Playing hooky!

Last week, we had Kayla and Kenzie here at the same time for spring break.  The kids had school so there was not too much we could sneak away and do.  But on Monday I let Tana play hooky and we got up at 3am to drive the girls to a beach in Florida.  We got there at 9am, spent the day, and got home at 9pm that night.  It was so worth it!!  We had great weather, saw dolphins in the ocean, found lots of shells, and most of all....enjoyed eachother's company! 

The walls are going up!

It is hard working trying to get a picture around here......

Our first Christmas in North Carolina

The month of December was filled with new Christmas traditions being made here in North Carolina!  We went to see Christmas lights at The Charlotte Motor Speedway.  They had light displays set up all over, even on the track!  The cool part about that was that they let the cars drive onto the speedway.....the kids got out real quick and ran on the speedway....shhhhh, don't tell!  Since I am Kyle and Thomas' room parent I got to attend and help plan their holiday parties.  We also had some gingerbread house making going on in our own home!  And the elementary school had a Winter Fest complete with ice skating!  So in between all the shopping, wrapping,, and traveling....we managed to squeeze in some fun!
