Samantha and I have been hit with the dreaded “pink eye plus” virus. Wish us luck and a speedy recovery!
In the meantime, we’re just playing some reindeer games over here…
Ho Ho Ho!
The weekend
Good news, Spencer woke up Monday feeling SO much better! I even got a few belly laughs at breakfast! Thank goodness!
Other than dealing with a sick Spence, we actually had a great weekend. We delivered some Christmas goodies to friends, cleaned out closets, and enjoyed the pretty weather. We also watched some football! Samantha kicked back and enjoyed the game…
and Robert enjoyed getting to watch with his little sidekick!
She was quite the cheerleader…
and gave the final score a thumbs up!
SEC Champions! Roll Tide!
On Sunday afternoon while Spencer and Samantha slept, Maxwell and I walked over to the Christmas Parade in the village. It was fun and they threw out candy which Maxwell obviously loved. 🙂 The parade ends on a high note with Santa on the fire truck!
Well, Maxwell told me that it’s actually just one of his helpers and not the real Santa. I think he’s right!
I loved some one on one time with my buddy!
Make it a great day!
Birthday!
It’s a special Sunday post for a very special person!
Happy Birthday Daddo!!
Sending you wishes for a sunny Florida day and all the chocolate you can eat! We love you!!
More mountains
Just a few more pictures from Highlands that I took with my big camera…it was beautiful up there!
I think this one’s a framer for sure…
Happy Friday! Make it a great weekend!
Thanksgiving in the Mountains
On Thanksgiving morning, we loaded up and drove to Highlands, NC to spend the long weekend with Robert’s parents. It was a GORGEOUS weekend and we had a great time! We loved getting to bundle up in our coats but still feel the sunshine on our face. We had a fantastic Thanksgiving meal thanks to LuLu, a great dinner out with our good friends, Patrick and Liz, and even made a trip to a Mexaurant! All the kids slept better than I could have hoped. We hiked and ran around the golf course and even saw Santa Claus light up a giant Christmas tree! The only disappointing thing? No mountain lions were spotted…much to Maxwell’s dismay!  🙂
I took some new Christmas pjs for the kids to wear on Thanksgiving night. A good kick-off to the holiday season!
On Friday, we hiked up to the top of Sunset Rock with Patrick and Henry.
On Saturday night we went into town (Robert even left the tv halfway through he Iron Bowl! Shocker!) to meet up with the Woods to drink hot chocolate, sing Christmas carols, and watch Santa light up the tree right in the center of town! So neat and quaint! 🙂
ps – that’s not the tree. 🙂
Here’s a few more pictures from the fun weekend.
It was a great Thanksgiving and I’m so THANKFUL we got to spend it in the mountains! Thanks for everything Lulu and Granddaddy!
See you tomorrow!
