Early Christmas Celebration

Friday, December 19th was a early release day for Elijah. So as soon as he got home from school, we left heading to Mississippi to have an early Christmas celebration with Byron's family. It was a very nice visit but the weather for the drive there was horrible! Because of the constant rain and traffic, the trip took 3 hours longer than normal. We were just thankful that we made it there safely.

Gingerbread House

The week before Christmas Byron had to take a quick business trip to Alabama. So before he left for the airport, Elijah and him made a gingerbread house.

Santa 2014

We had a fun time going to see Santa this year. 

Holiday Lights at Constellation Field

We wanted to do some new things this year for the holidays. So last Saturday night we went to see the lights at Constellation Field and we are glad we did. It a lot fun, Elijah had a blast, and an added bonus was it was cold, so it felt like the holidays.

 I LOVE this picture of Elijah!

 Working hard 

Love these two very much!
