Super Busy November/December

 The annual tradition of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever took a twist this year with Sidney playing Gladys and Lily playing Alice.  Both girls had stellar performances!

Since we were going to be home on Christmas this year, we decided to put up a live tree.


Scott cashed in his birthday present - a flying lesson!





Parades and puppy dogs...

The girls and Scott marched in the Knightdale Christmas Parade to advertise the play.

Mommy Camp -  Scott went to Arizona to visit Gregg for 5 days.  The girls and I had a great time at "Mommy Camp"  5 days of non-stop fun. 

Day 1 = Zoo - there were only a handful of people in the zoo that day, so NO LINES and it was awesome! We got to take our time and look at the animals.  We even got to see the gorillas, chimps and lemurs be fed.
