Christmas 2010

{This post is a bit overdue...}

For Christmas this year, we headed over to my in-law's in Peachtree City, GA. We had a wonderful, relaxing time, enjoying ourselves with Bob's family. We spent four nights there - eating, drinking, and being merry!

Bobby played a lot with all of the trains at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They had one going around the Christmas tree, which was pretty fascinating for him.

He also had his Thomas Trains to keep him company too.

Santa made good on his promise, and treated our family with some new toys! {We were pretty good in 2010, ya know...}

Bobby's "big" gift, came from Grandma and Grandpa. They bought him his first Power Wheels toy. And, it just so happened to be Thomas the Train!

I love Bobby's face, as he sees his Thomas for the first time.

Bob got Lego's version of the Seattle Space Needle to play with... along with an iPad. Sometimes I feel like he's married to the iPad, and not me! Ha! I know the newness of it will wear off eventually. He's just a techie!

We were also able to also visit with the Weatherby's. Lonnie, the husband, grew up in Tacoma with Bob and his sister, Jo. He, his wife, and their daughter were able to join in the festivities on Christmas day. They live in the A-T-L.

Here's a cute shot of Bobby and Livi in Grandpa's studio. Aren't they to die for?

Here are just a few more family shots...

Overall, we had a great time! It was a Christmas to remember!

Ice, Ice Baby

Holy Batman! It's been a L.A.Z.Y day in my world today. The "big" snowstorm of 2011 was nothing too exciting here. We got a dusting of snow (if you even want to call it that) and a lot of ice. It started snowing last night, and I thought for sure we'd wake up with a few inches. Honestly, the weather app on my phone said to expect 2-4 inches. Was someone smoking crack at the Weather Channel? It just sucks to be stuck inside all day, all because of ice. I, at least wish we could've had snow to play in. Thankfully, we are heading to our neighbors' house to watch the big BCS Championship game after dinner. We are all going a bit stir crazy! And, this may be the only time I say this - but,

War Eagle!

Welcome Weekend Wander!

Happy Weekend Y'all!

I'm linking up with For the Love of Blog's Weekend Wander today.

What is everyone doing this weekend? We are expecting snow tomorrow afternoon, into Monday! I'm excited to get out and play in it! As for the rest of the weekend... I think it'll be pretty low-key. We'll most likely hit Costco today (love that place!). I'm going to try and gather up some old stuff to donate too. It's a new year, which means, time to declutter! We'll probably head to church tomorrow morning, and then lunch at PF Chang's with some new friends. That is... if the weather is ok!

By the way, we rented Dinner for Schmucks last night. Ugh. What a waste of time!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Back at It... with a New Look!

Hello friends!

Notice anything different? My blog has been revamped! I love the new look! Shannon of Persnickety Pages {& More} has been a busy bee. I was uber impressed with the first design she did, and am now even happier. How is that possible?!? I think it goes without saying that Shannon truly is persnickety when it comes to her designs. She always, always, always goes above and beyond.

Bobby's turning two in April, and I am already trying to think of a theme for his party. I am leaning towards Thomas the Train, because let's face it... he's obsessed. Anyhow, I will also be turning to Shannon to design his birthday invitation. Did you hear that Shannon? You're hired!

Onto other things...

My laundry pile is slowly starting to dwindle after our return home. And, I also completely counted the days we were gone. It wasn't 9, it was 11! Geez. My brain is fried. Thankfully though, life is returning to normal. We arrived home from our trip Monday night. On Tuesday, I went for a run with Bobby that morning, and just enjoyed getting the exercise. I feel like I've been a fat, junk-eating sloth since Halloween. After a long nap, I headed out to Publix for a big grocery shopping trip. Yesterday was spent with our normal morning trip to the library for story time. We then both headed home and crashed. It finally caught up to me. We both slept, and slept, and slept. Needless to say, it was well worth it, and needed. After a refreshing night out with some friends for dinner, I feel like a new woman today! I love seeing my family during the holidays, but I always feel so disconnected from my friends. It was great to catch up!

I'll be doing some trip, party, and holiday recaps over the next few days. I hope to not bore you all too much - but, I must document this stuff for our family!

Stay tuned... and, thank you again Shannon for the make-over!

Whew...

It has been quite the whirlwind of travels for us lately. We swung Atlanta, Orlando, and Miami in 9 days. I am swamped with laundry, errands, and getting our house back in order.

So, until all of that is done (hopefully today!), I will be neglecting my little ol' blog for a wee bit longer. Plus, I think Bobby is short-changing me on his nap today, and taking a shorter one than usual. I can hear that little guy on the monitor stirring in his crib.

I can't wait to update everyone on our Christmas, New Year's, travels, and my grandmother's 90th birthday party.

Plus...

With a New Year, comes a new look - and, I can't wait to show it off! {Soon enough.}

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season, and I hope to catch up with everyone soon.
