Roll Tide in Miami!

January 16, 2019

After Robert found out Alabama would be playing in the Orange Bowl while we were in Naples it was too good of an opportunity to pass up so he got us some tickets and we made the easy 2 hour drive over to Miami for the game. We planned it out and were able to have lunch at Houston’s! Woohoo!

The game was really fun – even more so because Alabama was leading from the very first play!

We had fantastic seats, good weather, and pleasant seat mates! Win Win all around!

The only downside was trying to get an Uber after the game. We had to walk probably 2 miles to and then it was a madhouse of people looking for their ride. But we made it back to the hotel and were so glad we went.

The kids were having plenty of fun back in Naples…

even if the boys weren’t able to make it to the very end of the game!

Very thankful we made the trip to the Orange Bowl instead of heading out to Cali a week later! What a bummer of a game. As Robert said, “We’ll get him next year!” Roll Tide!

Christmas Day

We were so happy to see that Santa came to visit us and boy, oh, boy! Santa was good to my 3!

The kids weren’t allowed to get up until 6:30 and Maxwell was by our bed right at 6:30! Samantha followed and then they had to walk up Spencer, of course.

Everyone was pretty darn excited and happy. Samantha got her big Barbie head and her purple bike. Spencer got his Legos and Maxwell got his Nintendo Switch. He also got a letter from Santa saying his jersey was on backorder with the elves! Oops!

Christmas Eve

January 10, 2019

By Christmas Eve the kids had already gotten several fun Christmas presents so that morning there were tea parties to be had…

The kids wanted to sit in the balcony and after having listened to Samantha complain about how she couldn’t see at the boys’ Christmas concert at school, I thought the front row of the balcony sounded like a great idea. Perfect viewing for all!

That night we got the cookies and milk ready and did our best to sleep – visions of sugarplums and all!

Merry merry indeed!

Patterson Christmas

January 9, 2019

We celebrated with my side of the family the weekend before Christmas. My brother and his crew made the trip up from Florida so we could all celebrate together in Birmingham in GJ and Daddo’s new house! Have I mentioned my parents bought the house next door to us? I don’t think I have but they did and it’s AWESOME! They won’t be here all the time but we sure do love it when they are! They may not have much furniture in the house yet but they had Christmas decorations!!

Of course the cousins all had fun playing together – and “helping” GJ make cookies!

We thankfully had decent weather so they were all able to run out some energy outside…
