Thanksgiving in Blue Ridge

I had such a great Thanksgiving and mommy says I have so much to be thankful for! Well, I know I am very thankful for candy!


The first night or two I kept asking when we were going home. We never really slept at any of our friends' house in NC. But, when it was time to go home, I wanted to stay. We got there late Wednesday night, but not too late to open presents! I go this opening thing down baby and boy did I rack up!


Thursday was a day of good eating and playing in the woods. We also enjoyed hunting for sticks, the fire outside, and roasting marshmallows. I enjoyed running around the deck with Zo. Jackson and I had fun playing together too.











Friday morning, I had Old Ma Ma's beignets for the first time and I really REALLY liked em! We took a drive to Blue Ridge to see what we were missing. After strolling down the streets and exploring the area, we decided to eat at a restaurant along the Toccoa River. I liked watching the river, but not as much as the yummy candy stick we grabbed on the way out!










Jax and I did some gingerbread decorating and I must say we did better than the people who built it. By the end of the night, our gingerbread house had quite the skylight going on!




Saturday, we played a lot outside because the weather was warmer. I kept Jackson company while he relaxed in the hot tub and brought him ice upon request.



Uncle Brett was my buddy--is that the term for someone who will do whatever I want? Yeah so I liked hanging with him! We must have gone up and down the steps I'd say 300 times, and we played pool. Of course, I won right? He also took me on walks to look for animals.





We had such a great time taking in the scenery while catching up with family. What a wonderful trip!

Fall

All the fall and Halloween festivities sure have kept us busy so sorry it has been a while.

We had fun carving a pumpkin this year for Halloween and I was such a big help!






We have been doing a lot of fun art stuff for the fall.

Hand-print tree collage



Coloring leaves and leaf wreath








The weather has been so nice, but the time change sure puts a damper on our playtime! I love going to our park and playing on the slide and we sometimes can't get there in time during the week. One night, we fired up the grill and played in the dark in the backyard instead!




"Mickey songs ... Mickey songs... Mickey songs PLEASE!" I love my cds and I went through a phase where Mickey was all I wanted to hear. Mommy and Daddy have not only memorized the words, but the order of songs!



I had a great Halloween. Daddy came to my class gathering and hung out with me.



Drinking out of my cup after spilling the first try. It was filled to the top you know!


Playing around in my classroom...






I had a blast trick-or-treating and caught on really quick! I went with my buddy Jameson and we had just as much fun with the wagon.












Dancing...surprised?




I got to eat LOTS of chocolate!


We went to watch the Saints beat the Falcons at Tony and Courtney's house. They are big Falcon fans. And I cheered for the "Tigers" the whole time. Yep, every time I see football on tv I say "GO TIGERS!" So Peyton and I did some tailgating before the game and I was ready to cheer!







Walking in what I call Mommy's "boots."


Dumping and filling peanuts.


Hi there!

October fun

Pumpkin Patch

Boy did I have a blast at the Pumpkin Patch today! We had great cool fall weather. I climbed the hay mountain, walked through the hay maze, played with Peyton and Grant in the corn maze, went on a hay ride, and picked my own pumpkin. I know..Wow!

Just little warning. This video is a little rough because Mommy is trying to follow me.




More pumpkin patch pics here.

The fall projects are starting up and I'm loving it.


Showing off my cool shirt and dance moves.


I am doing better at school. Drop off is still pretty rough, but mommy peaks in on me when she picks me up and I am adjusting just fine. I have a Spanish teacher that comes every other week to sing songs and my teachers implement it in the classroom. I'd say I am picking it up rather quickly.


Did you know that this month is Fire Prevention month? I got a cool hat at school and Mommy took me to see the firetruck at our local toy store. I was pretty impressed.







Last weekend, we went to Pullen Park for Lila's 3rd birthday party. I met up with Kendria and Tristan. We had a great time!






After, we had friends over to watch the Florida vs LSU game. I was dressed to impress as usual. It is just perfect that my favorite color is purple.




Two weeks ago, we went to the good ole museum. I love the motion room. Can you tell?




That afternoon, we went over to Tina's to watch the Georgia/LSU game with some UGA fans. It was fun watching Daddy and Tony go back and forth. All I know is when I yelled TOUCHDOWN, I got applause and that's always a win for me!


TOUCHDOWN!
