London's Church Choir

Sweet sisters after the program in the fellowship hall.


Santa was even there! This is the 1st time that London has willingly sat on his lap since she was almost a year old - I think. As you can tell I was so excited that she hopped right up on his lap and told him that she want a Cupcake Maker, Diego's Animal Rescue Railway and Jungle in My Pocket. Guess she was a good girl - Santa brought all 3 and more!

London's School Christmas Program



Here is London with her K4 Class at Rocky Creek Baptist Church on Friday, December 12th 2008.
London was the Woolie Sheep!



After the Program we went back to their Classroom for cookies!
Here is London and her BFF Brooke! They are too cute!


Harper also goes to Rocky Creek 2 mornings a week and her classroom is actually right across the hall from London's class. She happened to see me and daddy walking down the hall, so we brought her over to join in on the fun!

Here is London and her K4 Teacher Ms. Sally!
We love Ms. Sally! What a great year it has been so far!!
London loves going to school!

Going to get our Christmas Tree


Friday, November 28th 2008 the day after Thanksgiving we went to get our Christmas Tree.




Here we are at the "Grandaddy's Trees" right down the road from our house! It didn't take us to long to find a tree we liked! The girls had fun running around and chasing each other around the trees!



Thanksgiving 2008


On November 27th, 2008 we had Thanksgiving at our house for the 1st time!

London in this picture is patiently waiting the arrival of everyone.


Fun Day in the Leaves

Sunday, November 23rd was a good day to play in the leaves as Daddy tried to rake the yard.

The Girls loved jumping the piles of leaves - such fun!





Harper went and got this purse and the sunglasses - I was laughing so hard - she looks like a little bag lady!

London dance

London has started taking Dance - a ballet and tap class on Tuesday's at 1:30! A recital at the Peace Center in May should be very exciting!

Our Newest Addition

On Sunday, November 9th 2008 we welcomed Tiger Chastain to our family!

A very unexpected addition - This so sweet kitty had been hanging around Aunt Christy's neighbor's house for a few days and they were trying to find him a home. When I saw him for the first time on Friday, I thought he was so cute and sweet and the girls loved him. On Saturday on our way back from visiting Ganny and Uh-oh's new lakehouse on Keowee I wanted to stop by and let Brent take a look at the kitty. Brent immediately put him in our car and wanted to bring him home. Christy wasn't home and neither were her neighbors - so we couldn't just take him.... so on Sunday morning bright and early at 8 am we drove back to Powdersville to bring Tiger home with us!

Isn't he so cute!

London loves Tiger - she named him and he lets her carry him around. The vet thinks he is about 4 to 5 months old.

Harper loves to squeeze him too!

New Lakehouse

On Saturday November 8th, 2008 we all went to see Ganny and Uh-oh's New Lake house on Keowee. It is so awesome!


Brent, Uh-oh and the girls on the dock - what an awesome view.


London & Harper loved the fish pond.

London's 1st Field Trip

London and Brooke - Best Friends
On Wednesday, November 5th 2008 London's K4 class went to the Great Harvest on Woodruff Road for their 1st field trip.

Mommy got to go too!


All the kids got to make some cinnamon chip bread - so yummy!


The owner of the store was so great! He told the kids all about bread and how it is made and read the story The Little Red Hen. The kids all thought it was so funny when he explanied to them that the yeast burps!


Here they all are checking out the huge bowls that mix all the ingredients! They are actually yelling down in the bowl to see if it echos.
What a fun day!
