So to try and play catch up...
November and December were busy months for us. Shane was busy wrapping up his classes at Toccoa Falls College in Georgia and finishing a book he was co-writing with a friend. It should be published next spring. Here's a few of the highlights during this time for us:
We are loving being back home and for the first time were able to "host" the holidays at our house! My family came over Thanksgiving day and we had our Thanksgiving lunch. I finally cooked my first turkey (I know married almost a decade - first turkey - what!!!) with mom's help and had a blast. The boys enjoyed football outside. On Friday, we drove down to Edisto to spend the weekend with Shane's folks. We had a blast! Wiley spent his time at Motty and Poppy's house playing a new guitar they gave him and Motty's make-shift drums - I'm sure the neighbors loved us! We attended a Christmas party while we were there and Wiley had a blast running around, making his own cookies, doing crafts, and eating hotdogs. Santa didn't get to come b/c he got a call from his other job - fireman - but we had fun anyways. While we were there we got to attend the annual Edisto Christmas Parade. This was Wiley's first parade and he loved it!
In mid December our church put on a Christmas play and Wiley got to be in it as a sheep. He followed the shepherds onto the stage (even though he wasn't supposed to) and had a blast rocking the "Baby Jesus" back and forth. I'm not sure how much fun the poor baby had. We were afraid Wiley was going to rock him right out of his car seat carrier. He also enjoyed taking the presents the wise men brought to baby Jesus. Overall, though a crazy couple of months, we were able to make some wonderful memories.
