Christmas in July

What a fun evening we had last night.  A fellow family at Church invited us to a Christmas in July celebration with 5 other families.  Our kids had an absolute blast.  Maggi thought of everything right down to the turkey and ham.  She even had a Charlie Brown Christmas tree displayed for the kids to decorate.  As they decorated, the kids were suppose to share a Christmas tradition.  All my kids could think of was opening Christmas presents and eating candy out of their stockings.  We are going to have to work harder this year with our traditions.


They read "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and even had a snow ball fight.  Yes, you read correctly, a snowball fight in July.  She had marshmallows for the kids to throw and boy did they throw them.  They went  absolutely crazy.  My kids LOVED it.  I wish I had lots of pictures to share, but I forgot my camera. Here are some pictures that Larry took with her camera.  I hope you all enjoy.

What a fun idea! It looks like you guys had a blast. I love a Charlie Brown Christmas!

I've been thinking how important traditions are and am wondering what my kids would say our traditions are 20 years down the road. It makes me want to create some more really good traditions. I personally loved going to Granny Roberts for Christmas Eve and as an adult now, I am so sad that we really don't have that anymore. I mean, we've tried but it just isn't the same without Granny and some good fiddling and banjo playing!

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house.  I was making dinner for the missionaries.  No my dinner was not scary!  I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards.  I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce.  Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do.  Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me.  To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying.  Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up.  He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth.  He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early.  I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears.  But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby.  Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her.  Her lower lip had completely swollen up.  This was our first experience with a...
