MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Hope everyone is excited and in the Christmas spirit! I'm very much in the Christmas spirit and so thankful for all of God's blessings. It's really hard to believe that Christmas is upon us. Zachary and I have enjoyed all kinds of Christmas activities in the last few weeks. We went to see the Bearstein Bears perform Christmas carols, visited McAdenville to see the "City of Lights" and visited the Billy Graham Library to see the live Nativity scene and all of the lights and trees. I also joined Zachary last Friday at his Christmas party at school. He gets very excited about the Christmas trees and lights but especially about the gifts. ;-))

We are leaving for SC in the morning to see our family. I don't have to go back to work until Monday! Yippee!!! I have lots to do before leaving though. I have several things to cook and I have to finish packing and load the car. Fun stuff! ;-)) At this point our car is going to be so loaded down that we may have to ride on the roof. ;-) I guess somehow we'll find a way to get everything and everyone in there.

Lastly, what a miracle it is that I have finished all of my Christmas shopping!!! This never happens to me. I am usually finishing up on Christmas Eve. Yay me. ;-) So now to my next big venture. I'll be putting Zachary's tricycle together tomorrow night (more than likely around midnight). I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees it. ;-)


Many wishes for a very merry Christmas to you and yours!

Love,
Rebecca and Zachary

I've been a bad blogger...I admit it!

I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated. Things have been out of control. Z has officially hit the terrible two's....even though he's 2 1/2. Man, it just hit about a month ago and it's been crazy. Potty trainig is NOT fun at all!!!!!! He is catching on well..but my biggest grief is with daycare. I'll spare you the details but I will say this: I'm getting ready to have a word with them tomorrow. They're going to have to do better.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was great!! Now we're gearing up for Christmas!

So, what have we been up to?! Last weekend, my dad came up and we had a wonderful time with him. We are SO blessed to have him in our lives!!!!!! He is the greatest dad in the world! He got here on Friday evening. We went to McAdenville, which is a small town about 30 minutes from here, to see the Christmas lights. At Christmas time, everyone in the town decorates and the town pays for everyone's electric bill. It's been a tradition for years! People come from all over to see the lights. Saturday evening we went to the Botanical Gardens to see the Christmas lights. It was awesome as well...again VERY cold! Zachary got so excited when he saw all of the lights. He was running around all over the place. I took about 100 pictures! Inside, they had live entertainment. The Ice Princess was walking around...and there were two jazz musicians playing Christmas music. We were outside for about an hour so when we came in, we headed straight for the hot chocolate. YUMMY!

Ok, I have to go to bed. I stayed up to finish watching the Panthers game and they spanked Tampa Bay...WHOOO HOOOOO!!! I'm SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to calm down though...because I've got to get some sleep!!

I will update again soon!
