Some highlights from our holiday season this far. It's been busy, but it's been awesome!!!
Snuggling with Lucy Ann at Story with Santa, love these two!
Probably the best pic with the best Santa we've ever had...thank you, Mimi!!
As soon as the elf showed up, this decided he needed in on some elf action. He rocked this TD hat all season...even when ONE bell (the horror) was pulled off it at School Days.
Christmasville Parade, 2013. Best view in the house ;)
With some best little buddies...
Annual Christmas Tree selection at Penland Tree farms was the finest we've seen in years!
The boys TRYING to get the star on top. I was totally outvoted in this episode...not a fan of that.
We made a couple of trips to Hartsville this season and had a BLAST both times!
much they love each other!!!
Oh yes, some beautiful portrait reflections presented by Chap of the infamous KDR. Her cap page patch doll, vs. still life painting, vs. high school mug shot. Identical, right??
Christmas dinners with friends were fun...and busy! We had several wonderful get togethers, but this is one pic I captured (it's tricky with the Jammie's, candies, sugars, etc.) pictured: 4 of 7
Gifts for my team...
Picture gift for my family! 
Christmas afternoon- celebrating the holiday in Greenville with the Gourleys! 
Merry Christmas to all!!!
He tried to be nice, but sometimes sassy would sneak in...
Another one of our favorite friend get togethers....PJ's with Santa!!!!
Not being in the classroom this year definitely had an affect on my spirits...so I did the best I could without. One morning, W and I went to visit all my kiddos from last year at IHES to deliver treats and hugs. That made me happy :)
Another morning, during our office staff development meeting, we invited a local elf to come sit on our conference shelf so she could surprise/startle all the fun-loving folks in our department. It was a hit...sure do love this lady!!
Another day, I was asked to co-host a holiday fashion show at YRES. This was hilarious. Sure did love my co-host! :)
Our second trip to Hartsville. Officially celebrating Christmas with the Rollings family!!
Monster hats were a huge hit!!
Getting ready for round two was fun. Buying and creating gifts for our family was easy with the pics we had made from our session with Lindsay Thalinger...love her!
Gifts for my team...CBL celebration
Getting Santa ready!
Making cookies with this Cookie Monster (Santa is lucky there were any left for him!)
Special moments after our Christmas Eve service.
Christmas morning, Christmas magic :)
And of course playing with our awesome new gifts outside Grmaps' house.
We are so grateful and blessed to be surrounded with family, friends, and love during the holidays. Thank you to everyone for making this a special year for us, we are truly thankful for our blessings.
