Christmas 2009

Here are a few shots from Christmas 2009. They are a little out of order, but that is ok. We had a great Christmas with friends and family in Dalton this year. It is hectic with a 14 month old, but I think she had fun playing with her friends, cousins, and family. Thanks to everyone who we celebrated with...it was wonderful!!! The family on Christmas Day.

Ginny and her buddy James Floyd at a Christmas Eve party. Ginny was trying to hug..."tackle" him all night. Sorry James.

The moms and the kids.

Trying out some of her new gifts from Santa.

Gingerbread Houses

Today Ginny had some friends over to play and make gingerbread houses. We had 3 friends and their mommies come play, make houses, and have lunch. The kids and moms had a wonderful time. Here are some pictures from the day.

December Fun

Saturday we had "Family Fun Christmas Day" in Atlanta. We started with breakfast with Santa. Ginny loved breakfast, but did not love Santa. We then went to the Botanical Gardens and saw a train, dogs dressed as reindeer, and lots of plants. It was fun, but next time we need to go when it is not so cold. We ended the day with some pizza for lunch and Ginny talking on our cell phones. From the picture it looks like she has the hang of it. What a great day!

Did not like Santa.....

Just before Santa...all smiles!!

The Pink Pig

Saturday we took Ginny to Atlanta to ride The Pink Pig and do some Christmas shopping. She did great!! We left Cartersville about 9:00 am and did not return until about 6:30. We ate lunch, dinner, rode the Pig, went shopping, and had a Santa sighting at Phipps. We wanted to introduce Ginny to Santa before her appointment to get her picture taken with the guy in the Red Suit. She did not like him then, hopefully things will change. In the picture below you can see that she did not like the Chick-Fil-A Santa either. What a great day!!!! HELP!!!!
One last snack before the Pink Pig Ride.

Not a great picture, but you can see us on the ride. Ginny liked it...and did great while we had to wait in line almost an hour for tickets and then to get on, too!

Busy Days

Here are some random shots from the past few days. We love the leaves....Ginny loves playing in them and trying to eat them!
We went to Collier's birthday yesterday...he was 5!

Suzie played with us, too.

Saturday we went to Ella's house to watch football, play with our friends, and obviously eat snacks.

Thursday was picture night at Kindermusik...only two classes left, but we are singing again in the winter/spring.

Ginny loves her new wagon.

Fall Leaves

We love the pretty fall leaves at our house!

Happy Birthday, Ginny!!!

We had a big weekend...Ginny's 1st Birthday and Halloween. Ginny had a great time at her party even though it rained and was a little cooler than we had hoped. Thanks to all the friends and family that celebrated with Ginny!!! It really means a lot to all of us. The birthday girl getting ready.
