Nathan's 35th Birthday

Here are some pictures of the girls giving daddy his birthday cake! We love you Dadda! Happy Birthday!

New Years Trip to the Museum

Camdyn's godmother and godfather, Peggy Garland and Robbie Eskew, sent our family tickets to the Children's Museum for Christmas. We enjoyed having Nathan home for the week following Christmas and had fun taking the girls together to enjoy this wonderful gift. The girls had a ball! They have a mock TV station where Claire gave the weather report and Camdyn reported on the Jonas Brothers concert at the Bi-Lo Center! It was a hoot! Thank you Peggy and Robbie for thinking of us! We love you!

Christmas Day 2009

No big shocker...we were up around 5:30 AM to see if Santa made his stop at our house....and HE DID! The girls were SO EXCITED for their American Girl Dolls and doll beds. It was doll clothes galore and they haven't stopped playing with them yet! We enjoyed time with Mimi, Pops and Michael Christmas morning but we really missed seeing Maw Maw and Paw Paw this year. Hopefully we will see them soon! We love you!
Christmas morning Nate came down with a yucky stomach bug so just the girls and I made it over to Mom's house for the afternoon. Mom rehearsed a cute jingle bells song with all the kids and Claire and Reese read the Christmas story aloud. I am so proud of them both. They did a great job. So grown up those two!!
Thank you Nana and Greg for allowing us to completely trash your house and to see your sweet new addition - a boxer puppy named Cooper! You all mean so much to us and are among our greatest blessings.
Merry Christmas to everyone and blessings for a wonderful 2010!

Big Green Egg

I think we've got an "EGG HEAD" on our hands! This will take Nate's grilling to a whole new level!

Christmas Eve

We enjoyed a wonderful brunch with my Dad, Nancy, and Cayce's family on Thursday morning! Good food, great gifts, and best part was the company! My dad made my sister and I corn hole games! Mine has a Clemson logo and Nate's has the Citadel! So much fun! I am sure we will put it to good use in our cul de sac and during tailgating next fall. I love my Dad's handmade gifts and it makes me feel so special that he takes the time to make us something unique and one of a kind. I love you Dad!
Christmas Eve we attended church with Mimi, Pops, and Michael and our dear neighbors the Cunninghams. The service was awesome and put us all in the right frame of mind to receive the best gift of all....our Lord Jesus Christ. Right before we left for church, Nate was surprised by the arrival of a Big Green Egg! He cooked an amazing dinner for us of BBQ chicken and we were all impressed by his culinary expertise using this new "man tool."
Christmas Eve we opened gifts with the Snyders and put the girls to bed for Santa! Ho Ho Ho!

In Mauldin there is a house that literally is COVERED in lights....the house, front yard, and two backyards behind....You park, get out and walk around to see their lights! Here are some pictures of our trip to see the lights with some of our favorite people: Kristi, Jamison, Cole and Wyatt!! Merry Christmas!!!!
