Catch Up

I have no good excuse for why I’ve been absent from blogging for so long.  But I think my few faithful readers will survive =)  So since it’s been exactly a month since I last posted…I will try to catch you up on life lately.  Most of it will be done with pictures (my favorite kind of post).

November and December were busy months at school.  We had the All County music festival followed by about 4 other programs.  I can only show pictures that don’t have close ups of kids so here is one from last Thursday’s Christmas show.

We spent Veteran’s Day weekend with Kevin’s parents in Cloudland Canyon (our new tradition).

I have been very busy with cake-making.  And I know I said I was done doing the cake catalogue pictures on here, but we are having some issues with the website right now.  So here are some of the latest:

A couple of weekends ago, the Georgia girls decided we would start an annual tradition of having a “baking weekend” before the holidays.  It was such a fun time, and I told them we absolutely had to get a group shot because I have no proof that they exist!  Unfortunately the old man I asked to take our photo had very shaky hands so the picture came out blurry, but he was sweet to do it.

Back up to Thanksgiving (sorry for going out of order) when the families came to Birmingham.  Again it was such a fun time.  Here is our only successful attempt at getting Maggie to face the camera.

Last night we had our church community group over for the Dirty Santa Christmas party.  Ahh memories….

And finally, we had our flat screen T.V. delivered and installed last week.  I don’t have any pictures but you can use your imagination.  This was quite a big deal considering we’ve been talking about getting one and then changing our minds back and forth for so long.  Now we are really happy with it and we basically just watch with our mouths hanging open.

I have one week (4 days to be exact) before we get out for Christmas break.  Hopefully I can post more often then.  Lots to look forward to in the coming weeks!  Thanks for stopping by.
