Christmas Outing

We've been a little crafty and creative around here...Avery cannot get enough of drawing!  Every night he is usually up at the table drawing dinosaurs....Sutton tries

 He made a book this week by cutting out toys from sales papers and gluing them on some paper that I had stapled.  He told me what words he wanted on the pages so I wrote them.  He reads this book like it is the best book ever written!  He loves it and is so proud!

Today was Christmas shirt day at Avery and Sutton's preschool.  Instead of going out and buying shirts, we made ours.  It was fun and easy!  I just looked up a few ideas on pinterest.  I spend $0 dollars....Just some t-shirt, paint, an Avery foot & Sutton hand.

They were pretty proud to wear their shirts this morning.

This evening, we took them out for supper and then to see SANTA!  They both did good.  Sutton got a little wild while waiting in line, so we gave him a nice BLUE sucker to occupy him for a few minutes....and he had a nice lovely BLUE smile for the pictures.

.....note to self....no blue suckers before pictures!!

"Ummmm, yeah I've been good....I promise!" 

After Santa, we went to Enchanted Forest to look at all the AWESOME Christmas lights.  We go here every year and every year the boys LOVE them.  Then, Brian's boss took us to see a man's house that goes absolutely nutso with Christmas decorations.....This is just a regular yard....

Yep....please look at this place.  I have never seen anything like it.  The smoking Santa sitting there owns this place.  It was unlike anything I have EVER seen...no kidding!! 

 

Wow....Christmas decor overload!

There's more!!!

More pictures!!  I've go to post as many as I can for all my friends and family to enjoy...

ENJOY!

I just got word that their plane has landed so they are on their way to THEIR home!

THE END

Mr. & Mrs. Polk

 My sister got married!!  Her and now husband went to St. Thomas last week (and are still there) to exchange their wedding vows and enjoy a honeymoon like none other!  I joined them for the weekend in the Carribbean.  WOW is all I can say.  I have never ever in my whole life seen such a beautiful place.  I WILL GO BACK...someday I hope!!  My sister's best friend Jamie, myself, PJ's brother Mikie and his girlfriend Sam were all able to be there for this amazing day.  I cannot put into words how amazing, beautiful, wonderful, and special this wedding was. We also had lots of fun just hanging out, dancing, eating dinner, and looking at the view. 

 Getting ready for her big day!  We went and laid on the beach for a while, got in the pool, and then off to get ready....so exciting!!

 PJ's mother went to be with the Lord in September at 49 years young.  She was one of the most AMAZING women that I have ever heard of.  Anyone who knew Linda Polk will tell you what an amazing and wonderful woman she was and life she lived.  Not to mention the two boys she raised and loved with every ounce of her being.  Lindsey got this lace and pendant of Linda's for her bouquet.  It couldn't have been more perfect.  The "N" is for Linda's maiden name, Nelson.

 They came to pick us up and take us down to the beach to meet her groom!

 They had PJ looking out at the ocean until Lindsey was ready to walk down to him.

 The ceremony was so good.  The man who married them had met with PJ earlier (we didn't know this) and had PJ tell him the love story of him and Lindsey.  So, to begin the ceremony, he started with how Lindsey and PJ started kindergarten together and went on from there and how they fell in love and all that good stuff.....I.WAS.A.BAWL.BAG.  What a perfect ceremony!!

Our Mimi sewed in their wedding date with blue thread on the inside of Lindsey's dress for "something blue."

 Here are a couple of pictures of the resort.

Here we all are at dinner one night... 

 Iguanas would just be walking around...so cool!

Congratualations to PJ and Lindsey and I hope you have many, many wonderful years of happiness together!  Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!
