Here is how our week played out...
This year, I wanted Cooper and Saydie to spend the night (seperately of course) with us, and do fun things like making candy, brownies and crafts!
Cooper came first, last week on the 23rd...he spent the night all night (first time ever) and slept right between Shannon and I! We had a blast! Here are some pics from his visit...
We made Nanny's "Potato Candy" and it was fabulous...taste wise, we are still learning how Nanny got these little things to look good AND taste good!
Then it was Christmas Eve! How exciting!! We went to church at Oak City and it was a wonderful service with Christmas music and the Lord's Supper. We then went to Aunt Carolyn's house for Dad's side of the family Christmas...
After dinner and a fun night at Aunt Carolyn's we spent the night with Nana & Papaw, it's our new tradition that we started last year...we love to watch the kids (Cooper & Saydie) open their Santa presents too, so we have to be down there really early AND we don't have a chimney for Santa to get down, so we HAVE to stay at Nana's house...right?
Christmas Morning...
Then, last night (the 28th) Saydie had her night with us! Jack had a rough night the night before at Cici's house, so he came home too and was really good to let me play with Saydie and enjoy our 'girl time'. While Jack napped, we played "Libby Lu" and I fixed her hair and added just a 'tad' of make up! She is beautiful without it though!
She and I made Peanut Butter Brownies! FROM SCRATCH!!! I loved them, she liked making them but didn't like the way they tasted...oh well, we had fun anyway!
We hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas, just as we did and we hope you have a Happy New Year!!
