FullerTown

You can imagine the amount of silly going on here in FullerTown. I thought I would share the fun.

My day started yesterday going to Luke's Christmas Party. His class had brunch and then decorated gingerbread houses. This was really fun for Luke. Then Anna Brooke's class had a pizza party and made snowmen out of marshmallows, pretzels, and fruit roll-ups. They also had a gift exchange. She had a lot of fun. Then, last night the Starlights had thier Christmas party. They played in the gym with beach balls, jump ropes and hula hoops. They got to jump on the trampoline for an extra long time which was a blast. Then they went into the party room and made reindeer out of cookies, frosting, a Nilla wafer, a red skittle and some pretzels. They also had pizza for dinner and some Christmas cupcakes. All in all, it was a very fun day!

On Friday, we had the most awesome Family Day. We left Greensboro about noon and headed south. We wanted to visit the Billy Graham Library . I have wanted to visit at Christmastime just because I love Christmas decorations. It did not disappoint! We arrived about 3 pm and went inside for the Journey of Faith. This is what they call the tour all around the facility. The Journey begins with Bessie the cow: The funniest thing she says is, "Billy Frank's hands sure were cold at 5:30 in the morning." During the Christmas Season, there is a live nativity complete with a camel, llama, several sheep and goats and some black animals that I couldn't identify! Then there were carriage rides with hot chocolate and cider. That was a lot of fun! This was a top ten day for our family!

This past weekend there was snow in FullerTown!! The weather man said it was supposed to be just a few flurries. Well, it started as flurries. Then, got heavier and more and more! We had about 2-3 inches of snow here in our neighborhood. The little Fullers were so very excited. The boys didn't stay still long enough for me to take a picture of them playing! Most of the snow was melted by mid afternoon Sunday. It sure was pretty while it lasted!

Yesterday, was Anna Brooke's birthday. She is our oldest daughter and is now SIX years old. I don't know what happened to the past five and a half years but, none the less, she is six! Anna Brooke had such a good day. She woke up smiling, ready to get dressed for Kindergarten. She has always loved girly-girl things. She has wanted to be a cheerleader since she could say it and recognize a cheerleader when she saw one. She has also wanted to learn to play the piano. She has been taking lessons for about a month now. She is learning to play Away in a Manger , which is probably one of her favorite Christmas Songs. Anna Brooke loves to have her hair braided. She wears her hair with two braids and bows on the bottom most days. Anna Brooke, you changed my life in a way I cannot even describe. You continue to rock my world every day. You have made me be a much better Mommy than I ever would have been without you in my life. I now take the time to appreciate the little things...
