Robbie's Birthday
|
No doubt that the hardest birthday to have, minus Christmas Day, is the day after Christmas. Everyone is tired for the constant go-go of the past month and the fact that you have to double-down on presents - which honestly, is a good and bad thing.
I always feel as though my presents and gifts to Robyn are anti-climatic due to the timing the day after Christmas; pretty hard to follow God's birthday.
She's a trooper. She knows that it is hard on everyone but she rolls with it and always has a good time.
Robyn is an incredible person and we would all be lost without her and the world would be a boring place without her - she is the laughter in my day-to-day survival.
Happy birthday love; you don't look a day over31 29.

Preparing for Santa's Visit

Not only do we leave cookies and milk for the big man, we also leave reindeer food in the front yard for the hungry reindeer.
Historic Holiday
|
Nostalgia, history, and holidays are a fantastic combo.
David and Sheryl hosted a Christmas party at their new new living quarters - not a bad little shack. Officially called Mattapany, the original portion of the house was built in 1723 on what is now the Patuxent River Naval Air Station located on the Chesapeake bay.
If the walls could talk of that house, I would love to sit and hear the stories.
You know it's a good party when this guy shows up...
Christmas Pageant
|
Our church, Mountain View Community Church, held their annual children's Christmas pageant last weekend. After weeks of intense begging practice and great direction from the pageant directors, the kids pulled off a great musical pageant. Jaxson is dead-center back row and little Colt is front row, towards the right (gray shirt).
I think Jaxson enjoyed looking through the crowd for us more than participating in the program...attention span of a six-year-old at work.
Old Town Christmas Evening
|
Throughout the month of December, the Downtown Frederick Partnership coordinates the entire downtown area each weekend with outdoor live music / performers, free hot cocoa and smore's, later hours of operation for all the stores, and a general "togetherness" for the entire town.
To see the streets filled with kids, adults, pets, out-of-towners, residents - along with the sounds of the holidays - is a small-town treat that we have the privilege to experience.
