More Highlands again

December 4, 2018

On Friday morning we started the day with a healthy breakfast – chocolate muffins AND a doughnut! Woohoo!

muffins

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!

legos

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…

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!

Highlands for Thanksgiving again

December 3, 2018

Like the past few years, we went up to Highlands, NC for Thanksgiving with Robert’s family and had a great time. We loaded up Wednesday morning…and we were really loaded up…

car

and headed out! It was a pretty easy drive, thank goodness.

We got there in time for the cousins to run around and enjoy the pretty weather.

On Thanksgiving we headed out to hike Whiteside Mountain, just like we did last year on Thanksgiving.

It was another beautiful day with the most amazing views!

The kids did great on the hike and had lots of fun climbing.

We had no issues until the last stretch of the hike. Just as I was saying “no running!”, Samantha ran and tripped over a stump and scraped her arm pretty good. She got a piggy back ride down the rest of the mountain. It was ok though, I’ve had experience doing that! ha!

It was a fantastic Thanksgiving morning with my crew. They are my sunshine!

We made it back for lots of good turkey and dressing and pie…and naps!

No better way to spend Thanksgiving than doing something fun with your favorite people!

Then we didn’t get one from Older Toddlers in 2014 because he wouldn’t sit for the photographer. Yep, his teacher said he just wouldn’t do it. Oh well.

2015 in the Twos (such a cheerful smile)…

2016 in the Threes showed major improvement! Love that little smile!

Falcons

November 27, 2018

As a fun treat for really no good reason (isn’t that the best?!) Robert took the boys to the Falcons/Cowboys game in Atlanta the weekend before Thanksgiving! This was their first NFL game and I think they had a great time!

Only downside? Seats facing the sun.

But a pretty good view regardless!

They also got to see their buddy, Max, who was at the game too.

What a fun day for these boys!

They loved it but, even after this awesome NFL experience, they still think college football rules! Roll Tide!
