Christmas Card Picture

I decided to have the kids pose for a Christmas picture in front of the Santa driving the Lowe's Race Car that we got this weekend.. The final picture will be sent out in Christmas cards but there were many attempts... Someone either had their eyes closed or someone was putting "bunny" ears on someone!!!
Don't they look so excited to be taking the picture?? Believe me it was a battle!! Many Many Many retakes!!

Christmas Train

We decorated the house for Christmas! The boys had fun setting up the trains that Grandpa Mike gave them.

Downtown Knoxville Christmas Tree Lighting

We went to the Market Square Christmas Tree Lighting in Downtown Knoxville today. Before the event started we walked over to World's Fair Park. To get across the street we had to walk through this caged walkway, the kids thought it was neat that they could reach out and touch the stoplights.

Fall Colors

The other day, the kids and I were on the road and noticed that the leaves were beginning to change colors. We stopped to take some pictures. Today we saw that most of the leaves have already changed and many have fallen off the trees, we tried to take more pictures but CAMERA HAD DEAD batteries!! (We will try again)

Blake's Birthday Party

One of my students turned 5 today, we went to the birthday party. There was a jumping house, so the kids spent a majority of the time JUMPING!!

Fire Safety at Lowe's

At the Lowe's Kids Clinic the kids made fire engines. After they finished building the fire engines, the firemen took the kids inside the "fire house" and taught them fire safety and how to escape a burning building.
