This was the first year (and last) that we got to enjoy both Cailee and Connor’s preschool Christmas programs. Luckily, Connor’s was Tuesday and Cailee’s was Thursday so we didn’t need to choose whose to attend. Connor was not the most enthusiastic singer of the bunch but we were thrilled that he stayed up with…
Just after the Christmas parades we packed up and heading to Blowing Rock for our 12th annual Christmas tree cutting weekend.

Sunday afternoon was Cailee’s end of the season soccer party. It was held at one of her teammates’ farm. They had pigs, chickens, cows, turkeys, duck and more.
