Silly Saturday

Here are some Silly Pictures I have collected over the last month!









Hope you have a Silly Saturday too!!

Snow Day Continued...

The Snow has been gone for several days but I did not want you to miss some of these fun pictures. Aunt MayMay spent the night with us on Thursday so she could spent lots of time with Miller before she headed back to Auburn on Saturday.

We started the day by making a YUMMY Snow Man.

Then we headed outside. It was C O L D!!!

17 degrees to be exact!

Poor Kaylee did not get to join us but that did not stop her from trying to squeeze under the fence to get to us.

We had LOTS of FUN with Aunt MayMay. We made Snow Angels on our flat bed trailer,

Had a Mini Snow ball fight,

Went on a little walk in the woods beside our house,



Played with our Dump Truck,



And just had fun being a KID!!

Snow Day!!

As most of you know most of North Alabama shut down today due to snow. It has been snowing off and on all day resulting in a pretty heavy dusting. We have gone out to play in the snow twice today. The first was right before Lunch and Miller was less then impressed so we headed in after about 5 minutes. After a couple of hours the snow really seemed to be coming down so we bundled up and headed out again. Miller was in awe. He did not know what to think of it. He had the most fun scooping up the snow off the walkway and throwing it into the flowerbed.

Saying Look, WOW, Snow!!

Catching Snowflakes

Really coming down!

Just Having Fun!

Favorite thing to do!!

Earlier this week we began preparing for snow by making our own snowflakes in hopes that we would see the real thing.

We began by cutting out snowflakes. I simply folded white and light blue construction paper in half twice and then folded it into a triangle making sure my folded edges were against each other. Then I went to town cutting. When I was done cutting, I opened them up to reveal BEAUTIFUL and unique snowflakes. Then it was time for embellishments. I began by letting Miller cover the entire snowflake with glue. Look at that concentration....he gets it from his MOM!

Then he sprinkled sugar over the glue to add a little sparkle to our flakes.

We hung ours from the curtain rod in our breakfast area.

Miller LOVES them and I think they are the perfect addition to the kitchen.

Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year!!

We have had such a great Christmas and New Year break that it has been hard to return to reality. I have attempted to update pictures with a detailed rundown of our Christmas festivities but I just can't find the motivation. Oh, so much has happened {including taking HUNDREDS of pictures} since I last posted. This year we did our best to experience Christmas to the fullest. We want the Christmas Season to be about making memories and celebrating Christ's birth with those we love the most. Miller is at such a great age, we LOVED experiencing Christmas through his tender eyes.

We spent Christmas day at home. We started with presents from each other. Miller really got into it, he opened his gifts first and then helped Luke and I open ours. My family joined us for Brunch and then we lounged around all day playing cards and eating left overs. Here is a glimpse into our day...

On Saturday we visited with Luke's family in Clanton. After a fun filled Lunch Luke's parents followed us back to Athens to spend a couple of days. They don't get to visit much so we made the most of our time together. Miller enjoyed showing them all his new toys. On Sunday my family joined us for a FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS {if I may say so myself} combined family Christmas dinner. Here is another glimpse...

We have had such a great time with family this Christmas and we look forward to what 2010 has in store for us!!
Happy New Year!
