I guess it is time to update the blog

I have had many little occasions to blog about, but I haven't felt like doing it lately. I guess you can call me lazy! The children all had their Thanksgiving Feast at school last week and dressed up as Indians. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to accompany this day. When Brandon walked into Emma Tucker's classroom she asked him where the camera was. She remembered that he was supposed to bring it, but he didn't. I had to be with my class that day so he took the day off to accompany her to her feast.

Last Tuesday, we went up to Bass Pro Shop in Atlanta to see Santa Claus. I didn't get my appointment this year at Phipps so we had to look elsewhere. The children didn't cry this year, but still had no desire to sit in his lap. They sat in chairs in front of him and he snuck around and stood behind them. Brandon and I are so excited about the Christmas season that we keep finding reasons to do Christmasy things! Sunday, after church we headed to Macon to the Bass Pro Shop there and see Santa again. However, all the Santa passes had been handed out already by the time we got there. The boys love Bass Pro Shop and they have great boy toys there. I guess I am going to have to start liking this store too.

Last Thursday, Mom and Brandon took the children on the square of Covington for the lighting of the Christmas tree. I had a meeting at church and met them later that night on the square. I found them at the live nativity at the Methodist Church. They children LOVED it and never wanted to leave. They didn't care that Santa was down the street, they just wanted to stay with baby Jesus. How do you argue with that! Once again, I didn't get any pictures, but I think Gamma did. Emma Tucker adopted a baby doll at the local doll store and she named her Anna. An elf came and took to her Gamma's house until Christmas. It was really cute because she had to answer all these questions and promise to take care of her baby. When her baby needs shots or gets sick she can take her baby back to the store for check-ups.

Emma Tucker is starting to like watching movies and we are having so much fun doing so. Sunday night, we all put on our PJs and piled up on the couch to watch Polar Express. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and enjoys spending time with your family!
