Is his future wife pictured?

Lawton's preschool Christmas program was way back on the 17th of December. Due to a nasty computer virus, Christmas craziness and just plain ol' taking a break from blogging, I'm (probably annoyingly) going to "journal" our Christmas activities over the next several posts. sorry. :)

While waiting for the program to begin, Carolina was surprisingly cuddly and still. We were afraid she might be getting sick - but I think it was just the enormous amount of people and new surroundings. . .
Here are all the TR preschool kids. After Chad and I had been dating for a couple of months, we realized that we both went to the same preschool and were even in the same class after finding some pictures!! (There were two Ms. Beverlys so we were still unsure until finding pictures.) At our Christmas program, there I am, standing in front of Chad, knock knee-ed? in my short plaid skirt and smocked shirt. Who could have predicted the future?? :) I wonder if Lawton's beloved is somewhere in the crowd below? :)

Sis made herself right at home and joined Lawton on her own at the table. ha!

Santa even made a visit and Lawton told him(again) he wanted a "green ds". Amazingly, Santa sent a letter via Buzz our elf the next night saying that he couldn't bring a ds to four year olds. That letter miraculously solved that request because Chad and I had been telling Lawton that "four year olds" weren't going to get a ds. ahem. The letter solved a two week debate that had been going on. Santa is so smart. :)

Big Buds - Lawton and the two Bennetts

Miss Anna helped all the kids make PRECIOUS ornaments out of their handprints. I'm all about memorable, meaningful ornaments . . . I was excited. :)

Sweet Miss Anna . . . looks like Lawton was getting a little frisky. :)

Noni and Dandy were able to drive in for the occasion. Thanks!
