Sleepovers w/ cousins....


Abby went to spend the night at Emma's and Kaia slept over at our house with Hannah & Lexy....fun times with family - smiley face

Fun w/ the Incrediball




Thank you Grandpa & Granny for all the fun everyone is having with Hannah's Christmas present....

Pink Pig






Love sharing this Atlanta tradition with our family....an afternoon trip to ride the Pink Pig and dinner at our house with everyone.  A great afternoon/evening filled with full tummys and lots of laughs!

quick trip...

On our way to dinner at Gma's, we made a quick trip to Stone Mtn Park to upgrade some unused tickets from Aunt Dana for annual passes for next year....looking forward to some family fun.  While Chris was doing the paperwork, I snapped this pix of the girls w/ the nutcrackers - smiley face - so cute!  Abby was devastated we weren't staying to do snow mountain today.....she's going to LOVE it when we go back in January for lots & lots of sledding (and Chris is going to love that we don't have to drive to NC for an overnight trip to satisfy Hannah's never ending desire to see snow again - she  LOVES it).  Fun times ahead...smiley face.  Thanks Aunt Dana & Uncle Chris - hopefully you'll be able to come with us next year when you are in town!

Rudolph at Atlanta Puppetry Arts




We enjoyed Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer at the Center for Puppetry Arts w/ Granny, Grandpa, Aunt Meredith, Charlie & Julia....and stayed to make puppets afterwards.  Love a christmas puppet show tradition - smiley face

Atlanta Botanical Gardens & the Varsity



















All bundled up, we enjoyed our first trip at Christmas time to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens....and dinner afterwards at Grandpa's favorite - The Varsity. 

Fernbank









We enjoyed the day at Fernbank with everyone....dinosaurs, bubbles and more...

The Morning After





Having fun with all our Christmas gifts....Abby immediately woke up wanting to play with her sand art, Lexy got her Ohh La La spa out & curled everyone's hair, bejewled them and added color and Hannah got the pottery wheel going with Daddy (although Mommy finished up helping her make a vase)....fun times.  So many great gifts to play with...thank you everyone!!!!
