Tis the Season...

Did we REALLY visit Santa?

It was a cold and snowy day so we decided to take the kids to the mall to get out some energy. We would have included pictures of the kids playing in the snow, but seeing as they lasted all of 5 minutes, we only have pictures of Brinley who had no choice but to pose in the cold! Kids are so soft these days................

As it turns out, Monday Mornings are a good time to see Santa... No waiting in line!! However, with the monopoly 1 old beared man has on pictures, the prices are outrageous!! (can't really have 2 competing Santas in the same mall... or could you????) So a collective decision was made to have a "meet and great" with Santa, but no pictures. So the actual meeting will forever be just a memory. But for scapbooking sake, we do have "before" and "after" pictures!!

Making Daddy Proud!!!

Nothing makes a daddy more proud than seeing his only son playing with dolls and wearing lipstick!!!

Fall Park Day

Hanging out with our best friends............

1st Annual Christmas Getaway??

We, meaning Becca and Bill, have just returned from a weekend getaway to the mountains.... WITHOUT kids!!!!!!!! Joined on this weekend by Sara, Jack, Kristin and Donnie..... but did I mention NO kids!!! It was a cold, wet, snowy weekend but a very relaxing way to spend the past 48 hours. So relaxing in fact, that all involved have decided to make this a new family tradition. However, there was concern raised over the wear and tear on the Grandparents as the number of grandchildren continues to grow!! (Well only if the other 2 couples ever start having kids... so this probably won't be an issue anytime soon!!)

So after a leisurely late morning breakfast, we did finally rescue Becca's parents from the pandemonium of our 3 kids. Upon picking them up it was visibly unclear who was more worn out.... kids or grandparents. Needless to say all involved took a long nap this afternoon. (as seen below) Now it is back to reality for the Pendergrass orphanage and trust me, the kids immediately returned to normality this evening as the dinner/bath/bed times issues picked up where they left off last Friday!!!
