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!

Drew Video
Ok, so here is the story. JC had been giving Drew kisses, it was so sweet. So I sent Jim to get the camera and try to get it on video to blog it. Well Drew decided to get silly as soon as the camera was brought out. Some may not find this all together that amusing but as the parents we simply saw the beauty in the fact that one day this will completely embarrass him. I can see myself now showing his friends and girlfriends all these horribly embarrassing videos of him. That will be justification for all the inappropriate things he has done or said that have embarrassed me! Call me mean or cynical if you want, but that is my silver lining!
Too Much Time Between Blogs
Well, as you can see it has been busy! I did not mean for this much time to pass before blogging again, so I have much to try to catch you up on!
First the good stuff!
Sunday we had a baby dedication service for JC and one other baby in the church. It was a very special day to Jim and I. I think perhaps even more so now that Drew is getting more and more close to making a decision to trust Christ as his personal Savior.
I wish we had gotten a better picture of all of us together, but I will try to make that happen during the holidays.
Christmas has arrived at the Mayos!!
I know some of you are saying it isn't even Thanksgiving yet. I realize that. Traditionally we have taken today, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, as our day to do the decorating. However this year Jim and I both just felt the need to get it done this weekend while we were home and had the free time. We had a good time getting it done and feel like now we can just relax through the Thanksgiving holidays. Only one ornament bit the dust this year in the process of putting the tree together. Last year one glass ball broke and one ornament received major damage and required a lot of super glue. This year the casualty was one glass ball. Drew just wants to help so badly that he get a bit anxious and doesn't wait for help.
Sunday afternoon Jim's mom was with us following the baby dedication at church. She was gracious and watched the kids while Jim and I got the outside decor put up.
Now for a weight loss update:
I have lost just about 3lbs shy of 40lbs since giving birth to JC!! I have officialy dropped 1 pant size and 2 shirt sizes. It has been incredible to buy clothes that are not in the woman's department of the store! I did purchase a couple of pair of slacks and some blouses for work. I hope to be too small for them soon, but I had to have a few things since one of my pair of dress slacks were no longer wearable due to the risk of them falling off!! I have also been able to dig out of my closet 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of khakis, 2 dresses, all that have been too small on me for years! Now I have the great challenge of the holidays before me but I am determined to continue to work hard and even if I put on a few pounds with the holiday eating I will work it off soon after the holiday.
So I think that will just about catch you up for now. I will try to post pics and stories from Thanksgiving next week. I am going to work on a funny Drew video here in a sec and I am hoping to have a video of Drew singing in church this Sunday, if he actually does it, we will see! Also JC has started giving kisses to us! So sweet and makes me cry, I hope to get that on video and maybe some of my blog readers will get to see it for real this next week! Until next time!
