Thomas played Joseph in his Christmas Program at Day Care this week. It was a precious program...And the costumes were great.

The Best Christmas Present Ever

Last night Thomas participated in his first Christmas Program at our church, they have been practicing for several weeks, and he has loved learning all the songs and getting the opportunity to be involved. I am so thankful for all the people that give their time to make this possible for our children. We have some of the most patient loving teachers at our church who are creating such wonderful experiences and memories for our children.

After the program was over last night...Thomas and I read some Christmas stories before bedtime. We really had a wonderful day celebrating the true reason for the season.

A Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood...

We had a great and very cold evening at Dollywood tonight...with the Flynn's!

And no trip to Dollywood would be complete without a funnel cake...

The lights were so beautiful

Christmas Decorations

Here are a few pics of our Christmas decorations...

Happy 5th Birthday to Thomas

We celebrated Thomas' 5th Birthday at Spin City Roller Skating. He picked a pirate ship theme for his cake and decorations. It turned out so cute. He loved it.

Thomas proudly shows off his wheels...

Limbo...

How low can you go Birthday Boy???

Brian needed a little help getting steady on his feetJill was just the one to give him the little push he needed...

Titus and I thought it would be fun to try and skate together....well...not so much. This is how it ended up...!But don't worry... We had Lots of Laughs...and someone a little too quick with the camera...but No Injuries :)

And after we left the party we stopped by Grandmother's house to show her Thomas' new toys, share some birthday cake with her and to let her give him his presents.

I can't believe my baby boy is already 5 years old.
