Christmas Pictures

I took Xavier to have his pictures taken yesterday. We had to wait forever and we had an appointment. Everybody and their grandmothers were getting Holiday pictures taken. Next year, I will make sure I do them back in October. It was a pretty good deal and I got a cd of all the pictures and enough wallets for our Christmas cards. Here's a sampling.

Xavier's boy baby

Ever since Xavier saw the baby on the ultrasound, he thinks that he has a boy baby growing inside of him. It is actually really cute and funny. He was really into the baby thing after getting to see real babies this weekend. Tonight I got out one of my old cabbage patch kids. It's one of the newborns and just happens to be a boy. We wrapped him up in a receiving blanket and gave him to Xavier to "take care" of. He was so cute and has named the baby Super Power Lightning McQueen Fast. Too cute!

Daytona Beach, FL 2007

We headed to Daytona Beach this weekend for our association meeting. John was asked to preach Sabbath morning. He did a really good job and even had visual aides, a chocolate chip cookie. It was hilarious.
I took Xavier out to the beach near our hotel. He had a great time playing in the sand and water. The weather was so nice and warm.

We got the chance to meet up with some old friends, John Mark and Cathy Camenga. They had triplets back in July. John and I got to play with one of them, Eve. She was always up when we were hanging out. The other 2, Cate and Jonah, like to sleep. :) I loved getting to hold her and even Xavier liked the babies. He was singing them songs and rubbing their arms. He wanted to hold Eve really bad, but I wasn't too sure about that. I didn't get the camera out, mainly b/c I was holding the baby. :)

Marineland

On the way down to Daytona Beach, we stopped in a little town called Marineland. They had an Oceanarium. It was right on the ocean and they had dolphins. We lucked out b/c the day we stopped, they were remodeling and had moved the dolphins to a smaller tank. Therefore they were letting people in for free. John loves that price!
We had a nice time getting to see some dolphins up close and walking along the beach.

Trunk or Treat

The church Xavier goes to for Awana's had a trunk or treat night. It's where people open there trunks and decorate them for children to trick or treat from. Xavier isn't a big fan of costumes and it is really hard trying to get him to wear one. He wanted to be Thomas the tank engine and the costume is very simple. He looked so cute and had a great time.

Children's Museum of Atlanta

Xavier was invited to a birthday party at the Children's Museum of Atlanta. He had a really nice time, although it was hard to get him away from the train tables.

Awana's

Xavier started going to Awana on Sunday night at a local church down the road. He loves it so much and has a great time. He recently earned his Cubbie book and vest. We are very proud of him.

Playing catch at church

We stopped by the church one evening to do some cleaning and stuff. Pastor Luis showed up with his son Daniel to mow the grass. While Daniel mowed the grass, the boys started a game of catch with Xavier. It was just too cute.

Fall Festival

Our school had a fall festival on October 20. All teachers were expected to be there. It was luckily in the afternoon, so I didn't have to miss church. Xavier enjoyed himself. He ate cotton candy for the first time and spent the rest of the time running around with his best buddy, Abinav.
