Our Annual American Fidelity "after Christmas" lunch was awesome. We tried, between children's needs, to catch up. We decided we were in great need of an all adult get together on brookside! Thanks Sophie... You were a great photographer!
McKailey, Maddox, & Tinkerbell thought the ice was awesome. Although, Tinkerbell did try to find a way across the patio without her feet touching for too long!
We had a fabulous Santa Party! Cindy Kirkpatrick was so kind to create some gingerbread houses (not to mention haul them into the clubhouse in the CRAZY wind today) for all of our special guests to decorate. Santa appeared as all of the children sat on his lap for photo opps. Santa listened as all of the children read their wish list to him. Maddox even 
disclosed his desired christmas present to Santa (choo choo table). McKailey was in pure delight on Santa's lap. Thanks to all of the moms that contributed to make our first annual Santa Party a huge success. Heather Hart and Robin Knight did a fabulous job on the clubhouse decorations, Bonnie McCulley sent out the adorable Santa invites, Aaron Tallman was our official photographer (wow, he can coach football & photograph little ones). Creed did an outstanding job on cleanup & managing to get running water for us for the day.
We left the party and headed straight to Urgent Care, once I realized McKailey was running a fever. She was a trooper and never complained; however, she had that glazed eye look by the end of the party & I slowed down long enough to take her temperature. As I reflected upon the party and realized everyone was swapping frosting and licking off of their knives as they decorated their gingerbread houses, I realized, she sent every one of our guest off with an extra special Christmas present today...... Exposure to STREP THROAT!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
Maddox, Did you say "O" for Outlaws? Go outlaws? Or .... Is that a yawn. Is this football game boring you?
Our Cute Little Squad
McKailey has started her first year of cheerleading! Her little squad is the cutest bunch on the field! We are a little partial! My friend Aimee Fowler and I are co-coaches. We are having a blast with this group of girls! They are so sweet and eager to learn the cheers. We have a VERY VOCAL group of girls. The other teams always tell us they can hear our girls form their side of the field. The second game out, a little girl did a cartwheel and accidently kicked Mckailey in the mouth. She was bleeding; however, overall she took it like a champ. I explained to the girls that the football players were suppose to be the ones gushing blood on the field!
Maddox turned two Saturday, August 2nd. This sounds so cliche', however, we cannot believe how quickly the last two years have passed. This little guy has been such a blessing to our family. His big sister McKailey is so good with him. We are so blessed with our awesome children. We have figured out that Maddox will be the kid... just out for a great time. He is always ready to laugh and be silly. We love you little guy!!! Happy birthday!
