Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Like last year, Maxwell got to walk in the village Christmas Parade with the boy scouts. Also, like last year, Samantha wore her green polka dot dress! ha!
Looked cute then, looks cute now!
It was an unseasonably warm and muggy day – but at least it wasn’t raining! Lots of fun floats to see and plenty of candy to get!
Hey, we know him!!
Of course the big man himself was there at the end! Ho Ho Ho!
Fun day all around with these scouts!
Tis the season!
Samantha’s Christmas program was two Fridays ago and it was just as sweet as could be! She obviously looked precious for the performance!
I had no idea how she would act on stage and, while she wasn’t necessarily hamming it up, she wasn’t as shy as I thought she would be. She sang her words – and was a bit of a wiggle worm since she was on the end!
I loved seeing her up there and with all of her cute buddies. They all had the voices of angels – unruly angels! But, angels for sure.
She was pretty proud to have both me and Robert watching her as well as Susan and GJ!
I was pretty proud to have Susan and GJ get up there early to save those front row seats! They are the best! Here are some other pictures her teacher sent…
Aren’t we the luckiest to have this adorable little angel in our lives!!
Merry Christmas!
Maxwell’s 3 year Christmas Program
Spencer’s 3 year Christmas Program
On an unseasonably warm and muggy Sunday last weekend, we got our Christmas tree!
We got it in the house and it was a leeeeeeetle tall!
Nothing some snipping shears won’t fix!
After having colored lights in 2014, 2015, and 2016, and then going back to all white lights last year, we decided to add back in some different colored lights again. We also moved it to a new location. The kids were big helpers putting all of the ornaments on.
Pretty and festive and we are ready for Christmas!!
Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree!
We started Saturday morning with a cup of hot chocolate – the best!
After some morning rain, we finally got out to do an easy hike on Satula and burn off some energy with the Woods. Spencer managed to find every single puddle on the way up and down! ha!
Pretty views at the top…
and silly kids!
When we came back down the mountain, look what we saw! Spencer is MAJOR into all the Jurassic movies right now.
Spencer wanted to drive away in it!!
Samantha thought it was pretty cool too!
We then watched a great Iron Bowl that night. Roll Tide! Sunday morning it was time to pack up and head out. We had a pretty easy drive home – despite some crazy drivers around Atlanta. It was a wonderful trip all around! Big thanks to Lou Lou and Granddaddy for everything!
On Friday morning we started the day with a healthy breakfast – chocolate muffins AND a doughnut! Woohoo!
It was bitter cold that day so we opted against a hike and went into town to check out the ice skating rink. Who did we see when we pulled up? The main man himself!!
“I want a mermaid Barbie” (which she already has 5 of!)
“I want Jurassic World Legos”
“I’m not ready to say what I want yet. I’ll let you know!” Ha!
Something tells me these three are all on the “nice” list and will be getting whatever they want!
We then laced up our rented skates and made it about 30 minutes around the rink with our friend, Henry.
The kids actually all did great. Maxwell was on his own the whole time…
Spencer stayed with Robert…
and I had Samantha.
They LOVED it and would have stayed all day if we could have. We’ll definitely do it again!
Such a fun day!
Ho Ho Ho!
