Here is Arbor Springs... all lit up with luminaries a few nights before Christmas.

We took our annual trip to Stone Mountain to look at the lights. As you can see, they were beautiful, although the kids were too focused on how cold it was to enjoy the scenery. We realized that we have true Georgians as children. The low 40's barely registered for Steve and Ann, but you would think the kids were walking around in sub-zero temps.

Here are the girls with the Snow Angel. Steve and Jackson refused to be a part of this picture, but the girls thought it was cool!

Decorating cookies was one of the indoor activities the children did not have to worry about braving the "bitter" cold to take part...

We attended Christmas Eve services with the Wilsons at their church. The children were all brought up on stage to receive a candy cane. What the picture does not show is Catie trying to walk off the stage with the entire basket of candy canes for herself... so much for the season of giving.

The kids made some S'mores after the service.

Daddy and Abster...

Santa brought some new stockings on Christmas morning.

Abster got sippy cups and a baby in her stocking. She was our only child that was excited by non-toy gifts.

New Big Wheels!!

Jackson did some shopping at "Holiday House" at his school, Midvale Elementary. He bought Abby this cute stuffed animal which she loves.

Jackson got some night vision spy goggles that he has started to use after "lights out" to continue with his bedtime reading.
