Christmas Events

Can "ya'll" believe another Christmas is just around the corner? We have been busy preparing the house for the holidays. Check out the pictures below...

Joel's mom made us this beautiful stockings. Everyone that sees them raves at how beautiful they are. They are huge and look great hanging from our fireplace.
Above our fireplace we have this large cut out. Normal people put their TV, ours is strictly there for my Snow Village. Joel made shelves so that we have a place for all my pieces. If you look at the very top Graceland overlooks all of the village. The king reigns over all:) My mom bought this one for me when we first moved to the Memphis area. Each year I receive a new piece from Joel. This year I have had added some of my mom's pieces and so we had to annex the top of our entertainment center.


Josh has been home with the chicken pox all week. It has actually been nice having him home. we mad sugar cookies one day and decorated them the next day. As you see above Belle is decorating her star with a big blob of green frosting.


Today the kids decorated their gingerbread houses.

The Christmas parade--Once again Josh was in the Christmas parade. This year it was for his Cub Scout Pack 234. Joel volunteered to pull the float. So of course we had to include a picture of his truck, his love! I think he was more excited to have it in the parade then the kids. HAHA!

The kids spent the morning at Home Depot decorating the trailer. The did a great job. Josh is in the middle of the picture, right above the Christmas tree someone drew. Josh ended up walking the entire parade route handing out candy. That evening he broke out with Chicken Pox and Strep throat. We laughed that he infected all of Olive Branch in a matter of an hour!
