Christmas
Well another Christmas has come and gone and I am happy to say that ll of my decorations are put up! I love having them out but when it is over I like to get things back to normal. We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids had so much fun. JC was not that great with all the traveling back and forth between grandparent's houses, but he is just 7 month old. I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves on this one so enjoy the photo book and read all the captions!

Christmas Fun
Well it is Christmas eve and we are home from celebrating with Jim's family. Santa will soon be arriving and we will spend the morning at home seeing all the fun stuff we get and then pack it up and head to my mom's to celebrate with them. I am not going to say a lot in this post, I mostly just wanted to get pics of what we have done so far so that family can see them.
Here is a slide show of some of our holiday fun so far!
Here are some pics of JC in the bathtub tonight playing with his new bath turtles that Memaw gave him!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day! Remember that Jesus is the reason for it and that the reason He was born was to die for you!
Merry Christmas from the Mayos!

Playing Catch Up
Well it is now December 16 and I have not updated the blog since December 1! Can you tell we have been busy! Even now the only reason I am on here is because the mattress pad is not all the way dry yet for me to make the bed!
Where to begin.... I guess we will start with the 2009 OB Christmas Parade. This was JC's first ever parade.
As you can see from all the layers that were worn it was a cold parade! JC actually slept until the Fire Trucks came so in reality he missed most of the parade. He was not scared though. Drew is the one who greatly dislikes the fire trucks and all the noise that they make. He sat in the chair with his hands over his ears when they came down the road. We had a great time and it was a wonderful way to start off the Christmas holiday season!
Last Friday was the highlight of the season so far, Drew's school program. He actually had the lead role and a solo! He did so awesome. It is not in a video format for me to blog but we do have it on video. He has such a great singing voice and he was so confident. We definitely have a little star on our hands.
The last week has been a difficult one. JC and I have both been pretty sick with just a bad cold. We are both on the mend now, just dealing with coughing and stuffy noses still. We had all the best intentions of taking a family picture in front of the Christmas tree just after getting it all put up after Thanksgiving and it just didn't happen. So Sunday the boys were both dressed in warm winter sweaters and I decided that we would do our best to get one of just the two of them and get picture cards ordered. So here are the results.
We actually went with pictured #2 for the Christmas card. We will be picking them up tomorrow and I will be doing my best to have them in the mail by Monday, we will see! If you do not have yours before you see us for Christmas I promise we will hand deliver it!
Last little bit for tonight is some pics of JC sitting up and playing. He does have the boppy pillow around him but he is starting to get the hang of being upright and leaning forward and regaining the upright position. He is actually sitting here on the bed next to me while I am working on this post. Of course some of the pictures have Drew in them, he is an absolute ham and cannot stand to have me take pics of JC without him!
I know there are so many other little things that have happened that I am forgetting to blog about. It has been a rough start to December. The other secretary that I have worked with for 3 years resigned to take another job. It is a wonderful opportunity for her and I am so happy for her. However I do miss her friendship and I certainly miss the help! I am hanging in there and getting things pretty caught up. There is very little time for any extra stuff right now though. So I will do my best to keep you posted and up to date on all Mayo happenings over the next few weeks. We are greatly looking forward to Christmas and all the fun and family time that is a part of it. Also this being JC's first Christmas is a very special time for us. So my encouragement to all of you right now is to take the time you need to enjoy your Christmas season! Remember that Jesus' birth is the real reason we celebrate and the reason He was born was to die for you! That is the ultimate Christmas gift, the free gift of salvation. If you have not accepted this precious gift from God please do so now, we just don't know what tomorrow may bring.

Drew and Kathryn Singing in Church
There were a few technical difficulties at the beginning, so it takes a minute for us to get started. He did a great job! I think he is ready to be The Littlest Christmas Tree next week for the school program!
