Miscellaneous Pictures

On the day that the kids

went to see Santa at the mall

they also got to meet a real

live astronaught. His name is

Hoot Gibson. It was lots of

fun to tell Daddy who we got

to meet and get their picture with.
Same day....we got to go

over to Mema's house and

visit her for a short time.

Took the opportunity to

grab a quick photo!

Emily and her classmates

all stood in front of this

cute Christmas tree at

school for a couple of

class projects. The tree

is made out of handprints!

What a unique idea!

Breakfast with Santa

Michael's school hosts

Breakfast with Santa every

year for the Kindergarteners.

It was so much fun! Could

this Santa look any more

perfect????
Mimi came and joined

us to eat breakfast.

Having just had gum

surgery, she did more

joining and less breakfasting!

Dicken's of a Christmas

Sunday we went to

downtown Franklin for

their annual "A Dicken's

of a Christmas" festival.

People walk around all

dressed up in Victorian

clothing and can buy

hot roasted chestnuts etc.

One of the many characters

walking up and down the

street. She had lollipops for

all the kids. Michael and

Emily couldn't wait to go

and see her!

Emily and Michael were

both given a penny from

Scrooge. Wow....big spender!

Visit with Santa

We got to go see Santa

on Saturday. Wow was

the line long! But it was

well worth the wait!

Michael looks like he is

bending Santa's ear.

We'll have to wait and

see if Santa has

thought he was a good

boy this year!

Check out the Joyner Elves!

Kenneth sent this to me this morning.
I cackled! Mom and John came looking
to see what it was all about.

Check us out!

POW WOW

Kindergarten has a program
every year before Thanksgiving
called POW WOW. Here is
Michael during the POW WOW.

First they did quite a few
songs with actions while
being Indians.

Then they had a play. Some
were Pilgrims and some Indians.
Michael was one of the Pilgrim
men. Every time they were
mentioned in the play they had
a line to recite. It was very cute!

Ms. Cooper's Kindergarten

class. She was also Emily's

teacher in Kindergarten.

This is Maggie. Michael calls

her his girlfriend. Wow, he

sure is starting early. Her big

brother, Tyson, is in Emily's

3rd grade class this year. They

haven't been in class together

since Kindergarten. Kind of

freaky!
