Christmas Cards

So I also spend WEEKS searching for the best Christmas Card... We got our pictures taken this weekend, so I started looking for card ideas and came across a GREAT deal with shutterfly.

4 day weekend

What a great "vacation" I had from work with FOUR days off.
It started with Veteran's Day, the School System was closed, but daycare was open! So Chatham went to school, Devin went to work, and I went at it- haha- doing laundry, running errands and working on Chatham's year 2 scrapbook. It is really coming together!
Friday morning i picked up Suzy and Amanda and we headed to Greensboro to the Women of Faith conference with our church- what an experience that was! I had an AMAZING time, with AMAZING women! Blair from the Facts of Life (Lise Whelchel) was one of the speakers, Anita Renfroe was AMAZINGLY hilarious, and a woman name Patsy Clairmont captured my heart with her words!!!! Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth sang and spoke about their lose and strength and hope and while there wasn't a dry eye in the house I was amazed at just how much I cried!!!
While I was in Greensboro, Devin and Chatham had some Father/Son time....fixing my carport storage closet door, fixing the busted pipes and broken vent under the house, and running errands in between. While Chatham was SO SO happy to see his Mama again I can tell he is becoming more of a daddy's boy.
Today we ventured to Charlotte to have family pictures taken- we did them at Freedom Park, which is where I had my maternity pictures taken. I can't wait to see Chatham now (almost 20 months) at the same place as me 8 months pregnant.

I have tons of pictures from this weekend that I will post as soon as I get them uploaded.

My boys

SURPRISE!!!!

I have always wanted to pull off a surprise party-

but anytime I've tried the person finds out before the party. But not this time!

I got all of Suzy's friends and family (that were in town) to come to the Tap Room last night

Chatham and Cara were SO happy to see each other! It had been two whole days after all!

I think everyone had a really good time! And as always GREAT food

Paul made a book cake and I got the world's most obnoxious candles. I wanted to get the trick candles and couldn't find them- so I settled with sparkler candles- and the last WAY longer than any trick candle I've seen in my life. The down fall was the we smoked up the ENTIRE restaurant.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZ!!!!!!!!!

Trick or Treat!

We took our little golfer to Granny Hokies first..

Uncle Al was there and Chatham got a dump truck!

Then it was off to Gram and Poppy's....

Amidst the tootsie pops (for other trick or treaters) Chatham got a slue of Elmo gear, and snoopy (hasses ("glasses")

The Cadwallader's stopped by for some loot to.

Chatham was so in love with the new tractor Gram and Poppy got him he just sat on it to open his treats from his friends.

I think all in all Chatham loved Halloween this year. He helped Poppy handout suckers to all the kids who can to the door, and only held on to Poppy's leg (for dear life) a few times.
