Isle of Palms - Christmas 2013

We had such a great time with Kate's mom's side of the family at Isle of Palms for Christmas.  The weather was mild as you can see by the shorts and t-shirts the boys are wearing!  What a blessing to spend time with family at a beautiful beach!

Reading with Uncle Ben

Hugging Piper - we love our cousins!

Christmas at Home - 2013

Before leaving to spend a week at Isle of Palms with Kate's family we decided to have our family Christmas at home.  We read Luke 2, had a big breakfast, opened presents and just spent time with our little family of 4.  As you can see Trevor needed help opening gifts, and an occasional reminder not to eat the wrapping paper :)

Jared's Christmas Program - December 2013

All of the 3 year old classes dressed up as angels for Jared's school's Christmas program.  Jon made Jared wings and a halo, which Jared tolerated as he really does not like dressing up.  We're so thankful that we can send Jared to a Christian preschool!

Family Pictures 2013

First, we are thrilled with how well our family pictures came out this year!  We owe a huge thank you to our talented sister-in-law Sarah for taking these pictures (SO Photography and Creations).  It was a little chilly when we took these, but the boys did great!  Thank you to Matt for getting them to smile for so many pictures :)

Santa Claus Spotting

After church in Mt. Pleasant with Pra Babtsi we had lunch in a little strip mall area.  Santa Claus was sitting outside after we finished lunch.  Jared was shy of course, and Trevor was scared.  It was a fun photo opportunity for memories!

Thanksgiving Feast - 11/22/13

Mommy and Daddy had to work, but Auntie Beth and Trevor went with Jared to his school's Thanksgiving Feast.  Jared had a great time eating a special lunch with his friends!

Playing with Daddy - 11/13

Trevor's Birthday Celebration

We already had an early birthday celebration for Trevor at Jon's parents house, but decided we still wanted to make his day special.  The weather was nice enough to go to the park, then we enjoyed cupcakes at home with Uncle Pete and Aunt Beth.  Trevor loved every minute of it!
