Christmas afternoon at my parents

We have certainly been blessed this year. Full of family, friends and fun. Owen and Noah got so much cool stuff for Christmas this year. We want to thank everyone especially our parents. What would we do without you all. Christmas afternoon we went to my parents and had fun. This year they looked forward to opening every one's presents. To hear them say the word present makes us laugh. There will be more posts late this week.

My favorite Boys

Christmas 2008 at Casa Cannon

Safety 1st

Noah

Owen


Notice all the festive decor. HA!! HA!! It was another Charlie Brown Christmas. We still aren't great with trees and ornaments. We had a blast on Christmas morning. Noah and Owen got trucks, golf clubs, helmets, skateboards etc. Each year becomes more fun and special. We can't imagine life without these 2 crazy kids.....

Christmas at Maw-Maw & Paw-Paw Cannon's

Good times with family!! We had fun at Maw-Maw's on Christmas Eve. Owen and Noah have been sick now for 2 weeks. We went to the doc 2-3 times in4 days and they never did give us any antibiotics. So I am a little upset b/c I figure Owen wouldn't have had the ear infection if they did or it would have been less severe. Come to find out today Owen had an ear infection in both ears and may eventually need more tubes and they will also remove his adenoids. We took him to the ENT b/c he was oozing yellow stuff out his ear. Poor fellas have coughed and snotted FOREVER it seems. I have decided we will be sick on even number years since Christmas 2006 (they were 2 months) we had RSV. Then on Saturday I had to go to Urgent Care w/ an ear ache too. So lets hope and pray we are on the mend for 2009. All in all we had a wonderful time.

Pre-Christmas Festivities

We had a little early partying before Christmas actually got here. We are making family traditions. We will be eating Wal-mart cupcakes and making cookies each year from here on. I was shocked how well they helped sprinkle the cookies. I think they really had a blast. They love to help any way they can.

Desperate for the outdoors

Noah


Owen

We have been bored out of our minds the past few days. We have had rainy yucky weather on and off for a week now. Owen and Noah just want to go outside and play. So we broke down and let them go out for 15 minutes in the gloomy weather today. Yesterday we played in the garage while Scott cooked liver mush "mush mush". Other than that not a lot is going on. They love to see Christmas lights and nativity scenes. They say Jee Jee which means Jesus. They are saying some many new words. We love it. We are ready for Christmas I believe. It will be a blast I am sure.

The week in Review

Chillin on the counch

My new favorite Christmas memory

We have had an awesome 2 weeks. Scott has been off for 12 days and we have been spoiled. He goes back to work tomorrow and we are already sad. We love having him every evening. Especially the boys. One day he will make it to first shift!!

We went to see the Christmas lights this evening in Morganton. They had fun. Then we went to eat at Ham's and re-decorated it Owen and Noah style. For example Owen put noodles on the wall and Noah sat int he window and jumped off into the booth. Then we went to look at the lights downtown and saw a horse and carriage. I have never gotten to go on a ride so we took advantage and did it. It was so much fun. The horses name was Sampson and he peed and tooted for us. We may go back next weekend!!

Here is to a wonderful Holiday Season!!!!!

Conover's Christmas in the park

Can we say Burrr

Vikki and Jonathan

We look like bank robbers with these toboggins

On Tuesday we went to Conover's Christmas event with Vikki and Jonathan. We had fun but it was so so cold. Owen and Noah's hands felt like icebergs.

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a great Turkey Holiday. We went to the park around lunch. We went to Glen Hilton b/c they love to go feed the ducks and run wild and free. Come to find out there were a lot of others with the same idea. We also went to My mom and dads on Thanksgiving day and Owen and Noah played with the reindeer (aka dang) and the Fiber optic Christmas tree. Then on Friday we went to Scott's parents. We had 2 days of great food and family!!
