White Christmas

Christmas Eve 2012

Happy 3rd Birthday!

 Happy 3rd Birthday to Catherine!

 Yesterday, Dec. 21st, was her actual birthday.  We spent the evening at the mall.  Catherine loved riding the carousel.

 Elizabeth's choir sang and danced fun Christmas songs at the mall.

 We ate cupcakes last night to sing Happy Birthday on her big day and had a bit of a scare.  Catherine's hair caught fire!  Thankfully, we got it out quick and she didn't get burned.

 She got her 1st basketball goal.  And so it begins...

This afternoon we had a little party with her favorite Nanas and Papas. Thank you Nana and Papa Green!

 Thank you Great Papa!  I Love lollipops!

 Thank you Nana and Papa Gammon!

Catherine's Tinker Bell / Christmas cake.  Daddy helped her blow out the candles this time.  Happy Birthday to our baby girl!

Congratulations to Elizabeth for receiving 1st Place in her category!

Christmas Concerts

 We have enjoyed Christmas Concerts the past couple of weeks.  Above picture of the 2nd Grade Program.  William dreaded this concert and was so happy when it ended!

This morning Sarah played the handbells during the prelude.

Hanging of the Greens

 It was unanimous!  We had to get a real tree again this year!

 The house smells so good and the cold weather is finally making it feel like Christmas in Texas.

 Catherine wanted to put the angel on top.  She is so proud of herself in this picture.

William is holding his little tree.  We cut a few limbs off the bottom and the kids put them in their rooms.  Christmas Tree 2012

5th Grade Camp

 Sarah spent the week at Camp Jolt (Journey On Lake Texoma).

 Catherine and I were so excited to go visit her on Thursday.  We had a nice lunch and she took us on a tour.  Above pic of the cabins.

Sarah's teacher took a video of her on the challenge course.  This was one of her favorite activities.

Basketball Basketball Basketball

 Basketball season is in full swing in the Green Household!  Elizabeth played her first middle school game last week.  She was one of the starters for A team.  This game was hard for Eric as it was the first game in her career not coached by her dad.

The head coach at our local high school and Eric are coaching William's team.  They are getting great instruction and should win every game!  Just don't ask the outcome of their first game. lol

Eric is coaching Sarah's team too.  These girls will add a few more gray hairs to his head!  We look forward to many fun games in the weeks ahead.
