AU Basketball

A few days before Chrsitmas, we had to make a quick trip to Montgomery to meet Grandmomma and Granddaddy. We decided to drive a little further and go to the Plains for a basketball game!





We enjoyed the small crowd since the college kids were out of school. These phone pictures were the only ones we had.  Oops! 

 

Pierce loved cheering, dancing, and taking in the whole game.  He especially loved the kids area we spotted in the arena!  They had a coloring area and inflatables, he even held his own playing basketball with some bigger kids!

Bowling

 

Just before Christmas we attended the college group party with our church.  The kids went bowling which, of course, was a big hit with Pierce!  He was usually beating at least one person in our lane most of the time.  He thought he was something getting to hang with the big kids!

Annual Live Nativity

One of my favorite family activities during Christmas is attending the live nativity service at our church. Especially, now that Pierce is getting old enough to learn about and begin to understand the true meaning of Christmas. He loved getting to pet the animals and hugged this poor donkey when I told him I would take his picture!

Pierce was very excited to get to sit on the front row with the bigger kids.  He must have paid attention because when I quized him about what happened he got everything right and had lots of questions about what he saw!

Of course, we had to get our annual picture with "Mary"!

Pierce and his buddy, Jack, loved the refreshments afterwards.  He wasn't so sure about the hot chocolate so he was waiting for Jack to try it first!

A Crafty Christmas

Since Miss. Rebecca's gift involved paint, crayons, markers, etc...Pierce has a new found love for crafts!  One day he painted lots of ornaments, but we failed to get them ready with his gifts.  He also made cards for his teachers at school, along with a teaching book for Aunt Mallory while we were in Luverne!

Class Christmas Party

Pierce had his class Christmas party at school the week before Christmas. I was able to stop by for a little while between appointments at work.  It's always fun to see him with his classmates!

They made several crafts, had a pizza lunch, and decorated cookies...oh, and a special treat for Santa!

Pierce and Ella Claire

Pierce has great teachers and loves them...thank you, Mrs. Martha and Mrs. Carol!

He can't wait for school to start back to see all of his sweet friends.  I can't believe this was his last Christmas season at the Dayschool...sniff, sniff.

Best Sitter Ever!!!

We love Miss. Rebecca!  She's been a great sitter and loves kids.  Pierce always lists her as one of his top picks when we need a sitter.  Well, she outdid herself this Christmas by visiting one afternoon and bringing Pierce Christmas gifts!  She knows exactly what he loves and picked out all of his favorite things.  A creativity kit for lots of projects, Star Wars coloring book, Angry Birds candy, and a few other goodies!

She even won the award at her Christmas party for the tackiest Christmas sweater!!  Thank you, Miss. Rebecca, you are the best!!!

The Chauffeur

A few weeks ago Pierce had his second class field trip and was super excited that I got to join them. It was terrible weather but I had lots of fun with him and his friends. We headed to the Children's Theatre to see A Merry Mouse Christmas!

Pierce was excited for buddies, Chase and Nolan, to ride with us.  I laughed the entire way there and back! Of course, he had to sit by Carter during the show though!!
