Gymnastics Medal Day!!

Stella Ross has been taking gymnastics since August and she LOVES it!  She has learned so much and is so proud of herself each week when she does something new.  The last class of the year was awards day and everyone received their medal.  To say Stella Ross was excited is an understatement.  Way to go, Stella Ross.  We are so proud of you!!

Stella Ross' Dance Recital

Stella Ross loves being the "tar on tage" so dance recitals are A LOT of fun for her.  She especially enjoyed dancing on "tage" this year with her best friend, Ava!!

All Aboard!!

We enjoyed a wonderful family day in the mountains celebrating Christmas and a special birthday.  We started our day at the Grove Park Inn where we enjoyed a delicious brunch and took a tour of the famous gingerbread houses.  Then we traveled further North to hop aboard the Polar Express!  It was a lot of fun.  We sipped on hot chocolate and enjoyed a warm cookie while reading the Polar Express then we arrived at the North Pole!  Santa hopped aboard and gave each child their own silver bell from his sleigh.  How exciting.  Stella Ross even accepted her bell from Santa Claus herself and really enjoyed herself (despite having a BIG FEAR of the Jolly man).  This was a wonderful family and we are officially ready for Santa to arrive at our house!!

Christmas Carriage Ride

Rafe, Stella Ross, Gram and I enjoyed a fun, festive carriage ride in Fountain Inn.  The horses carried you through downtown to look at the beautifully decorated houses.  Afterwards we enjoyed hot chocolate and a ride on the carousel.  This quickly became a Christmas tradition!
