Holiday Happenings...



Luke and Amelia posing with Twitch, our Elf on the Shelf.  Amelia is holding the giant Hersey bar because her teacher rewarded her with it for having the most Accelerated Reading points in the entire 5th grade (around 400 students).  Her class also had the most Accelerated Math points, not only in the entire 5th grade but also in the history of our school.  LOVE Amelia's teachers this year, what a blessing they are.  
Luke was all decked out for school, bringing his glad tidings with him.

We squeezed in another trip to Bellingrath Gardens to enjoy the millions of lights.  

We went with our friends the Gordons this year and we got to bundle up, it was COLD!!

Halfway through walking, I looked at Addison and realized that she is in fact wearing the EXACT outfit Amelia wore to Bellingrath Gardens the first year we ever went.  And I mean, exact-same jeans, snowman fleece, coat, hats and mittens.  I guess it is our Bellingrath uniform.

So pretty.

Amelia's class Christmas party with Mrs. Manning.

I host our December book club and we did an ornament exchange.  It was a fun night with a great group of ladies.

My friend, Jenny Gordon, and I took our girls to see the Nutcracker at The Saenger Theatre.  A few of the children's friends even performed in the show as mice and unicorns so that was extra special.  

Love my sweet girls.

Amanda and Addison, best buddies.

While at the Nutcracker we ran into our friends Turner and Oden from The Children's House, love to run into our friends everywhere we go.
