We shared the meal with Grandma & Grandpa Aiken, Great Grandma Aiken, Aunt Dianne & Uncle Mike, Nikki, Jeff, Jake, & Luke. What a wonderful meal we had together again this year. We are so blessed to have so many of our immediate family so close to us, thank you Grandma & Great Grandma Aiken the food was fantastic just like it always is!!!

Emergency Room For The Holidays...

There is no better way to start The Thanksgiving Holiday than in the Emergency Room. Those of you that know our family well, know that we are accumulating our frequent flyer points quite nicely at the local hospitals!!! Ha! As we were literally putting on our coats to leave for our 1st Thanksgiving meal at The Aiken's house (11:00am), Benjamin tripped over Brady and split his head open on the corner of the bathroom wall. So, we rushed to the hospital where we waited for about 2 1/2 hours...so, when it was all said and done Ben left the ER with a new stuffed cat, a coloring book, a Dinosour Book, and at least a dozen stickers (I think he charmed the nurses a bit!), but most importantly 10 stiches just next to his left temple! Hang in there Benjamin we love you!!!

Nikki & I took our mom to The Rockette's Christmas Show at The Nutter Center tonight. It was a beautiful show. All of the costumes and the scenery were out of this world!!! We all 3-had a great time at the show and enjoyed a nice, quiet dinner afterward at The Cheesecake Factory. Thanks for arranging the show Nik it was lots of fun!

Is this really a project "easy" for kids???

Reese having a blast!!!

Sarah & her adorable girls!!!

Mommy & her little man...

Benjamin & his girlfriend Reese...

We had a great time today with "The Neugebauer Girls". Sarah, Reese, & Riley came over to our house for some gingerbread house decorating...it was hilarious!!! I think we spent more time keeping Ben & Reese from eating the candy, than we did decorating the houses! Although we had a few "construction mishaps" it was a fun-filled day for all of us! Thanks for coming Sarah, Reese, & Riley we had a great time!!!

Cold November Days...

Today was one of the first extremely cold days so far this winter. Luckily, Great Grandma was thinking ahead and gave the boys their christmas presents early this year because she got them their very warm & matching winter coats, gloves & hats. Benjamin & Jacob looked so cute in all of their winter gear that I had to add this picture to the blog!!!

FOREVER FRIENDS!!!

On our way home from South Carolina, we stopped for the weekend in Charlotte to visit The Conder & The Bilderback families. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER!!! Between watching "the twins" Ben & Vince, and the adorable "couple" Brady & Anna, I don't think we stopped laughing the entire 3-days we were there! We stayed Friday night and all day Saturday with Stacy, Ed, & Vince; and then we headed over to Molly, Kevin, & Anna's house for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends...THANK YOU Stac & Mol for making us feel so welcome in your homes. We are already looking forward to another visit very soon (next time there will be a new little Conder to join in on the FUN :))!!!

Litchfield Beach, South Carolina

Brian & I took Benjamin & Brady on a wonderful 2-week family vacation to our family condo in Litchfield Beach, South Carolina. It was so great to get-away just the 4-of us for the first time in a long time. We enjoyed; endless fresh seafood, shopping at broadway, riding the the fun rides, playing outside, & most importantly spending quality time together as a family! We love it there and can't wait to go back sometime again this winter!!!

Another Fun Day At The Dice's...

Today we all spent the day over at the Dice house. As usual we all had tons of FUN together. We took advantage of the unusually warm November afternoon and played outside most of the day. Jake, Ben, Brady, & Luke are really starting to play well together now that the babies are getting a bit older. It makes me so happy to imagine what fun our 4 boys are going to have growing-up together! What a perfect way to spend a Sunday...Thanks Aunt Nik & Uncle Jeff we had a blast!!!
