More December Activities

December is always a busy month with school plays, Christmas parties, cookie decorating and ginger bread making.  This year was no exception and thankfully we got to do quite a few activities with Ginger and many other friends! 

Our elf Trent showed up again this year right after Thanksgiving!

We went to cooking class at PCC where I’m pretty sure everyone ate way more than they cooked!

Choir performance at church. (Coe told me after Mac sang that he was NEVER going to do that becasue singing on that big stage in front of all those people was not for him!)

We {mistakenly} went to the downtown parade again this year.  Its always fun for about 30 seconds and then I’m ready to go bcause I’m tired of hearing the complaints…“I can’t see”, “no one throws candy”, “there is no where to sit {except on daddy’s shoulders}”, and the list goes on.  Despite the complaining they never want to leave so its a constant battle.  Thankfully this year I had the big boys and after 30 minutes they were as ready to leave as I was, so we left, grabbed Mexican for dinner and all watched the Heisman trophy presentation.  Thanks Lacy and Jeff for taking the littles and staying way longer than me and Albi!

Raymon Family Christmas

I am determined to get caught up!  I’ll let the pictures below speak for themselves.  We obviously had a noticeable absence this year, but it was great to all get together.  You can’t help but smile with the Raymon grands around!  They are a hoot.  Cousin Biba may be uninvoted next year after giving Mac a bull horn for Christmas.  Better yet I think I’ll let Mac and the bull horn go spend a week with her this summer!
