After checking out Santa’s haul and fueling up on pancakes, we drove down to Montgomery on Christmas morning.  Unfortunately, the whole MGM crew wasn’t able to join.  Ronnie came down with the flu so he, Jenny, Katie and Anna were quarantined to their house.  Major bummer.  But, we still had fun with Lulu, Granddad, Mary Beth and Holland!

I was pretty pitiful at taking pictures while over there, mainly because I was trying to chase after Spencer doing this over and over and over!  🙂

He was really fast going up those stairs and had no fear going back down them head first!  goodness gracious, he’s fearless!

It was a fun day and we’re so grateful to have family so close!

See you tomorrow!

Oh boy!  What a fun holiday weekend we had.  So much to report on so let’s get started!  First up, Thanksgiving!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Brown side of the family.  We headed down to Montgomery on Thursday morning and had fun getting to see everyone.

The cousins had fun playing together…

and watching Dumbo.

Maxwell was dealing with a bit of static electricity in his hair all day.  It didn’t bother him…

but it sure made us laugh!

Ronnie was all decked out to cut the turkey…

and then we all enjoyed a delicious meal!

After lunch everyone hung out and watched a little football.  Spencer didn’t care much for the game but he did like the cheerleaders!  🙂

ha!  We spent the night in Montgomery.  Spencer napped and slept like a champ.  Maxwell did not sleep like a champ.  Not surprising.  On Friday morning, Robert had to go into work for a bit so I took the boys up to the Montgomery Zoo which was fantastic!

We got to see the elephants, ride the train

and Maxwell even fed a giraffe!

so fun!  After lunch we got to see Mary Beth and Holland – as well as River and Zelda – before heading back to Birmingham.  Spencer loved seeing the dogs with Robert…

Maxwell and I happily waved at them from inside!  🙂

We drove back and Maxwell thankfully did this the whole trip…

He woke up right as we pulled into town and excitedly asked if it was Christmas yet?!  🙂  Not quite…but we did make it look like Christmas at home that night!  See you all tomorrow with more weekend scoop!
