December/Merry Christmas

Hello to my blogger friends. I've got lots of catching up to do starting from Christmas. My Camera has been on the fritz and I finally got it working.

We had a wonderful white Chritmas. It snowed here in GA. Rileigh was really into Santa Claus this year but was totally spoiled by Santa and both sets of Grandparents. Emma still was a little too young to understand but loved her new presents. Here are some pics from Christmas.

My siter in law and I took the girls to Lenox to see the Pink Pig. It was a first for all of us. The girls seemed to like it.



My sister Allison and I headed to Marietta for a pie baking class from my mom. She makes the most amazing homemade pies from her mother's receipe.



Here are some pics from Christmas Eve and Day






Christmas day it snowed!Our first white Christmas! Here we are when the fist snow flakes started to come down.

We are alive!

Sorry I've been a horrible blogger for the month of November! Since I work retail, this past month has been SOOO busy and stressful. But thank the good Lord, Black Friday is over.

I'm having trouble uploading pics to my computer again, so sorry there are no pics this time.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of yummy food, with both families. Scott's parents were in Maine so we did not get to spend time with them this year. Emma is FINALLY walking! She has won the award in the family for the longest time to walk. She just turned 18 months and is cuter than ever! Rileigh is really into the Christmas season this year. We brought out elf on the shelf and she named her elf "Peter". It's been really easy getting her to behave and eat her veggies at dinner. All I have to say is "Santa is watching you" and she straightens right up.

My sister in law, Missi and I took the girls to see the new Disney movie Tangled this week. Rileigh's first "real" movie and she loved it. Today we went to see Santa....and Emma was not so thrilled to see him! Which was to be expected. Rileigh and Ava talked his heads off.

Hopefully I'll be albe to get some pictures up soon. Happy December! Sorry for the randomness...but just a quick update.

5 year Anniversary

Friday was our 5 year wedding Anniversary! I can't believe it! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and father to my 2 beautiful girls. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for the next 5 years and so on! Friday these beautiful flowers got delivered to my work. Scott surprised me....and as you can tell he did a great job!

Happy 3rd Birthday Rileigh

Rileigh turned 3 yesterday! Yes, 3....I can't get over my little girl is 3. It seriously seems like yesterday we were at the hospital. She is such a special girl! She keeps us laughing all the time. We had her party Sunday at a park in Dawsonville with friends and family. Rileigh loved all her presents and especially loved her cake!





This is so funny to me...Emma was into this card

Burt's Pumpkin Farm

Last Friday we took our annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin farm. The girls loved the hay ride and all the huge pumpkins. Although it was really hot. October is one of my favorite months of the year.

Destin 2010

Last week we went to Destin, Florida with my parents and sister Allison. Scott was not able to go because of work. I had lots of good helpers with the kids, but we missed Daddy SO much. Rileigh loved the beach and would of stayed playing in the sand all day long. Emma...not so much. She would rather be at the pool lounging in her float. The weather was perfect and there were not many people down there. My definition of a perfect vacation!
