Seeing the Coles in Hoschton

November 21, 2010

With Cathy and Josef in town from New Orleans for Thanksgiving, we all went to see The Cole's new home. They moved from Flowery Branch to Hoschton.

Playing in the leaves. Bella and all the boy cousins.

This is one of my top pictures of 2010. Anna is so happy to walk with support.

I forgot to take a picture of their new home but will definitely snap one the next time we visit.

Celebrating with MeeMaw

November 17, 2010 The girls and I went to see MeeMaw on her birthday. Bella and I made cupcakes and brought a few gifts for MeeMaw, even some special gifts Aunt Marilyn dropped by our house. MeeMaw was at my "Granny's" house, so we drove to Tucker to celebrate.

Glad that we got to celebrate with MeeMaw on her actual birthday. Nice to make another memory with the girls seeing their great grandmother too.

Santa Pictures

November 11, 2010
We went and had Santa pictures early this year before all the hustle and bustle. As you can see, the girls were super pumped about going.

Waiting to see Santa...really waiting on sister

After much encouragement and a little pushing

Enjoying all the other fun stuff

Chocolate and big girl sleeping

As said before, this little girl is not big into trying new things, therefore, this is her first piece of chocolate at 3 years and a few weeks old.
The verdict: she loved it and is hooked now. She also developed a new sense of trying out all her new Halloween candy. Wonder when she will open up to ice cream?

No...we did not use the chocolate to get her to stay in bed. We did figure that at a little over 3 years was time to make the switch to the big girl bed. She was very proud and excited. Note though: she loved her crib and that is why we had not changed until this point. With never climbing out and sleeping great why change.

She did great and has since the Nov. 6th switch. Not once has she got out during the night and even calls for us to get her up in the morning...her choice. Guess 3 years of being in the crib did us well.

Halloween with the family

October 31, 2010 We had family over for some pizza and a little neighborly trick or treating.

Anna ready and happy
