Miley family Christmas...

I guess our weekly blog posts are becoming longer than a week in between updates! I don't want to make a new year's resolution that we'll get back to weekly, but I'll just say we'll try!

Since the last post, we've gone down to Brewton for the Miley family Christmas. Jason's family was there too. When we got back, Hannah gave me a B'day week... which was awesome.

At school, Raegan's class sang Christmas carols to the home office (my work). Raegan had practiced and was ready but kind of freaked out just as they started singing and had to run out to me and Hannah watching in the audience. I have a little video of that but since it's sad, we won't post it. Instead, I'm posting a video of when we had Raegan sing some of the songs at home. Also, you can see some of the shots from the caroling & of the family staying for lunch.


The kids caroling (minus Raegan - since she ran to us)

This slideshow is from photos that Lesley Kerr took of us (& edited). She is also our baby sitter... and she is great! If you're interested in getting her to take some pictures, checkout her website: http://www.lesleykerrphotography.com/.

Christmas Fun

Lots of Christmas fun this week! We went to Vinings Jubilee last Thursday with our awesome babysitter, Lesley and her boyfriend. Lesley is a very talented photographer (lesleykerrphotography.com), and she photographed us (pics to come soon). Afterwards, we went to dinner and then tried to go to the Vinings Jubilee Christmas tree lighting, but there were no parking spots within a mile of the place! On Saturday, we joined the Cohens at the Mable House Christmas Festival for some holiday acitivites. Sunday was the CFA Open House, and Tony runs the Santa pictures there every year. It's always a long day for him, but he does a great job getting pictures for all of CFA's visitors. This year, he took 299 pictures. I went to a Cookie Exchange in our neighborhood that day, and Mimi watched the kids. I came home with almost 100 cookies and we've been stuffing our faces all week! Mimi came to Raegan's school on Monday to decorate Christmas ornaments with Raegan. Christmas shopping is under way, but we've still got a lot to do. Raegan has already asked if she can open all the presents now, and Hudson enjoys pulling ornaments off the tree and busting them on the floor.

Thanksgiving & Christmas decorations

This past week, we spent most of the week and weekend in a cabin in north Georgia with Hannah's family. Everyone made it except Aunt Heather & her family. We all had fun and it was a really nice cabin. Our kids were a little unruly a few times but were mostly good I think.

We had Thanksgiving meal there, we played games, enjoyed the hot tub, played with the kids, took family photos, exercised, went to Blue Ridge for a Christmas festival, watched the Iron Bowl, and just had a good time! We don't often get to spend multiple days in a row with Hannah's family. I think everyone had a good time and I know Raegan & Hudson were sad to leave!
