Pre-Christmas 2013

The boys were BIG fans of the Fisher Price Christmas toys this year.

Steven is still loving his new job at Eaton's Cooper Lighting. They had a Breakfast with Santa event for all the employees.  The boys enjoyed meeting Santa.  Alexander prepared a wish list for him that he was very proud of, and Elliot didn't even cry when he sat on Santa's lap.

Steven had some unused vacation days, so we took an Atlanta staycation before Christmas.  We spent the night in a hotel with an indoor pool (which spells VACATION to Alexander) and had a fun weekend at Legoland and the Tellus Science Museum.

Time for an Update

So Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, many family birthday celebrations, and Valentine's Day have all passed without an update to the family blog.  It is finally time!  Here are our happenings from the past few months.

We had a FANTASTIC holiday season this year.  What a fun time with family at the Gladden's.

We also enjoyed hanging out with all the Locys.  Elliot was not sure about playing in the leaves.

Thanksgiving is coming...

Alexander had his Thanksgiving feast at preschool today.  We are looking forward to spending time with family next week!

Look Whooo's One!

This year has flown by and now our baby is a walking, talking one-year-old.  Check out the pictures from his birthday bash.

Oh boy, look what Elliot can do!

Fall Festivities

It's here! It's here!  My favorite season is here!  Bring on the fall fun...

While Steven went on a male bonding backpacking weekend, the boys and I headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for some fall fun.  We went to Agriculture Day at Auburn University.  What a tractor!

We took a trip to Southern Belle Farm in McDonough, GA.  What would our landed ancestors say about us paying to play on a suped-up farm for the day?

And I'm sure we can all imagine how this went down...

I finally had to break down and take Elliot to get his first haircut.  I thought his precious curls were gone forever, but they are back in full force already.  And yes, that is a toy Hummer he got to play in while getting his first hair cut.

Happy Halloween!  Our Batman and Robin started the Halloween fun at a Moms Club Halloween party.

Alexander's Halloween parade at preschool

John and Shannon invited us over for Halloween night fun.  We participated in the golf cart Halloween parade in their neighborhood and went trick-or-treating.  The neighborhood goes ALL OUT, and the kids had so much fun!
