Cookie Decorating!

Nathan is the "Keeper of Traditions" in our house! Each year, we do the same things on the same dates, such as looking at Christmas lights, decorating cookies for Santa, and eating chili before Christmas Eve church service. Em and Nathan both enjoy all of it! If you look back over our blogs you can see how much they've changed. You'll also realize I probably don't have many more years of this left. :-(

6th Grade Choir

Nathan is in the choir at school. Here he is at the Christmas Concert. He is second from the left on the first row.

Bells

Our church has a Youth Bells choir and Em joined this year. They played "Carol of the Bells" for the Christmas Cantata. It was beautiful! (Em is right next to the director in the middle of the pic.)

"Practicing" for Recital

I stayed for Em's dance class during Parent Watch Week. Em and her friend Alex were goofing off before class started.

Thanksgiving Fun 2008

We went to Oklahoma City for Thanksgiving this year. Nathan enjoyed hanging out with family and playing backyard football.

Fall!

One of the great things about living in Greenville is the difference in climate. It is noticeably cooler and we actually got to see fall leaves!
