Wonderworks!

This was a very interesting place. We all had a great time.

Pigeon Forge

Pigeon Forge had some great Christmas decorations. This was the hotel we stayed in. They had a glockenspiel ( large bell instrument) that looks like a large coo coo clock.

Asheville

For Thanksgiving we took a short trip into Smoky mountains. The first stop was Asheville to the Grove park Inn. They had a gingerbread house decorating contest. These houses were amazing. Our neighbors entered and now H is inspired to do it next year.

Ls preschool performance

L performed with her class today and sang a song. "Every step I take I take in you Jesus". She did so good. She wasn't really scared. She even encouraged her class mate to sing. He clearly was not happy to be up there. I'm so proud of her.

Christmas at the mall.

We took a trip to the mall one day with some friends to check out the life sized Polar Express snow globe. It the the engine room from the movie. We were able to walk into the snow globe and it was snowing. H ran right up to Santa to tell him what she wanted. L hid behind the stroller but told me to go tell him she wanted a diamond castle carriage. I enjoyed getting a peppermint mocha and laughing with one of my best friends. It was such a nice way to start the holidays.

Camping with the Frontier Girls

I went camping this weekend with the girls. We had a great time but it was 30 degrees and I forgot my sleeping bag. We still had a good time though. There were vines growing on some trees that made swings for the kids. We also roasted smores. This first picture is of the troop leader and L. We made great memories.
