No More Curls!!!!!

I knew this day was coming but I didn't expect to be so sad about it. I gave Logan his first haircut today. I had to cut off his curls. I loved his curls. But his hair was getting really long for a boy and too many people were calling him a girl. Even some people who know he is a boy. He did pretty good during the hair cut. Towards the end he was getting fussy. But I think I did a pretty good job. It just made me sad to see the curls go and my little baby boy turn into a big boy in a matter of 30 minutes. Daniel's mom is paying for the boys to get Christmas pictures this weekend. So he will be so cute in them I think. I just thought I would share his first haircut with everyone.

The Best Husband Ever.....

Daniel is the best husband and father anyone could ask for. He has been busting his butt this year to make sure that the boys and I have the best Christmas ever. Because I could not get work this year, money has been tight. Daniel has been working 4 jobs to make sure we would have enough money for Christmas. He teaches at the high school, of course that is his main job, he tutors at the high school in the mornings, He tutors a girl from Fort Mill every Monday afternoon. and on Tuesday and Thursday nights he works at Winthrop. He is just amazing!

In order to have a good Christmas, Daniel and I decided not to get each other anything for Christmas. We also decided not to give anniversary presents to each other. We just asked my mom to send us a gift card so we could eat out for our anniversary. That is really all we wanted.

Have I mentioned how sneaky Daniel can be????

While at his parents house for Thanksgiving, there was a jewelry store going out of business and with his mom's help ( she picked it up for him because he was with me in Sumter that Wednesday before Thanksgiving). He surprised me with the most beautiful necklace. It is a white gold circle of hearts pendant with a diamond in each heart. I was so surprised!!!!! I cried because I can't do anything for him. And he said that he didn't care but because I do so much for him and the kids that he couldn't stand for me not to get anything so he made sure he could do this.

How awesome is he? I can't believe how lucky I am!!!! Now everyone go hug your husbands for all the wonderful things they have down for you!

Thanksgiving......

Thanksgiving was alot of fun. We went down to Daniel's parents in Hartsville on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stayed till Sunday. It was nice getting a break from Rock Hill. Every now and then you just gotta get away. Wednesday we went to Sumter to see my old friend Stephanie Knight (now Brown) and her three boys! I couldn't believe that we were together with our children. It is crazy how much has changed in ten years since high school. Thanksgiving day was awesome. The food was amazing! We ate at Daniel's Grandma's house. After dinner we went outside so all the kids could play and Daniel got the kids raking. So that led to the adults raking ( I got out of it because I had to follow Logan :) ). So we had a raking party and then by the time that was done they started shaking the pecan trees to get the pecans down, so all the kids were picking those up. By the time we were done with all of that it was time to eat again. So we ate and then we went back to Daniel's parents house. I gave the kids a bath and Logan was asleep by 8. We went to bed shortly after because we were getting up at 3am!!!! to go out Black Friday shopping.

Friday was actually kinda fun. We got up at 3am and so did Daniel's mom. We took Logan with us and left Grant with his PaPa. Which I think they were both excited about. Lynn, Daniel's mom, waited in the car while Daniel and I stood in line at Toys R Us. About 10 minutes before the doors opened Lynn and Logan joined us in line. It was so crazy in there! But we got what we wanted or we got what the kids wanted! LOL Then we went to Target. After getting what we needed we got in line. And Logan fell asleep in my arms. So we are standing in this insanely HUGE line and I can't take it anymore so I head up front to go sit in the little food place with Logan because he is so heavy when he is asleep. Well, when I get up to where the lines are, I realized that there were other shorter lines. So I get in one and call Daniel to come up and get in line with the stuff. Well, while I am waiting someone gets in line behind me and after Daniel and Lynn join me with the buggy, the woman gives me attitude!!!!! It was crazy! I mean really, like she has never held a place in line for someone before! ugh, It made me a little mad.But I was polite and Daniel said that if she didn't want to wait in lines behind people then why is she out shopping on Black Friday. So we went to other stores and shopped and got home around Noon. Logan was the best little boy ever.


That was our Thanksgiving. Hope you all had a good one too!
