Christmas Party

We went to a Christmas party with our old lifegroup this Sunday night. Matthew loved getting to play with all his old buddies including Caroline and Amelia again. Here's some cute ones of Matthew and his boy buddies and Libby and her two little girl pals. We all miss our old group but are enjoying getting to know some new people and really like the short drive :)

Visit to Santa

We saw Santa Claus in Gastonia on Saturday afternoon this weekend. He was so nice and Matthew loved sitting on his lap. He thought it was funny that Libby was on his lap too. Matthew didn't really understand to tell him what he wanted but loved it when Santa gave him a candy cane. You can see a picture of how much he loved the candy cane here. He ate the whole thing.

Playgroup

This morning we had Elijah, Andrew, and Sadie (and their moms of course) over for playgroup. Matthew loves getting to see them most weeks. It's so sweet seeing him look forward to playing with his buddies. Here's what I hear on the days we get together "play Andrew, and Cornky (Courtney), Play Jijah, n Cornky, and Sally, and Saie (Sadie), and Jijah"-repeat over and over and over!!!

I think Libby enjoyed herself too today :)

We had a great weekend in WV this weekend. It was busy though. We saw my mom's family in Sophia and Dad's parents in Beckley. Then we went to the big town of Newton (sarcasm) to stay with "Johnny and Queaks" as Matthew calls them. Matthew is loving the kitchen Johnny gave him and the toys he got from my aunts Carol and Karen! It was an early Christmas!

Here's pic from last Thursday when Clint had off work-he and Libby were sleeping great, one of Matthew getting some new balls from Aunt Karen, and another attempt at the Christmas card pictures. We've got a good one now that looks a lot like this one- but this isn't it!
