NIghts of Lights

During the Holiday season, Lake Lanier Islands always host a Night of Lights tour! This has been going on for years....we use to go all the time in Highschool....just to give us something to do! It is actually quite amazing how they can generate some many lights...it is crazy! When you get done with the tour of lights....there is a BIG gift shop and TWO HUGE fire pits where you can roast mashmellows and drink Hot Chocolate. There is also a mini carnival that most kids enjoy doing....pending the weather! We haven't been in awhile and went with a group of friends in an R.V. and toured the lights. It actually was pretty cool because the kids were able to sit at the windows and look at everything while the adults were in awe as well or just relaxing!

Picturessssss!

Hello Blog Family.....I posted pictures per your request.....ENJOY!

I have more to come but I will share those at Christmas time. Love to all and Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving

Hello, I know it has been a while and Braylen has changed so much but I/we have been so busy with her that I keep forgetting to document it....ugh! She is in a stage that is A LOT of FUN! All those crazy teeth have come through and she isn't as grumpy anymore. The chick...is very independent....loves to run and go up and down the stairs.....loves to walk Addie and LOVES to boss her around...ha! She is still very much a cuddler and has just entered the stage of saying "Mine"....not good...right? I am assuming she learned that word at playschool but we are definitely working on that! I have TWo favorite parts of my day with Braylen...when we wake up....she is really fun for the first two hours and then when she goes to bed, she gets really restless and wild and wants to do summer saults on the bed....just wants to goof off...but I LOVE it. I am considering putting her in gymnastics somwhere around town.....(if any of you have suggestions)....she just loves to jump and crawl on anything so I think gymnastics would be an excellent way to release some energy.

So...on to Thanksgiving. Our whole family went up to visit Elisabeth, Adam, and Bodie....it was WONDERFUL! Mom and Dad left the Sunday before and Hannah, Braylen, and I left the Monday before and Grant had to work so he flew up Thanksgiving morning....it all worked out perfectly! The kids really enjoyed playing with each other and that is where Braylen didn't want Bodie to play with her toys. Braylen is so use to playing with older kids and having them take toys away from her that when she realized that she could control lil Bodie....she did and would pull the toy right away from him. ANywho, us girls went shopping a couple of days....we all ate amazing food, and really just relaxed and enjoyed each others company! Elisabeth and Adam were wonderful HOST....she cooked us meals and took us out to a famous BBQ restraunt....Montgomery Inn....and we got to tour Cincinnatti! It really is a cool city.....!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving....we went to the City and went to a Pub and got to enjoy the downtown life....we did it in the afternoon with the kids and then came back and watched football and hung out with their neighbors. Elisabeth and Adam are truely blessed to have such fun loving neighbors.....it waas a GREAT time!

More pictures to come! We kind of had a photo opp in Kentucky but I want to wait just a little bit in case some of us choose to use them on the Christmas card.....I don't want to be the spoiler...ha! I still need to share Braylen's photo session with Santa...i will do that next as well!
