Christmas, Memphis and New Years!

Christmas was great. The twins got way too much! For New Year's my dad and Karen took Korey and I to the Liberty Bowl where ECU played Arkansas. We lost and it was FREEZING but we had fun. We went to Tunica, Mississippi while we were there and ate at Paula Deen's new buffet. It was AMAZING!! Next week we leave to go visit my friend Prudence and her family in Pittsburgh..we are so excited to get to visit with her and see her house and on the way back we are going through Washington DC and go to the Smithsonian and White House etc. Here are a few pics from the past month.

November & December!

Wow...it has been over a month since my last post. It has been busy around here with Thanksgiving, my birthday, parades, the Nutcracker and Christmas parties!! The twins are very excited about Christmas. They ask everyday if it is tomorrow. Last weekend the twins and I went to Raleigh and saw Disney on Ice and had brunch with Santa with Mama, Caroline, Caleb & Reagan. It was lots of fun and I squeezed in a little shopping too! Here are a few pics from the past month.

Myrtle Beach

Korey and I went to Myrtle Beach this past weekend with my mom and friends Eleanor & Alex and their son Jud and his wife Michelle. We stayed at Litchfield Beach & Gold Resort. It was really nice. The girls went shopping and the boys played a lot of golf. It was lots of fun. We ate at Tripp's at Broadway at the Beach Saturday night and it was delicious!!! Prime Rib and Ice Cream Pie....I was in heaven!!



The twins were also in Myrtle Beach but they were with my Dad & Karen and we never even saw them. They were very busy.....Swimming at the indoor pool at the hotel, going to the Ripley's Aquarium, Build-a-Bear Workshop (where she made a pink unicorn with high heels and a sequin vest and he made a turkey dressed as a policeman), Dixie Stampede, Alligator Adventure and they even did a little shopping!! They had a fun-filled weekend and came home with way too many toys!!!

This week is a busy one like normal....however, soccer is over for the season so that is one less thing we have to do! Max got a trophy for playing this year. He had a great time and even scored a goal at his last game. Callie Margaret is busy with dance and will be preforming in the Nutcracker in December.

Halloween

I am too tired for a long post but I wanted to post the twins Halloween costume pictures. Callie Margaret was a bride and Max was a toucan. They had so much fun trick or treating!!

Tired

I am always tired. I love to sleep late and I don't get to do that anymore!! The twins have to be at school by 8:00 so I am dragging myself out of bed every morning!! It drives Korey nuts. He pops right out of bed...before the alarm goes off. That is ridiculous!! Callie Margaret is just like me and Max is like Korey!!

We have been busy with soccer, dance, weddings, ECU games and lots of other fun things. Last weekend was the Seafood Festival. The twins rode rides and played games Friday night. October is a busy month for us!! I have 4 weddings this month. We are going to the state fair next weekend. I can't wait for all the delicious stuff to eat and the twins love to ride the rides!!

My dad started his chemo treatments this month. He is doing good so far. Keep him in your prayers. It has been a tough couple of months but he is doing great!!

The twins love school so far....they do not like homework. They are so funny these days. Age 5 is such a cute age. Well, I have a lot to so today so I better go get ready. :)

Parade

Today was the Beaufort 3ooth Anniversary Parade. Pop rode in the parade since at age 100 he is the oldest male Beaufort resident. The twins rode with him and loved throwing out candy. After the parade they had ice cream at the courthouse and then Korey took Max fishing at the camp. It was a great day! Callie and I had "girls time" while the boys went fishing.

Kindergarten!!

Well, the twins have started kindergarten at Beaufort Elementary. They love it. They went last Wednesday for 1/2 a day and today was their first full day! I cannot believe they are old enough to start school!! They are so excited. Here are a few pictures from the first two days.
