SEC Championship and Christmas Festivities! + Snow in the South!

We have had a lot of fun the past 3 weeks.  At the beginning of the month Taylor and her class went to watch a play of The Grinch Stole Christmas.  It was cute, and she had a lot of fun!  Then, on December 2nd, Bryant and I had an absolute BLAST at the SEC Championship game.  It was great.  No other words, just great. 😄  That next week we actually got some snow in Georgia.  We barely got any in Athens, but me and a friend drove our kiddos until we got to the snow...which was about an hour NW.  It was such a fun little adventure.  Taylor definitely liked the snow, and Thomas absolutely loved it!  The next week was filled with Christmas parties for all three of the kiddos!  It was tons of fun.  We've had lots of other stuff going..like basketball for Bryant, and seeing Santa, etc.... You can see the pics below!  Since I'm sure I won't post again before Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

 Fun in the snow with friends.
 The next morning we got a tiny bit of snow...so of course we made snowballs to throw at each other.

 Santa at the ACC!
 Thomas didn't love him, but he also didn't cry...and the other two are looking quite awkward...but oh well!
 Bryant dribbling in for a shot at his first game of the season.
HE SHOOTS....and he doesn't score. 😉
I accidentally left Sam in the rain for a few hours...he was not happy about it. 😂

Until next time...

Football, Trips to Opelika, & Thanksgiving!!

The past three weeks have been so much fun!!  The week of the Georgia-Auburn game the kids and I all went down to Opelika (which is right by Auburn) to spend the weekend with my parents.  We got to hang out with my sister and her kids and my parents a lot. It was so much fun!  On Saturday Bryant and I went to the game.  Before the game we went and saw some friends from Birmingham.  It was great to see them as always.  Then we had some of our friends from Athens with us at the game.  Other than that, I don't want to talk about it. ;)  The following week Bryant started basketball.  He has just had a handful of practices so far, but he loves it!!  Also, Thomas and Taylor had their Thanksgiving Feast at their preschool.  They each sang a song in their classroom and then we ate lunch.  It was cute and fun!  That weekend was the Georgia-Kentucky game.  I took all three kiddos to the game by myself.  It worked out great because we were in a suite, so it was actually pretty easy.  The kids ate a lot, walked around and played a lot, and watched a little of the game.  But at least I got to watch it.  It really was fun having all three of them with me. :)  The following week was Thanksgiving, and the kids were out of school for the entire week.  The first part of the week we stayed in town.  The kids helped me decorate for Christmas, and then we just hung out.  Wednesday we went and picked out our tree, and that night the kids and Josh decorated it together!  On Thursday we went over to some friends house to have a delicious Thanksgiving meal and just hang out.  I am so thankful to have good friends here in Athens that we can celebrate holidays with!  Friday morning the kids and I headed back down to Opelika for the weekend.  We once again just hung out with the fam, and watched lots of football!  This week we've been busy getting back in the groove of things and getting excited for this weekend!  GO DAWGS!!  Anyway, that's it for now, below are lots of pictures.

Excellent Pecan Pickers!
