More Mountains

December 1, 2016

We stayed up in Highlands through the weekend as there was plenty of fun to be had. On Friday we met up with our friends and explored town a bit…

and then, while I let the baby nap on me, Robert took the boys to a gingerbread house workshop where they decorated quite the masterpiece!

Saturday brought a healthy breakfast…

and then another hike to work off that healthy breakfast!

After carrying baby on my hip on the last hike, I knew we needed a better solution for her. I still had my infant carrier in the car so, despite the fact that it has a 25 lb weight limit and is made to carry your baby in the front, I strapped my 30 lb baby onto my back and made it work!

It was totally worth it to get this view at the top!

After everyone was good and tired, we had plenty of football to watch that afternoon! Roll Tide Roll! We were supposed to go into town that night to watch the tree lighting and see Santa, but the crew decided to just stay at home and eat some ice cream instead. We packed up Sunday morning and headed back to Birmingham to get ready for Christmas!

It was a fantastic Thanksgiving trip and we can’t thank Lulu and Granddaddy enough for their hospitality! Let’s do it again next year!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Thanksgiving

November 30, 2016

As I mentioned yesterday, we went up to Highlands, NC for Thanksgiving with Robert’s side of the family and had a great time. The kids got to hang out with some of their cousins, we all got to go on some hikes, and everyone ate plenty of good food!

Ready for the drive trip up on Wednesday!

We then had a great Thanksgiving with cousin time, turkey, and a post-meal hike to work off that pie!

Roll Tide

November 22, 2016

As you know, we love AL football around here…Roll Tide!

The boys got to go to their first real game on Saturday and LOVED it!

Yes, they loved the football, but they also loved the popcorn, cookies, chicken fingers, pizza, and everything else they ate! ha!

Pretty sure Spencer’s favorite part was using the rail as a slide!

What a treat for these guys. Huge thank you to Ronnie for the box ticket hookup!

Halloween – the main event!

November 4, 2016

After all the fun Halloween lead in, Halloween itself finally arrived…on a Monday! Not the best but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. It was unseasonably warm but at least it wasn’t raining like last year. Spencer and Samantha wore their Ghostbuster shirts to school to keep away all spooky things…

and Spencer’s teacher even had the same idea!

After school and naps, we headed over to the Crestline parade just in time to see some fun floats and collect some candy.

We then went to our neighborhood party where everyone enjoyed the train, bouncies and food.

We finally headed out to go trick-or-treating at about 6:45 or so…it was getting very dark and we did a big loop before our crew was worn out.

We got home to examine the loot…

and then all fell into bed exhausted! It was a great Halloween for my Kylo Ren, Darth Vander, and Little Miss Sunshine!!

15 years!

October 26, 2016

Last weekend I headed over to beautiful Nashville for my 15 year Vanderbilt reunion. I saw lots of familiar faces and got to spend time with some of my favorite girls! It was a glorious fall weekend and we walked around campus, went to the tailgate, ate some good meals, and, of course, hit up the honky tonks on Broadway.

Before the class party…

and, finally, some random bar after Robert’s that I’m too old for!  🙂

Nothing beats Nashville in the fall! Robert ditched me and Nashville to go see Phish in Atlanta and had a great time with his friends. The kids didn’t miss us one single second because they were at home with GJ and Daddo eating candy all weekend. Well, maybe not all weekend but they did make a Halloween candy house and I’m pretty sure Baby ate as much as she decorated with!

A fun weekend for all involved!
