Auntie Allison had a baby girl!!

Got to love on this sweet baby girl today. I know Ardan is sad he missed it, but a sniffly kid need not approach Miss Caroline just yet.

We have been so enjoying our time in Warsaw, VA celebrating the Christmas season with family and friends.  Even the red dogs are loving it.  We went on a hike through the woods yesterday with all the kiddos.

Nolan's Preschool Christmas Program

A.mazing morning at Nolan's preschool Christmas program.  He did amazing singing all of the songs in front of a full house of parents and family members of 3 classes.  Oppie, DD, and Nanny all were able to attend and support this awesome little guy.

Thanksgiving 2017

What a fun Thanksgiving we had this year.  We celebrated in Weddington, NC with Nanny, Poppop, Linda, Randy, and Great Nana.  We played games, played football, rode in the Jeep and enjoyed family time with lots of yummy food.

Halloween 2017

We spent Halloween with the Grants and had an amazing time.  The kids did great trick or treating, but more fun was watching them hand out candy at the house!  We had Mario (Ardan), Bowser (Nolan), Gecko from PJ Masks (Liam). After a total sugar spazz in the front yard they crashed for a good night's sleep.
