3 More Days!!!

I can not believe Christmas is in 3 days...where in the world does all the time go??? Anyway, Ty and I are and have always been last minute shoppers, wrappers, and well, just about everything else you can think of! But we always get it done by the big day. We had so much fun last night hanging out in our room, wrapping presents, listening to music, eating cookies, laughing and just being together. We finally called it a night around 11:30pm. I love you so much T...thank you for all of your help each and every day! We certainly are a perfect team!

We have only a few more things to get together tonight after the girls are asleep, because tomorrow we head to Charleston for the night. We'll eat dinner at Ty's parents house, spend one night, have Swedish Christmas brunch at the Janssons on Wednesday and come back home to Wilmington on Wednesday afternoon. What a whirlwind trip, but we are looking forward to it!

Christmas Eve night (again, Swedish Christmas) we will go to Mom's house for dinner and gifts. Christmas Day brunch will be at our house and dinner is at the Heffrons! We cover all three households (-: and have a good ole' time eating, drinking, and being merry! I hope everyone will have a wonderful holiday and will think positive, happy thoughts for 2009! Love to you all!

Big Night Little Lady!

Last night was such a special night for us, especially my big girl! Kenzie, Mama, Daddy and MorMor started off the evening by going to our favorite restaurant downtown...Circa! What a treat (thanks MorMor!) and what an awesome meal (as always.) Kenzie had a small crush on our waiter, Bill. She would follow his every move and when he wasn't in sight, she asked us where was Bill and why wasn't he helping us. It was hilarious...too cute! When Daddy asked her if she thought Bill was cute, she answered with a quick No! and he said, "That's my girl!"

Right when we sat down at our table, MorMor gave Kenzie the prettiest silver bracelet. I believe it was made just for her wrist, and she absolutley loves it! She hasn't taken it off since last night...she even wore it to bed. Mom, that was such a nice, grown-up gift for a perfect occasion.

After supper, we rushed to the church for Kenzie's Hope Christmas program. What a cute job all of the teachers did, especially sweet Mrs. Janice and Mrs. Debby. Kenzie's class sang four songs, and she did such a great job singing and playing her instruments in front of so many people. We are so proud of our little lady! Kenzie, Mama loves you to the moon and back, and back again!




Those Crazy Rabon Girls!

I'm so sorry for the delay in my blogs! Right after Thanksgiving weekend, I was sick for two whole weeks...no fun at all! But I'm good to go now and have a few random, pretty darn cute pics to share of my girls...enjoy!

Last weekend, the Traywicks came for a visit. Kenzie loved hanging out with her "Charleston cousins!" She especially loved that one night Mary spent the night in her room and the next night was Janie's turn. She felt so special having two big girl slumber parties in one weekend!

Friday was warm and beautiful, so the guys surfed, we played outside and the girls (and Patch) shopped the rest of the afternoon. We had a wonderful supper at the Heffron's house that evening.

Saturday was cold and rainy, so the girls (and Patch) shopped, the guys watched football and we had a good time hanging out at our house that night. Thanks, Traywick family for making the trip...we had fun and will see you soon!
As you enjoy these pictures, you may say to yourself, Wow, that's alot of kids! With the 4 Heffalumps, 3 Traywicks and our 2, that's a total of 9! Yeah, I'd say that's quite a crew!
