{ Harrison's 1st Grade Christmas Party }

Harrison's class had a breakfast party for Christmas.  Love that!  The teacher asks me to bring cinnamon rolls, which is super easy!

This year the kids had an unexpected guest visit them at school!  They could hardly wait for him to make it down the hall!

 SANTA!

Time for coloring in the Christmas coloring book! 

 Emma Taylor and her friend, Ali Grace, made friendship bracelets while the 1st graders partied.

It's officially Christmas Holidays!  Woohoo for that!  :)

{ Christmas in Cotton Plant }

Christmas in Cotton Plant is one of the things the kids look forward to each year.  Lots of inflatable Christmas stuff, a visit with Santa and hot chocolate.  Fun times!

Lee and Jay decided they'd seen Cotton Plant decorated for Christmas enough times, so Belle and I packed the kids off to see it again ourselves.  We all had a ball!

All these pictures were taken with my phone, the best I could do!  :)

 Emma Taylor and I love owls, so she wanted her picture taken here!

 Emma Taylor and Harrison with sweet little Landon!

After seeing everything outside we stopped in to see Santa!

Harrison even shook his hand on the way out!

So thankful for fun friends who will head out to Christmas at Cottonplant on the spur of the moment.  Fun times, Belle!

{ Yes, Virginia }

Sarah and Emma Taylor are members of the drama club at their school and for Christmas they did Yes, Virginia.  The play was adorable and they both did such a good job this weekend!

Emma Taylor the Dancing Pigeon and Sarah the City Dweller.

Sarah was also a Singing Book in the library scene!  Girl had two parts!

The pigeons did a precious dance!

 Emma Taylor is kneeling above and on the far right below.

The City Dwellers sang some pretty songs, too.

I took a few pictures of our Dancing Pigeon before the production.

 Our costume designer mom, Jessica did a great job!

We definitely enjoyed the girls in Yes, Virginia!  Yes, Virginia, there really IS a Santa Claus!

{ Christmas Concert }

Anna Grace's choir performed in the Christmas concert last night.  It was wonderful!  Our girl even had a small solo, which was beautiful.

She's singing and dancing to Santa Baby...so cute!  

She thought the dance was dorky, but we thought it was adorable!  The concert definitely helped get  us in the Christmas spirit!  Good job, Anna Grace!
