The Woody Family: December 2009

Blair Witch moment

Our Wise Men are having a Blair Witch moment thanks to Olivia.

Lauren and Olivia each have a mailbox, which they decorated, for Aaron and I to leave special gifts for them. Poor Charlotte's is still in the wrapper. We were using it for the holidays but I think that we may use it throughout the year too. Our mailboxes are from Valentine's Day. Of course I found them on the clearance rack. The idea came from Emily Rose and her family. Her blog is Simply Vintage Girl. The actual post about the mailboxes was from last year. You can read it here. Maybe one day I will make mailboxes for them like Emily Rose and her family. I am not really sure how I found her blog but I do read it every week and I have been following her for a while now. Emily Rose takes beautiful photos and her sister Breezy is a fabulous artist. You should check out their blogs.

4 adults, 3 kids, 1 van and Christmas lights

We all piled into our van for the Callaway Gardens Fantasy in Lights. Aaron and I, mom and dad and all 3 kids in one van. It was close. I drove while Nanny (mom) sat in the front. Lauren and Olivia rotated sitting with her in the front. By the end the were both in the seat with her. Aaron was in the middle row with Charlotte. Poppy (dad) was in the back with Olivia. We had cookies and chocolate to munch on while we drove through the gardens. Want to see the craziness?

You know this was inevitable right? Changing a diaper in the van. Nice.

Friendship soup

Olivia's school had their annual Friendship Soup day and it did not disappoint. The soup was great (partly because all of the kids helped) and the muffins/desserts were delicious. The kids come in with their chosen pilgrim hat or indian hat. Miss Olivia was an indian this year.

2009 Christmas Card

This year for our Christmas card I took the kids outside on an unusually warm day for a few pictures. I really thought that with 3 kids I would be outside for a while or I would have to take pictures over a few days to get a decent photo. Well lo and behold I only took 5 pictures and one of them was wonderful!!
