I found a few pictures on my phone from Christmas and new year I thought I would add.

It's Christmas!

 It was a LONG wait for Christmas day at our house, but it finally came! The kids were SO excited!

 Santa ate the cookies and drank the Coke the kids left out for him (yes, Santa drinks Coco Cola... there are pictures of him drinking it on all the billboards around town, thanks Atlanta).

 Nathan wanted a bow and arrow, he got a Nerf style one and was very excited about it.

 Anderson got a RC BatBot, when he realized what it was/did he was very excited.

 Tessa got her first baby doll.

 The kids all got some play-doh

 Nathan also got walkie talkies

 Lego from aunt Heather

 Classy kid

 Build time!

So happy!

 What a great Christmas we had. We have been trying to teach our kids the true meaning of Christmas, and I think this year Nathan understood. We have been so blessed as a family this year and we are so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ, His birth, ministry and atoning sacrifice for each of us.

Kennesaw Elementary Christmas Party

 Nathans Kindergarten class had their Christmas party and I was able to go help out (due to medical circumstances the "room mom" had to step down and I took over for her). I thought it would be fun to make photo booth props and take pictures of each of the kids (we tried them out on Tessa and AJ first). The class had four different centers they had to go to, with something to make/do at each center. They made reindeer food, snacks for Santa and a cute sock snowman. It was a lot of fun and I am glad I was able to go and share it with Nathan.

We had a fun photo shoot with grandpa and grandma Anderson while they were here. True personalities really showed!
