PJ's with Santa

We attended the annual Junior League of Columbia's PJ's with Santa and met Conner and Andrew there.  The boys had fun playing and eating.  The boys spent a lot of their time out at the Little Gym play area while the moms shopped for Christmas gifts, which was so nice!  We ended our night by Coleman graciously sitting on Santa's lap and requesting a tuba and a football helmet.

All Aboard!

We drove to Bryson City, North Carolina to take Coleman to the Polar Express.  This was our second year attending this fun event.  We boarded the 5:00 p.m., and the conductor punched our tickets.  The train then departed toward the North Pole as we drank hot chocolate, ate muffins and cookies and listened to music from the movie.  We then were read the story of The Polar Express.  As the story ended we arrived to a lit up area with elves throwing packages and Santa sitting on a chair.  It was the North Pole!  The next thing we knew, Santa entered our train car with an elf and a bell for each child.  We then sang Christmas carols on our way back to the station.  Coleman was asked by the crew if he would like to stand up front to sing his favorite song.  Of course his request was the "ABC's".  Everyone sang the "ABC's to his lead.  Before we arrived back to the station, Santa paid us another visit, and we were given a photo opportunity.  Finally we arrived back at the station and headed down the street to eat dinner.  We all had a wonderful time!

The End of the Season Soccer Party

We celebrated the end of the soccer season at the Hawn's house.  The boys played in a bounce house while there.  After the boys bounced around, they were presented with their soccer trophys.  We then ate hotdogs.  What a wonderful soccer season!

Coleman was in admiration of his trophy!

Happy Birthday Callahan

We celebrated many birthdays this Fall that did not make the blog, and I apologize! In the beginning of November we celebrated Callahan's 5th birthday. It was at his house and he had a dinosaur dig, a marshmellow roast and several other cool dinosaur things. Thanks for including us Callahan!

Coleman's First Day of School

Coleman's first day of school was August 30 at McGregor Presbyterian. This year, Coleman will be in the 3 day 3's class and the 2 day 2 1/2 year old class. We are so excited because he teachers will be Miss Kellie and Miss Suzanne. The first day of school was much harder for mommy than it was for Coleman. There were no tears!

Halloween at School

On the Friday before Halloween, parents were able to volunteer to help with games and to watch the cool parade that the kids were in while wearing their costumes.  I had so much fun hanging out with the kids and parents in Coleman's class.  After school was over, we met Skylar and her mom at McAlisters for lunch.  What a fun day!
