Christmas in Davidson

Ate (more) pizza at Fuel, heard some cool bluegrass music, met up with Tonya and her crew, saw a live nativity and animals (camel, goats, miniature horse and cow), got to sit in a firetruck, made an ornament, and heard some great singing (Dicken's carolers and Babershop). Very enjoyable and festive evening in Davidson! (I do not take good night time pictures!)

St. Alban's Spirit Night

Wednesday night was St. Alban's Spirit Night at Procuitio's Pizza in Cornelius. There was a great turn out and we enjoyed seeing a lot of our school friends and eating pizza at one of our favorite places!

Painting Pottery

This morning I took Fletcher and Cam to Meg-Art in Huntersville to paint some pottery. They did great and had fun with paint and brushes. Cam used every shade of blue they had on the shelf, while Fletcher's taste was more varied and he used many, many colors! After the pottery place we walked around the fountain at Northcross and saw the geese. I got nostalgic today because I remember taking the boys on this same outing last year at this time and realized how much they have changed and grown!

Thanksgiving!

Hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving in Cincinnati, Ohio with Ed's sister and her family, Ed's parents, and Great Gram. We all had a great time catching up and eating wonderful food. The kids loved playing together. Cathy and Louis took us to one of their great area parks, Sharon Woods, on Friday and we all had such a great time that we went back on Saturday. We got back to Huntersville at 3 a.m. this morning and may need all day to recover from the trip back home. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Fletcher and his cousins, Emily and Caitlin, and the rest of the family enjoying each others company. We are thankful for such a wonderful family!

Sunday Outing

We were feeling really indecisive Sunday so we called our friends, the Harrington's, to find out what they were up to. They were having and indecisive day, too, so Tonya and I made a decision: we took the kids to Beaver Dam Historic site (hadn't been there since Chris and Tonya's wedding day) and then to Roosevelt Wilson Park in Davidson to enjoy some fall weather, the beautiful fall leaves, and each others company. It was a nice outing for us all and Tonya and I got some great shots of the kids. Here are a few of my favorites (you may see something similar in your Christmas card).

Danielle's Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Here are some of the wonderful photos that my friend, Danielle Anthony the photographer took of Fletcher at Carrigan Farms in October. Love them! Thanks, Danielle!

New Old Chairs

My Mom got four new old chairs herself so she brought me her two old old chairs and so now they are my two new old chairs! I love them! Don't have a place for them now, but hope to one day.


Fletcher never wants to have his picture taken (until I'm taking pictures of something else), so here is Fletcher in a new old chair.
