Merry Christmas!

This was another 80 degree southern Christmas so
sadly there as no fire in the fireplace but we did put one
on the tv! We spent the day just the 4 of us and it was
so relaxing! We feasted on a blueberry muffin breakfast
and then a gumbo lunch. We opened gifts and then the kids
played all day. We finished the evening at Gram and Paw Paw's
house so the kids could open their gifts. It was a wonderful
day!

Christmas Eve

We started our Christmas Eve with a movie date. The girls
saw Moana and the boys saw Rogue One. We went to
church that evening, Great Granny's house, and then finished
the night with Avery sprinkling her reindeer food.

Red Velvet

While we had Christmas in Lafayette we
came home with a new family member.
We said a sad goodbye to Silver Bullet and
a big hello to Red Velvet. Avery choose the
name! Aaron picked Nosebleed but I liked
Red Velvet better.

Christmas in Lafayette

Avery's Class Party

Avery had a PJ day and Christmas party
in her classroom. The kids make crafts
and decorated cookies.

Star Student Breakfast

Aaron was chosen as Star Student in his
class for the month of December. It was
extra special this year because his best friend
Jackson and Cousin Elizabeth were also
chosen in their classes. It was great to be
able to celebrate the morning with both of
them.

Preschool Christmas Pageant

This will be Avery and Brooklyn's last year
to participate in the preschool play. This
year Avery was so hoping to be picked to
play Mary and she got the part! She sang
a solo- "Away in a Manager" in front of the
large parent crowd and even when the music
cut out at the end she finished strong. We are
so proud of her!

R&L Carrier Bowl

It was Scout night at the R&L Carrier Bowl
at the Superdome this weekend. The boys
were able to get into the game for free and
stand on the field during the national anthem.
They were so excited to participate and we
stayed for some of the game between
ULL and Southern Miss.
