We will laugh at this someday....right???

Anna and Drew with Santa. Can't you tell Drew was having a blast!!!!! Anna told Santa that she wanted a pack of gum for Christmas. I think that she got so much for her birthday that there isn't anything left ......
Here is the card she made me at school. It had a neat little poem on the back. Every time she gets in trouble....I will look at this and remember she used to be soooo sweet!!!!
Decorating cookies at her school party
She loved every minute....
Drew thought he was a "big boy". He needed to sit with the older kids.
Sorry, I haven't posted pics of Anna's party (her birthday was December 12). I am attempting to make a slide show. We had a WONDERFUL weekend celebrating.......

I've been tagged

I was tagged by my friend Cindy. I am suppose to tell four things about this pic....

1. Here is Drew only hours old
2. He only weighed 4lbs 15oz at birth
3. He was probably 1lb of hair ( tons of black hair)
4. He was only 16 inches long (he was preemie size)

The story of Jesus

Tonight Anna's preschool performed their annual Christmas play. It was the story about the birth of Jesus...... and Anna was MARY!!!! Her best friend was Joseph. I was very concerned that she might drop baby Jesus on his head....but she did GREAT!!!!

Decorating for Christmas

We had a blast decorating for Christmas on Wednesday!!!! Anna's favorite part was OF COURSE...... decorating the tree!!!!!! Drew's favorite part is taking down all the ornaments.
Enjoy the pics.......

Loving the Library

Today I had to take Drew to the hospital for some outpatient labs (long story). So Andrew decided to take Anna to the library. Andrew said she had a wonderful time!!!!! Apparently, she sat in the floor and read books to herself most of the time!!!! I am so glad that she loves to read. Here is a pic of her library adventure......

Spending time with one another

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Not much to report. Anna had her Thanksgiving party at school on Thursday. Anna was such a great host to Drew and I!!!! She had made a place mat and a turkey made out of flower pots. After our wonderful lunch we enjoyed a skit that Anna and her classmates performed.
On Friday, I decided that we would stay home and just enjoy each other's company( I was pretty worn out b/c Andrew had been in New York all week). We decided to paint. This is Drew's first time painting. Enjoy the pics........

David Keith

Does anyone know who David Keith is.......

He was in the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman". He must have season tickets a few rows down from where we sit. I thought this was too funny not to share......

This is what happens when your team stinks.....

you fall asleep.....Andrew and Anna headed up to Knoxville for the UT Homecoming game. Andrew said "Anna had a blast"!!! She loved the marching band the best!!!! Her next best thing was Smokey and the cheerleaders. She eventually fell asleep in the 4th quarter (she still takes 3 hour naps). Also, I want to wish Aunt Susan a Happy 39th Birthday!!!!!!

The PRINCESS and the DINOSAUR......

Happy Halloween!!! Anna and Drew had a BLAST!!! Drew went to a few houses but basically stayed back and handed out candy with Andrew. Anna on the other hand met up with her friends and we went to EVERY house in our neighborhood. We went to about 68 houses. She ran almost the whole time holding hands with her friends. She never became tired. I on the other hand was exhausted. Anyways, Happy Halloween to all!!!!

The best part of all....eating the candy!!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Drew man above tasting the pumpkin. He loved it!!!!

We carved two pumpkins tonight. Anna carved her pumpkin first. She loved drawing the face and helping Andrew carve out the face. She wasn't too wild about the pumpkin goo in the middle.

Big boy was very interested in the pumpkin goo....

Trying to scoop out the seeds......
