Well....first we had some airport meltdowns. This only after being in the airport for about 20 minutes. You can imagine the faces Shane and I were exchanging as we anticipated what the next 8 hours were going to look like.
These pictures of Carson were taken right before Juliann and Derek Hough walked right passed us. I have to admit...I was a bit star struck. I felt like I became just a little bit cooler that day just from seeing them. They are pretty people. :) Anyway...sidebar.
The next morning we spent a little time in Gulfport before making our way into Jackson.
The coast was foggy, foggy but very beautiful.
Man this is a fun month! We have been busy busy...wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. The boys went shopping with Shane during my piano night and came home and excitedly told me where they went and what they bought...for me of course. It was cute.
We have been watching Christmas movies and singing Christmas songs. They have been introduced to the original Rudolph and Frosty movies. Have you watched those recently?? Holy ancient!!! The abominable snowman is a sight to see! Anyway, they love them and now know very well the classic stories and songs that go with them. I used to quickly pass over these particular songs when they came on the radio and now I quickly turn them up and squeal with delight alongside my boys! Life really is more fun through the eyes of a child. It is especially cute to listen to the boys sing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" as they drive their hot rods.
We have been baking! 116 cookies to be exact. We delivered lots of "Merry Kissmases." I knew this would be fun but I didn't anticipate how much C & C would enjoy it. It was like Trick-or-Treating all over again. They couldn't run up to each house fast enough...and fought over who would get to knock and ring the door bells. They would loudly exclaim "Merry Christmas" as each door opened. What a great family activity. We finished off the night at "Papa Joe's Pizza." LOVE that place. The pizza was divine and the cottage atmosphere was complete as our seats were right in front of the fire place. We came home, drank some eggnog and called it a night.
