All I Want for Christmas...

December. Christmas. Peppermint. Jesus. Lights. Trees. Carols. Hot Cocoa. Fun. Memories. Santa Hat.  Busy. Scarves. Hats. Coats. Well I guess all of that would be true if we lived up North somewhere, so for us only half of those come to mind! It is so fun living in a new city and joining in on all that they have to offer. Friday we thought we would join Mark at a FAMILY interview dinner, but learned quick that our boys were not cut out for their home!! So we left him and went to Chick-fil-a and played until the dinner was over. I can say that I have never been on a date there on a Friday night, but we were not the only one! Saturday we went to a Christmas parade (not special and made me think I was in New Orleans for a moment!) Later that night we had Mark's Christmas party at the Chair's home. It was fun and a very nice home. I never intend to have one quite that large, but would love to have some of character that it had. They had a whole room with leather, stadium seating and a huge tv for football games or so I assumed. A beautifully landscaped backyard and gorgeous kitchen! Sunday, Anderson ran a fever all day, so we were lazy until that evening when we met friends for dinner, and then went to Lights of the South. Today I took the boys to Edventure in Columbia. I had bought a groupon for a membership that I needed to activate before the end of the month. They had the BEST time and slept all the way home! It is similar to Sci-port in Shreveport, but offers a ton more for their age.

The boys are currently outside playing with play-dough while I update! They are really excited about Christmas. Bently has been learning the story of Christmas at school. I occasionally will hear them singing "Jingle Bell Rock!" Bently would like a green horse for Christmas along with a puppy and an extra see-saw for his friends to play on...sorry to say, but he may be a tad disappointed come Christmas morning. ;) Mark started back at MCG today after spoiling us to early hours while at the prison last month. He is busy (or should be) studying for a test in January.  This week is full of several long call days, so I am happy I have taken up knitting to help pass the time!

Here are a few pictures of the fun that we've been having. I am so tired at night as I am sure most of you reading are too! I hope this week and holiday season finds you well. Our Christmas cards will go out this week and we'd love to receive yours! Our new address is 702 Muscadine Court Martinez, GA 30907

All of our love
