Santa Claus is coming to Town!

The kids were so excited to put Santa's plate of goodies and a Diet Pepsi out this year. They decided that Santa gets tired of milk so he was getting Diet Pepsi at our house. The kids had asked for a trampoline this year and just knew Santa was going to full fill their order. Christmas Eve weather was about 35 degrees and raining. Very high winds, but Santa was very true to the wishes of the kids. The only thing was Santa and his elves left the trampoline box in my garage. Oh, well the kids do have a trampoline. The first time they jumped on the trampoline, it was snowing! Yes snowing in Winfield, AL on Christmas day!


After looking at everything Santa brought and opened presents from Mommy and Daddy, we all got ready and went to Nana and Pop's for Christmas. Jack got a metal detector, Julia got a baby with a Moses basket and a baby walker and Savannah got clothes and new boots. We had a great Christmas.

First MSU Basketball Game

On Tuesday, December 22 we took Savannah, Jack and Julia to their first MSU basketball game. The team is pretty good this year and expected to go pretty far in the NCAA tournament. They loved the game. Too bad we can't get tickets to a game at the Hump! Maybe one of Trey's customers will offer us some again this year and we will actually be able to use them.

Williamson Christmas

Monday, December 21st we celebrated Christmas with Trey's parents and sister. The girls got raincoats, rain boots and umbrellas. They are precious. Jack got a marsh mellow shooter. We had a great time with the Williamson family. Kelly, Chris and Noah went home late afternoon. Walter grilled steaks for us for supper. After dinner, the kids roasted marsh mellows and played with some sparklers.

Society Hill Christmas

Sunday, December 20th we celebrated Christmas with the extended Williamson family. We had a great time with everyone. The kids got way too many gifts. The adults play dirty Santa. Fun is always to be had when you hang out with the entire Williamson family.

Mikell Family Christmas 2009

Saturday, December 19 began our Christmas celebrations for 2009. We celebrated today with Becky's family. This year we had a new baby to play with. Trey's first cousin Kimberly baby, Lyla Claire is 6 months old. Everyone had a great time holding and playing with her, especially Savannah and Jack. She is a doll. Trey's other first cousin on this side lives in Washington D.C now and did not come to Christmas this year. We all got to see him on web cam. Another great time this year is that Chris came home from his tour in Iraq today. He is going to be home from Iraq for Christmas.

Christmas Pageant at Church

The kids dressed up in Biblical outfits during congregational singing on Sunday, December 13th. Savannah and Julia were angels and Jack was a wise man. I love seeing the kids celebrate the real reason for Christmas!

Jack's 1st Grade Play

Jack's 1st grade school play evening performance was Tuesday, December 15th. Jack was a reindeer in the play this year. Jack was not super excited about wearing his costume. Being that "A Chrismas Story" is my dad's absolutely favorite Christmas movie and we have watched it about a million times it was easy to compare Jack's facial expression to Ralphie's when he pulled the reindeer costume out of the bag. Well, at least it was not a pink bunny rabbit costume he had to wear. Jack did a great job with his line as well as the reindeer dance.
