We love Uncle Drew

Bronte' and Liam having a grand time with Uncle Drew at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Our Yeller

I don't know if you can hear him from there, but he's the loudest one in the class. Kills our ear drums 3 x a week... the Masters praise him for it though. Someone wishes they had a sticker stripe for being the loudest!

Christmas Eve's Eve

I didn't have to work the Friday before Christmas Eve, so I was able to plan a play date with our awesome neighbors, Gavin, Preslie, and Lindsey. We went to Airborne and we watched the kids have a blast getting out all their energy. It was nice to get to know Lindsey even better as I listened to her life story. What a woman. I am blessed to know her.

Here are the kiddos doing their thing...

Another perk of having a Friday off work, I was able to take Liam to the 4pm Tae Kwon Do class. I am glad we were able to attend because after the kids did all their warm ups, Master Kwon had a Christmas gift for all of them! GAMES! They played capture the flag and dodge ball!

Warming up...

First was capture the flag... what a riot watching those little ones duke it out!

Liam was defeated by Zane in that round.

Here is Liam cheering for the other matches.

Dodge ball... Liam was the last one out on the second round. He is one nimble kiddo!

That kid has got game!

Tree Trimming and Tae Kwon Do Milestone

So it's been a month of Tae Kwon Do and Liam has been working very hard. It all paid off today when he got his first sticker stripe on his white belt. I was so glad I was there to see him get it and celebrate with him. First thing we did was call Daddy!!! (Two days later he got his yellow stripe and the same excitement ensued!)


That same day we thought it was about time to put up our Christmas Decorations. Liam was a HUGE help and we got it all done! He is such a cute kid (in need of a hair cut.)
