Trip to Cashiers

November, 25 Today, we went up to NC to go cut down our Christmas tree. We headed north of mom and dad's house about an hour just about the beautiful mountain town of Cashiers to Christmas Moss Farms. It was cold and foggy at 3000+ elevation, but their trees were gorgeous. I don't think we got any kind of deal cutting our own tree, but boy does our whole house smell divine this evening! Think we've found a new family tradition!!!

Black Friday

Yes, we did it...AND in Atlanta with two little kids. And, I must say, it was a success. Kinsey and Max had their photo made with the famous Phipps Santa Claus. Max about drove the poor man crazy trying to reach his beard. These pictures were taken behind Santa's backdrop trees since you weren't allowed flash photography at Santa himself. We shopped (mostly children's clothing stores) for about 3 or 4 hours and came home to try and recover from the previous day's mess!

Turkey Day

What a busy day! We have so much to be thankful for in our family this year. We were sad that Lar Lar, Paul, and Cousin Thomas were sick and had to stay home this Thanksgiving, but welcomed Nanny, Papadad, Granny, Nan, Granddaddy, and Pop to share Jack's beautiful smoked turkey and delicious veggies and desserts prepared by everyone. God even blessed us with a beautiful, drought-relieving downpour in the morning. After our meal, we went to Atlanta to watch the annual Lenox Tree Lighting Ceremony. FREEZING, but fabulous indeed! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Halloween

I know it is extremely late to post Halloween pictures, but just getting any posted is an accomplishment for me! This year, we again participated in the Lane Creek hayride Trick or Treat with the Griners and friends. Both kids really had a wonderful night. Max really got into character for the evening!

Pumpkin Patch 2007

We spent another funfilled evening this fall at the Washington Farms Pumpkin Patch. One night we took the kids to the corn maze. We let Kinsey and her flash light lead us for a good hour or two. These pictures, though, are from the night we went with some of Kinsey's friends and did the cow train and hayride.

Fun at Nanny & Papadad's

November 4, 2007 These pictures are from a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd post a few pictures of Kinsey and Max's fun times at the grandparent's house in SC. Kinsey loved riding Sugar the pony and playing in the hottub and Max just enjoyed getting loved on.
