Christmas with the Feole's (Celebrating the day after Christmas!) in Raleigh

Since we were in Richmond this year, and everyone still wanted to see the 'babies' we had everyone over for dinner on the 26th. It ended up being a really fun night, and the kids were so good. It was so nice to be able to hang out with everyone, and entertain in our home. This was the first time the Kalodimos' were able to come see our new house. As you can see, we took a lot of pictures and the camera was past around. Lots of fun memories for sure..........

Christmas Pictures from Susu's camera

This year was the year to celebrate Christmas in Richmond, as last year we were in Nashville. We started our Christmas tour by heading to Nashville to celebrate with everyone on Wednesday, and then headed to Richmond on Thursday afternoon. Courtney helped my Dad at the store on Friday & Saturday. He always likes to help, not to mention his pay is in clothes!!

Here are the pictures from my Mom's camera.

Richmond

I took the kids to Richmond right before I started back to work. It was a fun way to end my leave from work. My Mom also did a nice Sip & See for Stokes too, for her friends to come and meet him and see the children.

We got to go visit with my friend, Stuart and her twin girls. Kendall & Bennett are three weeks younger than Emma. Wish we lived closer so we could play more together. We also got to visit with another dear friend of mine, Elizabeth Flowers. They recently moved to Richmond from Charlotte. Elizabeth was my first friend at Meredith. ;)

We walked every day down to University of Richmond which is right down the street and fed the ducks. Emma LOVED it!

Now that Emma is starting to get some hair, she loves to put a bow in her hair. One day she wanted ALL the BOWS in her hair!! It was a riot.

Hope you enjoy these pictures...










Bows, bows, bows!

Our little 'Cookie Monster'! Emma ate so many cookies this day! She left traces around the house with her cookie crumbs! My Mom even found 2 cookies under the dining room table after we left to head back to Raleigh!

Emma & Bop held hands the entire walk. She loves her Bop...


Sweet..

How many things can Stokes have monogrammed? Do we live in the South or what?!
