We celebrated Christmas at Brent  & Rachel's on Saturday December 22nd.  This started the Holiday!  Rachel had made delicious Chili and we all contributed with ham and cheese balls and deserts.  It was a great time for us to spend with them.  Grant and Madison had a great time playing with Lilli!  Lilli gave Grant and Madison both iTunes cards, which is perfect for them!  They both enjoy playing on their iPods so that was the perfect gift!

Sunday & Monday we celebrated again with Aunt Wilma, Danny & Carolyn and Great Granny!  They got lots of wonderful gifts! They didn't need anything, but enjoyed all the gifts they received.  I have some pictures to share of some of their gifts.

Merry Christmas!  We are very  Blessed!

Madison digging away! Looks like she has a whole
stack left to open!  Grant and Madison are both
very blessed!  Thanks for all their gifts!

Grant racked up in Sweatshirts this year! 
He finally posed for me!  Thanks Grant!


Madison got some new iPod covers!
 Thanks Dad for the Justin Bieber t shirt!



 

Madison liked to pose with most of her gifts.  
She and Grant both got headphones for their ipods.  
Hers were pink and Grants were black. They are cool
they have a built in microphone and volume control.


 One of my many scarfs I got this Christmas!
I think scarfs was the #1 most gifted item this year!
I do love all of my scarfs!


Eric got new shoes!  

 
Grant opened up his case first, I think he was a little 
disappointed that it was empty!

 Then he opened up his gun (Ruger 10-22) he was thrilled!
They went out and shot with it that afternoon! 






Great Granny opening her gifts with us!
Merry Christmas Great Granny!


Grant got a year membership to X-box Live Gold!
He was excited to play online with his buddies!

Here are some pictures from the morning of Christmas!
Santa was good to them both!

 Madison got a Justin Bieber skin for her ipod.

 Grant wouldn't pose, but he got two new Xbox games!
Madison got new boots from Santa!

 They racked up on itunes cards too!  
Santa gave them both more iTunes cards! 

 
Madison and Grant got Dance 4 for Xbox and Kids Dance! 
It is a lot of fun and great exercise!
Thanks Carolyn and Danny!

We had a wonderful Christmas!

Grant's Christmas Guitar recital

Grant had his first guitar recital on December 9th at Columbia Academy.  He started taking guitar lessons last year after his piano teacher had to quit giving lessons.  He had always loved the guitar and loved listening to his Granddaddy and Uncle play tunes for him.  He has done a great job and having a piano background and able to read music, it helped him pick the guitar up quickly.  He loves playing!

During the recital he played "Silent Night and Jingle Bells" on the guitar.  He did a wonderful job.

 Taking some pictures before the recital begins!
Danny and Carolyn were there to support Grant!

 Grant getting ready to play his songs!

 Grant and Mr. Carl Griggs
 Great job Grant!!
You did a great job!

Madison's 2nd Grade Class made 3 local children angels have a great 
Christmas instead of exchanging class gifts!   This is a picture with the
 gifts that were wrapped for their angels!  
They know it is more blessed to give than to receive!



The school had their Magazine reward trip scheduled for the Friday before we
got out for Christmas Break.  Madison and Grant got to go because they 
sold enough magazines!  Thanks to all who bought Magazines from them! 
 K-3rd grade went to Chuck E. Cheese and 4-6th went to Laser Chase and 
ate at the Food Court at CoolSprings.  I have a few pictures of bus ride and 
some at Chuck E. Cheese.  I was a chaperone for Madison's group, so I didn't
get any pictures with Grant at Laser Chase.  They both had a great time!



They loved hanging out on Bus with their buddies!







Ready for Chuck E. Cheese!
 Madison and her Best Friend Ella!
