Thanksgiving at the beach

December 3, 2024

Thanksgiving in Naples was a beautiful and sunny day! Keath and his crew made it over around noon and we feasted on GJ’s turkey and dressing, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, broccoli salad, apple pie, pecan pie – there is simply nothing better and I can confirm it tastes even better at the beach! I even managed to set up my phone so we could get a group selfie. The kids and I tried it out first…

and then we got the whole gang! Hooray!

After our food settled and some (Robert) took a quick couch nap, we made it down to the beach for sunset.

Of course the boys threw the football…

and Samantha flipped around!

It was a perfect evening.

We then went back to the house for more pie! That’s how you do Thanksgiving!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Halloween

November 4, 2024

We had a fantastic Halloween! The weather was perfect, even if a little warm. All the kids went different directions with their friends but I did manage to still get a porch pic of all three together which was all I wanted!

Samantha was a “Boss Girl” with 3 of her friends. I’m not real sure what they were supposed to be but I do know they sure were cute!

Of course Samantha’s favorite part of the costume was the fake fingernails I let her get!

Spencer was a grandpa along with Henry and he made me laugh so hard in that wig!

Maxwell was Shedeur Sanders along with a huge group of his friends. He headed over to Crestline for the parade and I didn’t see him until I picked him up at 9:30! I did manage to still get lots of pics though. Hooray!

Samantha stayed around our neighborhood bopping from house to house with her friends collecting lots of candy!

Spencer stuck around our neighborhood and Colonial Hills.

Robert and I weren’t quite sure what to do with ourselves with no kids hanging onto us but we managed to make it juuuust fine!

Nailed this photo. ha!

Overall it was a great night – everyone stayed out of trouble and followed the rules and got LOTS of candy!

Happy Halloween!!

4th of July

July 8, 2024

So much to catch up on – Maxwell’s 3 weeks at Falling Creek, Spencer’s 2 weeks at McCallie – but today we’ve got some festive pics from Independence Day! This was our first 4th of July in Birmingham since 2019! We definitely missed fireworks at GJ’s but it was fun to have a pool day and hang out with friends!

That night after grilling some burgers at our house, we went over to watch the Vulcan fireworks with some friends. They were neat but, as Daddo said, once you’ve seen the fireworks at Disney World, everything else pales in comparison!
