Eating Lunch at Bubba's School

Eating lunch with Christopher is one of the highlights of Coleman's week!

And, lunch is never complete without a hug from Miss Neal. . . :)

What WE Did at the Singles' Retreat -- January, 2009

The Bonclarken Playground -- What WE did during the services!
Master Barney mastered frisbee golf (and landed many in the creek!)

Coleman was a bit disappointed that he could not play frisbee golf with Daddy and Bubba. Instead, he walked around the resort looking for trolls under all the bridges -- I guess I've read Three Billy Goats Gruff to him too many times!

Christopher took his NERF gun to the Singles' Retreat. And, the singles had a ton of fun with it.

Just one of these "ton of fun" games was shooting the styrofoam cup off the victim's head. Poor Mr. Ben!

Meema and Papa's House

We were able to spend a few days with Meema and Papa White during Christmas.

It was very cold and the snow was over two feet deep (and counting!).

We had a great time eating, keeping warm and playing with the cousins.

Christopher's new game --one that requires some "brain power"

The Polar Express Exhibit in Detroit

We went to Michigan for Christmas. While there, we were able to take the boys to the mall to a really neat Polar Express exhibit. They were able to pretend they were ON the train. It snowed throughout the whole exhibit. It was a lot of fun for two little boys! :)

Family Christmas Celebration

Since we are back in Greenville we thought we'd start a new tradition.

Corny as it may be, we drove through the Roper Mtn. Lights.

Then, went back to the Missions' House to open presents!
