Let it snow..Let it snow..Let it snow!

McKinley had a great time playing in the snow!

Here is he with a BIG snowball to throw at mommy!

We made a snowman......a very small snowman. We put him by our doorstep!

Finally, we warmed up by the cozy fire!

Andrea's Baby Shower

Come rain or shine

sleet or snow

a baby shower we will throw!

Here are some pictures from Andrea's baby shower. We had a good time and the snow added an extra special touch!

(Crazy Girls- you can right click and save these pictures if you want!)

Here is our mommy to be, and guest of honor I think this is Molly Margaret trying out Baby Brown's new UGA stroller! ( we thought that Molly and Bonnie's daddy would really like this picture!
Here is Andrea and her mom and sister

and the hostesses (we tried to get a picture on the porch with the snow in the back, but it didn't turn out to good)

It's Snowing!!!!

Teachers go crazy when it snows! At the first sight of snowflakes, I packed my stuff and quickly got out the door to get McKinley. I wanted him to enjoy the snow while it lasted. Here are some pictures of McKinley playing in the snow.
( I hope that I can post more tomorrow when we get to stay home from school!)

Happy New Year!!

We had a house full of kids last night to welcome in the new year! Holly brought an old box of hats and noise makers from some of our earlier parties........the kids had a blast playing with them as you can see.

We were so glad that Addie could join us this year.....this was our 3 or 4 time spending New Year's Eve together! She was the only one who stayed up until midnight.....she lasted until about 12:04 and then we asleep on the couch!

We were especially excited to welcome our new comers this year....Bonnie Kay and Molly Margaret! They are always the life of the party!

Kate was so funny with this horn. Once she learned how to blow in it and make noise that is all she did for about 10 minute! She is such a party animal.

Christmas 2007

Santa was very good to McKinley this year! Here are some pictures of our morning.

yummy.....a candy machine!

a new tractor to dig and pick up things....

and there is that green t-rex we were wanting.......

check out the new bathrobe........

Merry Christmas!!!

A Green Slide

All McKinley wanted for Christmas this year was a green slide and a t-rex dinosaur. The green slide was too big for Santa to bring Christmas Eve night, so he brought it a little early. Here is McKinley playing on his new playset. He loves it!

Here he is going up the ramp...... and down the slide.......

here is a movie clip....click on the picture.

Kids Christmas Party

A couple of nights before Christmas, we had some friends over for a little Christmas get together.

Here are the twins, Bonnie Kay & Molly Margaret opening their gifts! Kate was really excited about her dress up stuff!
and here is McKinley playing on his sit 'n spin from Holly, Scott and the girls!

Preschool Christmas Program & Party

Today was McKinley's Christmas program at Preschool. Some of the pictures are far away, but it is pretty easy to pick out McKinley.....

Like this one, he is the one doing the opposite of everyone else! He would rather see what is going one behind him that sing facing the crowd!One of the songs that they sang was "Let it Shine", he decided to try and eat his candle. Miss Susan was nice enough to take it out of his mouth half way through the song!

We finished up the program with a party in his classroom. They did a book swap. Here he is opening his book.

Fantasy of Lights

We went to Callaway Gardens last night to see the lights and Santa Claus. We were not sure if he would be scared of Santa this year. He was very impatient in the line waiting to see Santa. He kept saying "It's mine turn to see Santa!" When it was his turn, he walked right up to him and started talking. He also took a great picture!

Here he is telling Santa what he wants for Christmas......a dinosaur and a green slide

Gingerbread Train

I got this great idea last weekend. I thought it would be fun to make a gingerbread house with McKinley. While we were at Target we found a gingerbread train. I thought "Wow, how perfect! This will be so fun!" So we bought it and set of for home for some family fun! We couldn't stop laughing because all the candy and sides of the train kept falling off! Here is what it was suppose to look like...........

Here is what our train.....or train wreck looked like.

Not exactly picture perfect, but McKinley had a blast. He could not understand why he could not take the train downstairs to play with it!
