Blake has a piano recital twice a year and the Christmas one is my favorite. The church is always decorated amazingly and the music is wonderful. These kids are so talented. I might be biased, but I think Blake is a wonderful piano player. This year he did the Grinch theme, so he played "You're a Mean One Mr.Grinch" and "Where Are You Christmas". He did such a great job an dI only cried once because it was so beautiful. Haha.
Our annual Grinch Night continues....and sadly this will be our last Grinch Night all together. For the past several years we have had the Jarrell boys over to our house for some grinch fun. We also go and watch the Jeep parade together. Kinsley also loves hanging out with the big kids on Grinch Night.
This will be our last one because the boys are moving to Texas in 2024. We will have to do a virtual Grinch Night or something create next year to still celebrate!
The Rolesville Christmas Parade is one of my favorite traditions and we have been doing it since Blake was a baby. Each year we go and sit in Memommy's front yard and watch the parade pass by on Main Street. This year the parade hit different for me emotionally. We still sat in Memommy's front yard, but this year Memommy wasn't there. It is our first parade without her and it is still super hard for me to realize that.
However, the kids had a great time and I they loved kicking off the holiday season with all the floats and canady and music. There was so much to see. And I know Memommy was looking down on us and smiling. The parade was one of her favorite things to watch - she loved people watching!
Normally Joyner and I go to Angus Barn around Christmas time. We did not get reservations this year, but we did take the kids out there to experience the lights and see inside. We also got the lucky apples, the warm gingerbread cookies, and the amazing cheese spread for our family Christmas gatherings. It was so great. I think we will be able to take the kids to actually eat there soon. :)
We got our tree a little early this year... we are just THAT excited about Christmas. We went to our same spot - Booger Mountain to pick out our perfect tree. Everyone had so much fun picking out the tree and getting it all decorated!
We also have several other fake trees around the house. It is starting to look a lot like Christmas!!!
We have so much to be grateful for this year and every year!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Joyner blew leaves today and we may have had more fun than we intended too. Who knew Kinsley would like leaves and a leaf blower... so of course I took the most adorable pictures of these two kiddos.
