Disney on Ice




Savanna got all of mommy and daddy's attention at Disney on Ice. I think they had as much fun as she did though. Disney really is magical! The theme was celebrations so Alice in Wonderland celebrated an unbirthday and the princesses helped demonstrate love at Valentine's Day. The villains from Disney were at a Halloween party and the whole gang brought in the Christmas season. We had a great afternoon!

Holiday fun and games







We headed downtown for the welcoming of Santa, aka "Ho Ho," and the lighting of the tree. Savanna saw some friends from school which excited her to no end and Sadie enjoyed following along and doing what she could. We played with goats (Bo was there and his brother Jangles was at home) and met Mrs. Claus. There is something intimidating about the Mr. because neither of the girls will get close. The library provided a place to decorate ornaments which are hanging on our playroom tree as well as games and snacks. Now that is talking our language. It was a fun evening to start our holiday season!

It's Snowing!














We have enjoyed going to the NC mountains for quite a few years now to pick out our Christmas tree. This year it was so cold but to see the snow was just beautiful! Savanna enjoyed eating it off the trees and throwing snowballs while Sadie couldn't wait to get inside where it was warm. Noah and Pa were quick in selecting the perfect tree this year so they too could get out of the cold but I must say ours is perfect. It fits perfectly and looks lovely in our living room with our keepsake ornaments. Everybody wants to look and touch every day. Sadie had the most fun shopping in West Jefferson. We always end our trip with dinner and shopping there.

November favorites











More birthday fun




Well, the birthday season in our household has almost passed. Abby will be 7 in December but the rest of us have finished celebrating now. For mommy's birthday we tailgated and cheered on the Tar Heels as they claimed the victory bell against Dook for another year. It was a beautiful day to be in Chapel Hill. We even got daddy to wear "light blue". He refuses to call it Carolina blue. No "birthday trip" for daddy but his girls did treat him to dinner out.
