A Visit with Santa

 

We took the kids to see Santa last night, so that they could get all of their wishes in before he headed back to the North Pole to do his finishing touches. Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family!

WWE

 

As part of Donovan's Christmas, I took he and his best friend, Jake to the WWE Wrestling event that was here in Tallahassee on Sunday. They had a wonderful time, we told them on Saturday and so they spent time making posters that they took with them and we got them each a tshirt at the event, which they have already decided to wear the first day back at school. It was such a blessing to get to take them, they had so much fun.

A Few I Missed

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple pics that I missed from my cell phone from the Savannah trip, you can see Natalie tasting the Muscadine Cider in her own wine glass, boy she really thought she was something else. And Natalie petting Butterscotch before our carriage ride. Natalie relaxing on our bed in the Marshall House, it was really a beautiful place, I would suggest it to anyone wanting to stay in Savannah, and of course Natalie and I after our 6am wake up call.

Christmas Cookies!

 

 

 

We started our Christmas baking last night with gingerbread cookies and fudge, we have a couple more recipes tonight and then it will be time to package them all up and take them to the kids wonderful teachers. We have really been blessed this year, the kids' teachers are just phenomenal, we couldn't have asked for anything better. They are both really enjoying this school year, and I can't help but put that on the teachers they have, Mrs. Pearce and Mrs. Strickland are just WONDERFUL!

Donovan's School Christmas Play

 

Donovan had his school Christmas play last night, he was in the chorus. They did a wonderful job, it was a very sweet story and I'm so glad he was a part of it. I'm so proud of our little man.

All dressed up

 

 

 

It is not very often that I can get the kids all dressed up for pictures, but Donovan had his school play last night and he was in the chorus, so I was able to get these before we left the house.

A night at the ballet

 

 

 

 

Saturday night, we decided to go and see the Savannah Danse Theatre perform the Nutcracker ballet, none of us girls had ever seen it, and so away we went. It was beautiful, the orchestra was amazing, and we all had a wonderful time. After the ballet, we decided to go and have a nice dinner at the Olde Pink House, the food was delicious and there was a woman that was walking around and singing at the tables. Natalie didn't quite know about all of that, but she loved just being one of the girls. I really have to say that she amazed me this weekend. We were constantly on the go and doing all sorts of new things, and she was such a trooper, never complaining, and besides the short spell of crying because she didn't want to go on the tug boat across the bay, she went along with whatever activities we came up with. I'm so proud of Natbug. What a great weekend we had, I think we are going to start planning one for next year.
