On Saturday night, Robert went to watch the Alabama game with some friends and Maxwell went to ride go carts for his friend’s birthday!
The rest of us decided to have an Ss only dinner!
I couldn’t ask for better dates on a Saturday night!
Oh Christmas Tree!
Last week after school, the kids and I went up to get our tree! We wanted to wait for Robert but it gets dark so early and the tree lots were starting to look sparse so we just went for it. I’m glad we did because I think we got the last 9 foot tree on the lot. It was a beauty though!
While we were standing at the tree lot, Spencer looked over at me with his tooth in his hand! ha! He said it just fell out.
Love that kid.
That night we got all the lights and ornaments on and, well…I think it’s the best one yet!!
We also have our upstairs tree that Samantha helped me decorate…
and plenty of other decorations inside and out!
Merry merry!!
70!
This weekend we are celebrating a big birthday! Daddo is 70!! Woohoo!
He’s always been the very best Daddy…
and the most awesome Daddo…
and we so wish we could celebrate him in person today but will see him soon. We love you Daddo and hope you have a zip-a-dee-doo-da kind of day!!
Cheers to 70 years!! Happy Birthday!!
More Highlands
We met up with our friends Friday morning for a little adventure walking around a new development – hiking trails, golf, a small lake, even chickens!
It was once again beautiful weather! The kids had fun playing around the water…
and you just knew one of them would end up in the water, right?! ha!
The boys spent the afternoon at home waiting for Maxwell’s shoes to dry! Robert went to the gym and Samantha and I took a little golf course walk. Perfect! That night Robert and I went out to dinner with Patrick and Liz which is always a treat. We started Saturday off on the right foot with a walk to the waterfall…
We then met back up with our friends and hiked Satulah – another favorite!
We cheered on the Tide that night to a big victory over Auburn. Roll Tide!! So thankful for a beautiful weekend!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Highlands for Thanksgiving
We headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving and had a great trip as always! We left early Wednesday morning and got there after lunch. There was a little rain that afternoon so we didn’t do much but we were happy to be there!
As has become a tradition, we hiked Whiteside Mountain on Thanksgiving morning! This is our 6th year to spend Thanksgiving in Highlands and our 4th year in a row to do this hike on Thanksgiving morning. It’s a great hike with the very best views at the top.
You simply can’t beat starting your day this way!!
Lou Lou whipped up a wonderful feast for us that afternoon!
After stuffing ourselves, we had to get out and work it off a little by hitting a few golf balls!
A fun and full Thanksgiving day in one of our favorite places!!
Gobble Gobble!
