Lowe's Children's Clinic

This month, we have been attending Lowe's Children's Clinics. They are tons of fun and best of all...they are FREE! The boys really enjoy themselves and I love to see their creativity. When you attend a clinic, the kids receive a kids size Lowe's apron, goggles, and a patch for that workshop. Here are a few photos from the ornament clinic.

A Tervin Tradition!

Each year we begin by putting up the tree Thanksgiving weekend, decorating the outside of the house with white lights, putting up the family Christmas village, and lastly and most importantly setting up the nativity.

We also try to pick out an ornament for each person that represents something that reflects the year past. This year, the three men got fishing ornaments. I have not found a "special" ornament yet but I am on the hunt.

Our new tradition this year is started a "memories" tree that holds all of our ornaments from all of the places we have been. I love it! It means so much to us to be able to look at it and reminisce about our travels.

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas season celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. We will be celebrating with family in Petal, MS. We are very blessed this year. Dave's mom and dad, and hopefully two brothers will be joining us to celebrate Christmas, along with my mom and maybe Aunt, Uncle, and cousins for Christmas dinner. I am starting to plan my meal today.

I can't believe it's already December. Where has the year gone. As I clicked on my blog today, I realized that I haven't updated since Trenton's birthday in Oct. Wow! I will try to post more often in the new year. Honestly, I don't get on the computer as much as I did in Korea.

This picture of the boys was taken Saturday morning as we waited for the Hattiesburg Christmas Parade to begin. We had a fun day beginning with a kid's clinic at Lowe's building Gingerbread houses. Then off to the parade. Lastly, we finished up our day watching the SEC ball game. That was a waste of time but what can you do.

Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from

The Tervin's: Dave, Leslie, Dalton, Trenton, and Caimen
