Every year we do a fun excursion over Christmas break, last year we went on the Palestine Polar Express.  This year we went and spent the night at the Gaylord!  It is beautifuul! We left after we got out of school on Friday.  this picture is the atrium, full of lights, trains, and Christmas trees!
 Somehow all my pics got out of order.  This is Haley up and ready to go to Charlie Brown!
 Our little photographer in the making, Haley takes great pics!
 It was super cold in the Ice!
 Dustin loved the ice slide!

Girls of Grace Parent Peek in

What an awesome program Girls of Grace Dance is!!!  Haley learns dance but she also learns the kind of girl God wants her to be.  Today we were allowed to watch  what a day of practice is like. 
They danced around with all of these pieces and at the end they put it together to be a heart!

They have been talking about serving others, so each girl served her paretns a treat of cookies!


These year she got the ornament "gentleness" because of her gentle spirit!

SANTA has come to town!

One of our neighbors has a christmas party every year and Santa always drops by to see the kids.  It worked out great becuase we have been so busy we had not made it to see him yet.  Haley and Austin loved him.  Jack...not so much!




Santa was very generous and gave all the kids a gumball machine!  They were very happy!

Haley is 6

It is official, we have a 6 year old living in our home!  What a blessing our litttle 5 lb 5 ounce baby girl has turned into.  She started out so tiny and dependant on us and now, she is still pretty tiny but she is all about doing things on her own.
She woke up to pink balloons all over her floor!
 Here she is with her cute new haircut!
Princess and the Frog party.

 Her hair all cute and curly!
 Haley and Halle in their matching outfits.
 Loving her new bedspread from Mimi and Gramps
