Danny's Christmas Play

On Danny's actual birthday, the 12th, Danny's school put on a Christmas program. Danny was the Angel Gabriel, Messenger of God to Mary and Joseph.

After taking some time to prepare (see the 1st photo), he made a wonderful Gabriel speaking his lines out very clearly. I was very proud! Afterwards, they had birthday cake for Jesus, and then we took our "star" out for his birthday dinner at Chilis. It was a great day!
Then on Saturday, we went to the Killearn United Methodist Living Nativity called "Follow the Star". For those of you not in our city, the church builds a small town of Bethlehem that you can drive through (or ride the hayride for a more "real" experience). The story of the birth of Jesus is acted out by church members, and people come from all over town to see it. We were going to ride on the hayride, but Megan wasn't feeling well, so we drove through. It is always a sight, and if you live here, it is definitely worth going.

Party time

We celebrated Christmas with tthe Creamers and the Morets on Dec. 7th, and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins.

Here is a pic of all ten of the kids. They are getting so big!

Christmas decorating

It has been a little while so I'm catching up. Just had to get a few of the kids decorating. on the 6th. We had planned to decorate after Danny's party, but had to wait because of the torrential rains. Oh well. Looks great anyway.

Happy 5th Birthday Danny!

Saturday, we celebrated Danny's 5th Birthday with the whole family, Michelle and Alex, and Danny's friend from his baby classes, Emily with her mom, Jeanne and brother, Bryan. He had a fabulous party, even though the rain kept us mainly indoors.

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did. It was a quiet day with good food, beautiful skies, and a Dirty Jobs marathon. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! Also, our Japanese Magnolia is in full color, and I think it's the prettiest that I've ever seen. We got some great shots of the meal, the kids and the tree.
