Santa

First Santa sighting for the year!

Luke was eager to check Santa out but sitting in his lap, well he did it but with much apprehension.

Thanksgiving in Naples

We had a marathon Thanksgiving vacation.  Friday we drove to Daphne, Sat to Auburn for their homecoming game, and Sat night to Naples, arriving around 2am!  The kids it amazingly well with the hectic hours.  We had a great week going to the beach and enjoying the warm Florida sunshine all in good company!  Bry, Justin and I ran the Gobble Gobble 4 miler Thursday morning so we had a great excuse for a second helping!

 

 

Three little peas in a pod.  Luke HAS to do everything the big kids do.

Family Tradition

Before we left home, we made our ice box fruit cake to get it in the fridge so it will be ready for Christmas.  So Elizabeth helped Papa with his while in town!  Grandma couldn’t really remember where the recipe came from but Papa said he remembers always having it. 

While they were cooking Wed, they also made pumpkin pie and pecan pie.  Elizabeth was in heaven!

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma!

 

 

 

After our Thanksgiving feast, we celebrating my Grandma Snell’s 90th’s birthday.  Her actual birthday is today, Nov 30.  Very special times seeing the kids interact with her.

Beach fun leads to big naps!!

Logan and the Saintsations!

Playing in the pecan leaves

AU Homecoming fun

Zoo visit

 

After the walk we decided to swing by the zoo since we were right there and haven’t been in a while.  It was too much for Luke so he opted for the power nap.

He woke for us to find he had soak himself.  So he was left with this emergency onsie and his boots – it was quite a site!  But you can see he’s still adorable!

He’s a strong little one who loves to climb.

We did stop to see a few animals and little mrs vet had to touch all of them.  This lady asked her to take it easy, I think E would have held it herself if allowed.

 

But we spent most of our time at the play ground!  That’s the great thing about having a membership.  You don’t feel like you are forced to see everything every time you go.  Go, have some fun and then go home!

Busy Saturday

We started the day early helping daddy set up the Chevron tent at the Junior Diabetes Walk at Audubon Park.

 

The Chevron Team

Kids were more than happy to get snowballs at the end of the walk along with a maze, jump houses and lunch.

And face painting too!  Great weather and beautiful oaks for climbing.
