We went ice skating with Jill, Kelsey and Collin. Cooper loved it instantly, especially once he found that contraption to push around that helped him stand up. Carter hated it at first because he spent most of his time on the floor. He finally learned to grab onto the side once he started to fall. Kelsey enjoyed it, too. But, Collin was a bit more apprehensive.
Ice House
Christmas morning...
The boys always get 3 gifts from Santa because Jesus got 3 gifts. Carter's 3 gifts were a basketball goal, Yankees shirt set and a Sonic Slam tennis game. Cooper's 3 gifts were a bike with matching helmet, Toy Story 3 Leapster game and a pitching machine. Even Raleigh had a stocking full of treats! Grandmommy & DD came over to see their loot!
Christmas Eve Traditions
We always attend our church service on Christmas Eve. Then, our tradition is to let the kids open one gift each and they get to choose which one. Carter's first gift of Christmas was Wolfpack basketball shorts and Cooper's was a Toy Story operation game.
Christmas Eve with my family...
We had Christmas at the Thompson's house this year! We take turns each year having it at each of our homes. We always eat, then gather the kids up to read the real Christmas story from the Bible. Then, all of the kids exchange presents and it's like a mad house, but so much fun! 
Happy birthday, Nana! 
Holiday activities
We always go to Reidsville before Christmas and spend a few days. We go to see the lights (and this year, Santa) in Yanceyville. We also open stockings at Grandmommy & DD's house. At dinner, DD always has a special surprise for each of us at our seats: $50! 
More of Hermie...
When we got home from Reidsville, Hermie was on the tree and had unrolled the toilet paper all the way from the boys bathroom to the tree!
Here he is in Cooper's stocking with some nativity silly bandz and a note
