We stayed at The Guest Cottage in Hendersonville, NC for the first weekend in December. We loved this property and had a wonderful weekend!

Here are the inside pictures of the Guest Cottage. We loved it and it was so cozy. I loved all the Christmas touches.

Christmas/Holiday Party at School

The boys both had a Christmas/Holiday party at school a couple of days before the break. JL's class played games, made ornaments and ate some great food. Mac's class made gingerbread houses and Mac was the last one to finish. I was not surprised ~he ate candy the entire time.

Mac's actual birthday~November 29th~ 6 Years old

Mason was out of town on a business trip on Mac's actual birthday until around 9:30 that night. He started the day out with Cricket in his room holding candles, opening gifts, going to school ~I brought in cupcakes for the class and ate lunch with him. After school we went to Spartanburg and Gran Jan and Pop had dinner ready for us. Mammy, Grandma Walker and Aunt Wee Wee came over to eat too. Then we went to the airport and picked up Mason who was flying in from Chicago. We had a great day and Mac and JL got to spend the weekend with Gran Jan and Pop. Mason and I went to Hendersonville, NC for the weekend.

Here are 6 things we don't want to forget about Mac at this age.

1. He loves clothes. No I mean he really loves clothes. That was pretty much all he asked for his birthday and now Christmas.

2. He changes clothes multiple times a day. Again he loves clothes.

3. He loves Chef Boyardee Spaghetti O's

4. He is playing basketball this winter season and is really enjoying it,

5. He loves school and was awarded Student of the Month for the month of October. He loves math and is really good at.

6. I love his spunk and determination. He never gives up and brings so much energy and fire to our house.

We love you Mac!

Cricket is back

Our Elf of the Shelf Cricket is back for the season. He comes back after Thanksgiving and stays for the season. He has been found in some great places this year. I have not taken his picture everyday, but these are some of the boys favorites. The boys have some much fun with tradition!

Christmas tree farm

On the way home from Kentucky we stopped in the mountains and went to our favorite Christmas tree farm. The weather was great and again like last year it was such a good experience and we picked out a great tree. The boys of course wanted a huge tree, but we settled on an 8 foot tree. It was a fun stop over and it definitively breaks up the Kentucky trip. 

 

Thanksgiving in Kentucky

We went to Kentucky this year for Thanksgiving. Of course we had to celebrate Mac's birthday there as well. Diane cooked a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner and they treated the boys to ice skating and the park. It was a fast trip, but so nice. Thanks for having us Grandma and Grandpa.
