Pack Meeting

We are done with Cub Scouts for at least 2.5 years.  We had a great Cub Master which I have to give props to.  He did a fabulous job and we appreciated all his hard work he put into each pack meeting and into Cub Scouts itself.  Thanks to all of Braxton's leaders as well.  He loved going.  His last pack meeting they had a graduation ceremony for him.  It was also talent night so he got to play the piano for them since he is learning to do so.

What do these pictures below have to do with Pack Meeting?  Well, I was snapping pictures trying to figure out a good setting to have it on.  These were some of the pics I took while at Pack Meeting.  Just thought I would include them in.  The first collage is so sweet...Now the second one, maybe not so much.

Raja Bell Meet and Greet

Corey and I won passes to a meet and greet with Raja Bell...Some may ask who that is.  He is one of the JAZZ players for those that need to be clued in.  :)    Each pass let two people in. I was going to go but let Corey take the three oldest to meet him. The kids had a blast talking with him and getting their pictures taken with him. They also got individualized autograph pictures of him. 

Holiday Happenings

I really need to try to be better at this.  I just haven't been motivated to keep up my blog. Which is bad because it is like a journal for me anyway.  Well here goes:

Below are just some pics I took of my girls one day after church.

We have Christmas Eve at my Grandpa's every year. Every once in a while it is held some place else. But this last Christmas it was at Grandpa's.  We acted out the Christmas Story, had story time, singing time, and ate and visited with one another. It was great fun.

Opening gifts at my parents home.  We didn't get pictures taken at Corey's parents because by the time we got in and settled all the kids had opened their gifts already.

Below are pictures of Christmas morning at our house.  The picture at the top left is where the Reindeer ate the carrots we left for them. They made quite the mess. Santa ate his treats and left a really wonderful note.

We didn't exchange gifts with my side of the family this year. Instead the adult children decided to have a White Elephant exchange.  It was quite fun and entertaining so I think this will become a tradition with us.

We went to my brother Reid's house for New Years Eve.  We hung out with them last year too.  The kids all made it until midnight this year...I mean ALL the kids made it. Even my little one year old niece who just wouldn't fall asleep. The collages below show all the fun we had that night.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! MAY YOU FIND HAPPINESS AND JOY THROUGH OUT THE NEW YEAR!
