Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Happy Birthday Daddo!! Hope it’s a great day. Can’t wait to see you after Christmas!! For your birthday, here’s one of your favorite pictures of baby Maxwell…
ha! Still makes me laugh. Hard to believe that was 2 years ago!
Also, happy birthday today to cousin Savannah! I know she’s so excited to be 2! 🙂
Finally, finishing the week with a little iPhone dump…
Have a great weekend!
Maxwell is growing up too fast. He keeps telling me that he’s going to be a real fireman that drives a bucket firetruck when he’s a grown-up when he’s 5. I have to say, 5 sounds pretty grown up to me too and I wish time would slow down. My little boy is turning into a little man. See?…
I’m going to blink and he’ll be shaving for real. For now, I’m just going to soak up this time when he’s 3…or “free” as he says. Yea, he’s still my baby. Slow down time!
a lot like Christmas! As soon as we got back from Montgomery, we started pulling out the Christmas decorations! First up? The new little tree in Maxwell’s room!
He’s loved it and he’s been sleeping with it all lit up every night!
Saturday morning we headed out to get our real tree…
We picked the best 6 footer out there!
We got home and got it in the house (even though Spencer would have been fine just getting to play with the stand all day!)
and then I got it all decorated during the AL/Auburn game with Maxwell’s “help”. Yea, I was glad to have a project to distract me a bit during the game. That was QUITE a showdown. Wish it had turned out differently but, you can’t win em all I guess. Roll Tide!
I think it’s the best tree yet, don’t you?
I changed a few of our decorations up a bit this year like this mantle…
and a couple of other things mainly just to keep the decorations out of the way of grabby little hands!
Saturday night we even busted out the new Christmas pi’s!
I love having the decorations up and all the Christmas cheer in the house!
‘Tis the Season!
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!
I know I said I’d see you Monday but I couldn’t let the day pass without passing along a little cheer for AL today in the Iron Bowl. Maxwell thinks we’re gonna sweep the floor with Auburn…
Coach gives the team 2 thumbs up!
Roll Tide!
ps – thanks for the jacket, MB! It finally fits! 🙂
