Abby had her adenoid surgery a couple weeks ago, and it went off without a hitch. Above is a picture of her just after the procedure, still asleep from anesthesia. She slept on and off for about two hours, and as you can see from the pictures below, by the time we left the hospital she was back to her old fun self!
Stiv was "stuck" in this position for 90 minutes holding the sleeping Abster.
This is one utterly cool makeshift balloon!!! Medical school really came in handy here.
Who is ready to leave the hospital?
We began Thanksgiving Day with the Atlanta Half Marathon. Later in the day, the Shores had us over for Thanksgiving dinner where we made up for all the calories burned in the run earlier. The kids had a blast running around and making a mess of the place. Abby and Ariel had fun taking a tub together at the end of the night.
Jackson and Dad spent the Sunday after Thanksgiving setting up our Christmas tree. Jackson was a big help this year, but enjoyed climbing the ladder the most. The directions claim that the process should only take 15 mins... we are not sure why Stiv and Jackson were at it for 1.5 hrs.
The kids enjoyed the Christmas Festival in downtown Tucker... Highlights were roasting (and eating) marshmallows and getting their picture taken with Santa.
Jax and Catie with a present...
Oak Grove CDC hosted a "Night in Bethlehem." There were several "village shops" open for business as well as craftsmen and food merchants. There were even tax collectors strolling through the nativity scene asking for taxes or tokens. Joseph and Mary cared for baby Jesus in a stable, surrounded by shepherds, angels and live animals. The live animals were a big hit with all.
"The Bag Lady"... another one of Catie's great outfits that she selected all on her own.
Jackson and "The Gobbler"... check out the video below.
"I should have been Jewish!" Jackson enjoyed playing the dreidel game and cleaned house!
Catie is taking her spice making very seriously...
The girls love their new shark swim caps. They wore them around the house pretending to be sharks, only they were both roaring like lions????
Abby and Catie had their Christmas Program at Oak Grove. Abby and her class "sang" Ring Those Bells. Abby seemed a bit confused, but did figure out how to shake the bells by the end of the song.
Jackson was in the middle of a big game of skeet ball. If there is another way to loose money faster, we would like to know what it is... Gotta love Chuck E. Cheese!
The kids spent most of the weekend misbehaving and doing a poor job of listening, so we sent them to bed early with no "midnight" snack. They obviously were sending us a message that they did not like the turn of events because the next morning we found a "dead" horse in our bed!
