About 2 weeks before Christmas, Lane decided to run into her room with a string of Christmas lights. She single-handedly brought down our 9 foot Frasier Fur. I was so upset that it was on the front porch for a week. Today, when we were in the car and Owen was singing "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer", she was singing "Christmas Tree fall down"...now I can laugh about it, but it took til now, honestly =).
We went to Anniston/Oxford, AL to spend time with Brandon's family for Christmas. It was bittersweet because we could spend time together and slow down, but were also sad that they couldn't come to our house. With Grandmama going thru chemo treatments, it was better this way. Here are some pics from our visit there this week.
This year Owen has been into every action figure ever made. He went from Power Rangers, to Transformers, to Star Wars, and now Bakugan. It's been interesting to follow his ever changing ideas of what Santa should bring him. Finally when we wrote Santa a letter a couple weeks ago, he was set on Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Transformers, primarily Optimus Prime and Bumblebee! So we'll see what the big man brings him =) WE ARE SO EXCITED to wait for Santa this year. Both of the kids have the cutest reactions to surprises now.
Tonight we made cupcakes for baby Jesus' birthday and left 2 for Santa. We also left carrots for his reindeer. Owen is pretty excited, Lane just keeps eating the icing off of her cupcake and asks for "more, pease".
This is at Priesters on the way home from The Nichols'. We stop there pretty much every time we travel. If Murphy is with us, we let him walk him. It's sweet.
