Christmas and Santa!

We had a special arrangement with Santa this year and he came on December 26th. Gary came down for the festivities and a good time was had by all! Kendall's big Santa present was a doll house and Luke's was a Hot Wheels race track.

Thanks to everyone who sent presents. We tried to get pictures of all the great gifts but some of them didn't come out so well. Here's the ones that we though were worthy of putting on the blog.

Who would have known that Luke's 4 dollar Zhu Zhu pet would have been such a hit...

This was a really cool present Gary brought. It made crystals that grew overnight.

It was almost bed time and we told Kendall to smile for the camera. This was the best she could do :-)

Kendall's First Trip to the Dentist

It was her first trip and she was very brave! She did so well that they were able to even do her first fluoride treatment.

Christmas Day in Savannah

Gotta love our Savannah weather! Merry Christmas :-)

Book Fair

I had to work at an Armstrong Preview Day (a recruitment event) so Jen took the kids to the book fair. The big hits were the "reading dogs" and the different masks they got to make!

The Stahler's sent Kendall some sidewalk paint for her birthday. We were waiting for just the right time to open it and we finally found that time. Kendall loves it!!!

Halloween!

Halloween was big fun. We carved pumpkins, the kids got lots of candy, and we had a pool party on Sunday.

Luke drew a cat on this one and I cut it out. He was very proud of his artwork!

We were so busy during the party that I didn't get any pictures. Here's what it looked like just before anyone got here:

First Swim

So we weren't actually planning to swim. There are no chemicals in the pool and there isn't a heater, but the kids started playing in the fountains and getting wet. We told them to go ahead and put on their suits, never thinking they would get in the (VERY cold) water. We'll, we were wrong....

Since its our pool we told them not to go potty in it. This is Kendall's attempt to go in the yard :-)

A Day With Daddy!

Jen and her mom went on a girl's trip so Kendall and Luke got "Daddy Time" from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. Saturday the kids made their own pizzas (Daddy made his own, too!) and they seemed to have fun.

Kendall put on Luke's boy PJ's and they both thought it was a hoot :-)
