my favorite. You get to see what they have been working on and a little of what you can expect for the recital. She knew so many ballet poses!
Auggie is back and up to his old tricks! As soon as her feet her the floor in the morning MG is looking for him!
Almost time!!!
Oh, and did I mention that out whole entire upstairs had to have the carpet pulled up, floorboards removed, sanded, replaced,and carpets re put down? Just a little something fun to add to the Christmas fun.

Light Up the Town
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone Christmas seems to be right round the corner. We welcomed the season with the Christmas parade with our friends, the Warrens. It doesn't seem right watching a Christmas parade while you are burning up because it's so hot outside, but that's how we roll in SC!
For the first time this year MG was in the Christmas pageant at our church. It's a huge performance that they have been doing for 24 years! She and all of the preschoolers were lightbulbs and ohmygoshhh they were SO cute!! There were 5 performances from Thursday to Sunday so it was busy weekend, but it was really fun! This year's theme was "Light Up the Town".

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year. What makes it even better is that Kris' family and my family love each other so much that we can spend it all together as one big happy family!
Thanksgiving starts off with MG singing at our church Thanksgiving supper on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Then on Wednesday we go to Spartanburg. Thursday the Mitchell fam comes over and we eat around 1. This Thanksgiving evening we met up with our Gawrych friends for a bit and then at midnight Kris, Kelly, and I went to WalMart...and it wasn't even crowded! We didn't get any good deals though! Friday mom, MG and I went shopping all over town and then to lunch at the Beacon. Friday night we went to the Mitchell's for a big Mitchell family gathering!Including pictionary!
Saturday it was back home for tailgating for the Clemson-Carolina game! And guess who won for the 3rd year in a row??? That's right! Goooo Cocks!
And this year was a first because we found out in September that i shouldn't have gluten and in October that MG cannot have gluten. We did okay though with our gf dressing (it was good!) and pecan pie!
We always miss Cathey, Don, Molly, Blake, Alycen, Spencer, Jimmy, Casey, and Jenna though! Holidays aren't the same without y'all!!

Change of A Dress
As of October 12 we live in a brand new house! We love it! It is such a change going from a 1 story house to a 2 story house. Kris and I have never lived in a 2 story house and our calves know it! MG acts like we have lived here her whole life! The move did not phase her at all! Boo has already wandered off unbeknownst to us and made his way up our street all by himself. We had new nieghbors at our door asking if we had a black pug. Oops! It is going to take a while to get everything settled, but we are working on it everyday! Nana and Poppy came here for a couple of days and were so helpful! My parents are came after they get back from a trip to New England. We are thakful for all their help and that of our friends! We are so blessed!
Here's a peek, but remember we aren't finished! Not even close!
