Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Last week the 2nd graders had their Animal Expert Fair. They have each been researching a different animal this semester and created both a book and a poster about it. They read their book to their parent and then presented their poster to any other parents that came by. Maxwell chose the dolphin. He did great – and even looked the part in his Dolphins jersey!
It was a fun day full of fun animal facts!
Second grade is awesome!
Two weeks ago we got together with some friends to watch the SEC Championship game. When we got to our friend’s house, they boys disappeared and we didn’t know what they were up to. Then they ran out right before kick-off and gave us all a good laugh!
The game was a tense one and it wasn’t looking good for AL. But, in a story better than a movie, our formerly first string now backup QB came in and saved the day just the way our now first string formerly backup QB had saved the day in last year’s National Championship Game! Go Tua and Jalen!
It was a great game with lots of fun friends!
Roll Tide Roll! On to the Orange Bowl we go!
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!
