Christmas in Maryland

A few pictures of Christmas in Maryland!


Christmas Eve at Sherry's house!




Corey (our nephew) with his mom (Sherry)




The big man with his grandmas




We were able to visit Kirby's father.
I'm glad we took some time to see him.

2nd annual cookie exchange

Last year, I made a kid-friendly recipe to take to the first annual NMBP cookie exchange. This year, I decided to stick with the kid-friendly theme again. It didn't turn out so good though. Well- the cookies turned out amazing! (oreo popsicles) It was the work put into it that made it not so good.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was filled with many emotions! We had dinner for the two of us- turkey breasts, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a glass of wine. We had a dinner and enjoyed relaxing with each other.

GO BLUE!

Last week we had a faculty and staff flag football game for a PTO fundraiser. "Coach King" really had us practicing like we were about to play for the 2008 Superbowl! It was a cold night, but none of us cared... we had a great time tearin' it up on the field!



It was a serious game... coin flip and everything!



This was the "C squad"! These were the ladies I played with on the field.






And of course we had a cheering crowd of 6 and 7 year olds! One of them even brought her pom-poms!









We had a great time!! The announcers and score keepers gave some extra credit, so the game ended up a tie! We are already looking forward to our spring kickball game!

Bodkin's Halloween Party

Just a few pictures of us dressed up... Can you guess what we are?



Here are the hosts- They played their parts VERY well! What TV show are they from?

Hearts' Stories

Hearts' Stories is a program that began in our school a few years ago. If you get some time to check it out, it's great. http://www.heartsstories.org/

My class has been doing it since the beginning of the year and we love it. One of our first adult guests was Mr. King (as the kids call him). They loved it! He played his guitar to a song our class had been practicing. They had a great time and learned so much!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

1st Halloween as newlyweds-

We don't get many trick-or-treaters (as in only 3... haha) but we've had a good time carving our pumpkin together.
