Hunter's Chorus Concert

 Hunter was pretty excited to be in the school choir this year because they sang at a Braves game.  The sad thing was...it was on Sunday so he couldn't do it.  He still hd a good time learning the songs and he really liked the Christmas program they put on. 

 The program was so good and the kids were darling.

 I'm pretty crazy about that kid.

 Their choir teacher Mr. Thomes is so great with the kids.  He was teacher of the year this year and I know why.  They all think he's awesome.

 Palmer had to be at play practice so he missed the concert, but the other boys were pretty impressed. 

This kid is the cutest!

Hunter's Christmas Tree Farm

 A family in our ward owns a Christmas tree farm (the Hunters.  Hunter kept saying it was his farm), which in itself is pretty awesome.  We headed up there to do some crafts, ride horses and get some greenery (one day we will have a live tree...not this year).  Hunter and McKay were thrilled with the crafts they made.  They were ornaments out of sawed curcles of the trunks of trees.  

 Hot cocoa was a plus (although as you can tell fromthe lack of long sleeves...it wasn't too cold :)

 The whole farm smelled like Christmas trees...heavenly.

 That Karate Kid move tends to show up in a lot of my pictures.  They had to try in on the old stumps.

 This goose was scaring the horses, so the boys (and their papa) were pretty excited to chase him away.  

 We love horses!  It was so fun for the boys to get to ride them this morning.

It was a perfectly Christmas-y day.

McKay's Class Christmas Party

 McKay had a great Christmas (or as the school makes them call it "winter") party.  

 Making ornaments.

 Reindeer food with his best buddy Garrett (you better believe we put that out for the reindeer).

 McKay's little buddy Lucas came up and asked me to take a picture with the two of them.

 Bingo

 Mini golf with candy canes and presents.

 These two are the best.  Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Catia have been such wonderful teachers this year.

Thanksgiving 2015

 We were so excited to have Grandma and Grandpa Palmer along with Mark and Nathan to Thanksgiving this year.  We have lucked out since moving to Georgia and haven't had to be alone yet for Thanksgiving.  The boys all woke up early and headed off to play in our ward turkey bowel.  Apparently it was pretty competative...thank's all I'll say about that...

 It was so fun for me to be able to cook the dinner with my mom.  

 We had them for a few days and for some reason didn't get any pictures!  We made donuts, took them to a plantation house, and the boys took my brothers to Six Flags.  Mark and Nathan had to go home early, but Grandma and Grandpa stayed a few more days.  One of those nights, he taught the boys how to play the guitar.  Hunter was especially into it and played and played with him.  He taught them the song "Stewball was a Racehorse" which is the song he taught all of my siblings when they were learning how to play the guitar.  It was fun for me to watch.

We had such a good time with our family!

McKay Kindergarten Class Thanksgiving Party

 Kindergarten is the best.  I love that the classes just get to do fun things and learn to like school.  McKay has the best teacher and has really loved his classmates this year.  

 I got to be the room parent to was in charge of taking pictures for the yearbook, so I had an excuse to come to everything and take pictures to my heart's content. This is one of McKay's best friends named Garrett.

 The treat station is always the favorite. 

 The kids could all dress up as a pilgrim or Indian.  McKay was one of the only kids who chose to be a pilgrim.  This is another one of his buddies, Caden. 

 McKay loves to write.  At first it was really difficult for him, but he has practiced and now he wants to write all day long.

The class Thanksgiving party was a success and McKay came home a very happy pilgrim.
