Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

This year is the first time the Atlanta area has seen snow on Christmas Day since like 1892. The boys took full advantage of playing in the snow before it melted away. Canton got around 4-5 inches.

Logan loves playing in the snow. He like throwing snow at Mommy the most!
Will makes a snow angel in the sideyard.

The boys had so much fun having a snowball fight in the sideyard.

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Santa was very good to the boys this year. My house looks like Toys R Us exploded in it. We had to turn our guest room into the boy's playroom just to keep it all contained to the upstairs area.



The boys are so excited to see what Santa brought them!!!


Will checks it all out.


Along with my new camera, that Billy got me early, he also added to my collection of Willow Tree Angels. I love these things!


My three favorite fellas on Christmas morning.



After opening Santa and breakfast with Grammie, Grandpa, and Grandma Reynolds we headed to Timmy and Kelly's house to celebrate with my dad's brothers and their families. It was nice to see them. We do not get to hang out with them as much as we wish we did.


Logan likes to hang out with Uncle Bob!!!

Christmas Eve with the Pichons

Christmas Eve started off with the Miller family at my cousin Alyssa's, house. Mom surprised all four of her grandkids with cowboy boots and hats. They love them and have worn them ever since they opened them.
Kole, Logan, Will and Kendyl show off their new boots and hats.
I had the chance to visit with my Great Grandmother. (The boys Great Great Grandmother) She is 94 years old and is an amazing lady.

After that, we were on our way to Alpharetta to see Billy's dad and stepmom. The boys were so filled with excitement that they couldn't contain themselves. Santa was coming tonight and it made them lose their minds. They were all over the place. Logan and Will got so many gifts that the drum set and Smart Cycle video game had to ride home in the back of the truck.

Let the Christmas Festivities Begin...

On Sunday, December 19th, we had the annual Pichon/Sherrill Kids Christmas party at our house. We had so much fun hanging out, eating great food and playing the "Steal-A-Gift" game. I love my family!!!
On Wednesday, December 22nd, We had Christmas with Billy's mom and stepdad. The boys were so excited to open their first Christmas gifts. They LOVE the VeggieTales characters and Grammy and Grandpa hooked them up big time.

On Thursday, we attended The Christmas Eve Eve Concert at Oak Leaf Church Cartersville. The kids all enjoyed the music and the sighting of Santa.

Little Drummer Boy

Karate Kid...(Will's first Karate Class)

Monday, December 20th, Will took his first Karate "Tiger Cubs" class. He seemed to have a really good time. Most of all he wants to get the "outfit".



As the kids punch the bag they all yell "Tiger Cubs Rock!".

A Visit From Great Friends...

While Chris and Melanie were in Atlanta, they brought their boys over to visit and play with our guys. The boys always have so much fun playing together.

On December 12th, Oakleaf Church Canton had it's first ever Leadership Summit/Christmas Party. We all joined together for food and fellowship. Will Goodwin lead the church family in singing Christmas songs. It was a really good time.















Amelia Island 2010

Billy has been with Wells Real Estate for a little over three years. His awesome company takes an annual trip to the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island every December. This is one of the best trips I have been on. You know a beach trip is not a vacation after you have children. This all adult 5 day stay at the beach is just what I needed this time of year.

This is the view from our room. The view doesn't get much better than a larger than life Christmas tree with a backdrop of the beach.


Billy and I goofing off on the beach


While trying out my new camera, I caught this picture. It is amzing
how much you can appreciate God's work when you have the
chance to slow down and take it all in.
While we were there, Billy and I joined some of his coworkers and their wives to go skeet shooting. I had never even held a gun before. I won't lie...I was a little nervous. By the end of the day, I was proud of myself for trying something new.
It was a lot of fun!!!


One of the guest speakers of the week was Coach Bill Curry current head football coach at Georgia State University). He was a fanominal
speaker and we had a great time.

Billy and I at dinner. I believe this was Switzerland night. Every night had a different European destination theme. The food
was amazing and the atmosphere was awesome too.

The courtyard at the Ritz

Melissa and I attended High Tea at The Ritz. The desserts were great! They had one of their chefs do a demonstration to show us how to make a few of their goodies.

Me and my hubby. We are "Beach People".

Melissa and I pose with Santa, after dinner, at The Crab Trap.
