Story Time with Santa

After school today we got to pick up Julia's mount from her deer last week. She was so excited and kept telling the guy, I shot that!

After we picked up Julia's mount we headed straight to St. John's Catholic Church for Storytime with Santa. It was quite chaotic, but the girls had a good time. They had a chili bar, snowball fights, photo booth, a life size "gingerbread" house, crafts, and of course Santa!

Charlotte still isn't a fan of Santa!

Sweet friends!

Charlotte made a wreath at the craft table.

The wild children having a snowball fight!

Such a fun night, Christmas activities are in full swing!

The Deer Slayer!

Julia and Michael got invited to go deer hunting with a friend today and I'm not sure who was more excited. Julia practically jumped up and down with excitement when Michael asked her if she wanted to go!

 

Michael sent me this text this afternoon. That looks like some pretty cushy deer hunting! 

 

He texted me this afternoon and said that Julia shot a deer. I certainly didn't expect her to shoot one and I wasn't really sure how she would handle it, but she was so excited.

Proud Daddy

She had just a little bit of blood left on her face when she got home (the red around her mouth is ketchup - I should have wiped her face off first!)

 

So proud of our little deer slayer!

Quail Hunts, Daddy Dates, and Pageants

Michael and I spent the day quail hunting with Rachel and Cary. I will admit I had more fun than I anticipated even though we didn't kill very many quail. Rachel and I definitely got our steps in today!

 

The girls stayed with mom while Michael and I were hunting. She took Julia to Ada's birthday party. It was a Ninja Turtle party at Chill. 

 Tonight Michael took Charlotte on a date to Rodeo's while  Julia and I went to Kinston to watch Emory give up her title as Future Little Miss Kinston. Julia was extremely disappointed that Kinston didn't have any restaurants. She couldn't believe it!

Pageant friends!

Julia and I had planned on going to dinner after the pageant but after her rant about there being no restaurants in Kinston she fell asleep about 5 minutes from Enterprise so I settled from drive-thru Chick-Fil-A. It's been a busy, but fun Saturday. We're ready for the Super Bowl tomorrow!
