Christmas here we come!

Cards are sent, tree is up, inflatable snowman outside! I think we are getting ready.

Here is a quick overveiw of the Christmas festivites in the Mullis' world.

Christmas parade last week. It was COLD! Our church had a float in the parade and the girls- Katy and Karoline that is- just loved riding on the float. Katy was a cow and Karoline a bit of a sheep in the nativitiy themed float.

Can you find Karoline?

They both had a great time. Kris took pictures and Klaire kept warm in the van.

We have also been working on our Jesse Tree, although it is a wreath. We have been making the ornaments this year. The Jesse Tree is a great way to keep the focus of each day in December on Christ and the leading up to his birth. It is a great Christmas tradition. I will get pictures up of it soon.

More to come, so keep checking back. Also visit my blog, Prelude to Home and see our Christmas decorations inside the house.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

9 years today!

God has blessed us so.

Check out my personal blog Prelude to Home to read the story of us.

Tea anyone?

I was going through my picture files and found these of Karoline back in the summer. She loves having tea parties, dinner parties, lunch parties, whatever suits her she is up for a party! And as always her buddies Boz and Ducky (prounounced Ucky) always are the guests of honor, although Ducky wasn't allowed any food at this particular party- I forget why.

The parade

Last week was Homecoming for Elba High School. It was also Katy's first time in a parade and boy was she ever excited! The 1st grade at Elba Elementary dressed up like 1950's kids with poodle skirts and rolled up jeans. Katy's favorite part was getting to throw candy. And even though the heat was quite "sweltering" (that was one of their vocabulary words) she did not complain a bit.


Oh, and Elba did rock the socks off Geneva 40-18!

The moon

The night of Homecoming was the same night that Karoline saw the moon for the first time. Shows we don't get out much at night! We have yet to go to a football game with the girls yet. But we go and watch from the top of the hill. For me I want to see the band! So as we were coming home from our mini football game on the hill, Karoline saw the moon. "Moon! Moon!" she yelled out from the back seat of the van.

It reminded Kris and I of Katy's first time seeing the moon. We lived in Williamson at the time and were over in Locust Grove shopping. It was getting dark and the moon was full. As we were driving home, she saw the moon from the back seat. That night, and for weeks after, Katy had to tell the moon goodnight before she went bed.

Oh, the sweet memories.

And the moon pictured above is the view that Karoline saw on Sept. 25th, 2009. Goodnight moon.
