Xmas from Alabama

Dad & Glenna made it over from Alabama for a late Christmas. The kids were so excited to see them (and have Christmas again).

The race track was a huge hit!

Check out the Power Rangers (not) ready for bed!

4 Years?!

Today we hit a snag in the annual birthday pictures. Since Mommy waited too long to call Portrait Innovations, we had to do our own at home (they were booked up ALL WEEKEND and closed for New Year's on Monday & Tuesday). But we had fun, it cost less, and we got some great pictures. :-)

She has a major silly side when we try to do pictures!

Happy Birthday, Anna

Today we had a great time celebrating Anna's 2nd birthday.

Can you tell it was a Dora party?

It was great hanging out with friends.

Madison even got to meet Baby Caroline.

Merry Christmas to all...

It all started at about 8:00. Madison found her Barbie Jeep & her HSM 2 dolls.

Yes, those are the dolls riding in the back of the jeep.

Next, on to the Nana's house with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, & fun! She even got to play Santa by passing out presents (that's the grandkid job, right?).

Lastly, on to Nana & Papa's house where she FINALLY found Butterscotch (and some cool bows)!!

Back home to the wreckage.....it's 11:30 and Mommy is still unpacking and Daddy is still putting things together!


.....PHEW.....

AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve! Here are the Mobleys before church Monday night having a little picture time.

All ready for Santa.....Cookies & milk.....and some reindeer food.

Christmas Round 1

The gift-giving has begun. Friday we went to Emily & Anna's house. The girls loved the play date, of course.



Saturday we went to the McCarley's house.



Where we exchanged gifts & of course played a LOT!



Then we went to see some trains & lights in Elgin. Madison LOVED the little towns!



The tractor ride to see the lights was a fun time too.



But the best part was.....SANTA!!!

Friends, Friends!

Here are a couple pictures from when we all got together to see Frosty. Madison loved the girl in the show!

And another sleepover with Hannah! They went to sleep much earlier this time!

Parent's Night at Dance

Madison & Hannah had Parent's Night at Dance on Monday. They were ADORABLE!

Santa & Snowmen

Monday night Madison finally mailed her letter to Santa. When she woke up in the morning, it was GONE! The elves came and took it to Santa!!!

On Sunday, Madison made us a snowman family. She just got some paper and scissors and disappeared into her playroom. We didn't even know what she was doing (that didn't sound right). When she came out, she had these Mommy and Madison snowmen. She had cut them out, decorated them, and WRITTEN OUR NAMES ON THEM....ALL BY HERSELF!!! I was so proud! She then went in and made a Daddy too, but we couldn't find him to take the picture! :-)

Weekend Happenings

Saturday we had a family shower for the McCarley's.

The girls enjoyed a nice play date while the adults enjoyed some good food and company!

On Sunday we went to Chester to see Nana & Papa sing in the Christmas cantada at their church. At least the weather finally FELT like a little like Christmas.

Elfed!

Madison & Hannah have been elfed!

A SC Christmas

We had a great pre-Christmas weekend.....

Saturday we went to the Lights Before Christmas at the Zoo.

Why, yes, that is Madison playing in the fake snow with short-sleeves on....and roasting marshmallows when it's almost 80 degrees outside.

Sunday we were in the Blythewood Christmas parade with our dance class.

Again, yes, they ARE wearing turtlenecks and velvet and it's, again, almost 80 degrees.

But they still had a blast! Madison had a great time throwing candy to all her friends!
