Christmastime in Norcross

"Oh there's no place like home for the holidays..."

Kate got to help Mom decorate for Christmas this year since we got to be down there a full week before Christmas.  My daughter definitely got the organizer genes that my sister also has.  They tackled the project together and had a fun afternoon of it.

Every time we go to my Mom's house, the kids want to 
go over to the Barnes and Noble at the Forum for storytime.

They've been so often now that they know Mrs. Anne, even though we don't even live here!

There is always a craft after the stories.

Followed by opportunities to play with an uber-cool train table set.

All the kids got new scooters this year courtesy of Mema and Pop.  Mom's driveway is too steep for me to be comfortable with the kids out there riding.  Solution?  Pull the car out and scoot in the garage.  I used to do the same thing way back in the day, except my wheels were rollerskates : )

My kids love to go and play with a whole different set of toys!

Many hours of my life, and theirs, have been spent at this kitchen table.  And I love how concentrated Hudson is on whatever great work of art he is producing in this picture!

Fun, new toys to play with right at her level?  Happy Mollie : )

Looks like it may be a lullaby for that sleepy baby girl.

We had to be sure and put her in the Johnny-Jump-Up 
since she'll probably be too big for it the next time we come to GA.

We're thankful for every opportunity we have to be in Georgia 
and to spend time with family and friends!
