Early Christmas

 
My family celebrated Christmas a little early this year. Because of Katie's chemo schedule her white blood cell levels would be too low on Christmas week, so we celebrated the weekend before. We first went to a restaurant named Gravy in downtown Raleigh.
 


 
We got some delicious Italian food!

 
Unfortunately Hunter couldn't join us for dinner because he had to work that night...so we went to visit him!


When we got home the sisters went to the best decorated house in Cary for our annual 'light show'.
 
Next came the annual tradition of Christmas pjs.
 

 
 
 
 
 
We then opened presents from Katie, Wil, and my parents.

 
 
 
We finished off our Christmas celebration with some lunch that my dad made.
 
 I especially love this time of year because of the wonderful time we get to spend with family celebrating the birth of our savior. Merry Christmas to everyone near and far!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Seeing Santa

There is a fun farm in the area called Hill Ridge Farm. They have a really fun Christmas light show during this time of year. Santa is also there! We waited in line for 1 hour to see Santa! By that time Naomi was tired (it was 8:00) and ready for bed! Santa and Naomi snuggled for a little bit and Santa said thanks for giving him a break :) We definitely learned that next year we need to visit before the last weekend before Christmas! Unfortunately we didn't see the light show, maybe next year! :)
