Frosty

As I was travelling back from Nashville this evening, Greg texted me a couple of pictures of the kids enjoying a Frosty from Wendy's.  yum!!

Sweet 16

Greg and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage today.  It hasn't been perfect, but there has been waaay more good than bad.  We've had fun and would do it all over again!

Giving Thanks

We went back to Hickory to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends who became our family during our tenure there!  We ate, talked, laughed, played games, danced, sang along with Pandora, and giggled all day and into the night!

 after a delicious lunch, we headed outside for some driveway gating!  We had the tents set up, football on tv, desserts and a fire pit

 the boys played a little football

 Cooper played pirates

 the girls ate dessert

 the adults played corn hole...and I just have to brag that Greg and I are the BAMily grand champions of corn hole!!

 Jess, Me, Amy

 silly guys

 they can be somewhat normal too!

 Cooper was feeling left out of the photos

 they all made fun of me for having on 3 shirts, a fleece jacket, and a toboggan...but I was warm!

 Cooper and mommy (Reagan spent most of her time with the "big girls" away from mom & dad)

 Fun around the fire

 doesn't that face scream "enough with the pictures!"?

 one more girl photo

 I love this man!

 the Boninis joined us for the fire pit fun!

It was so good to see all of our friends again.  Too bad our time was short.  We were able to join up with more friends, but alas there are no pictures.  We visited with Ms Deb before we left and we met up with the Whitfords for a four hour breakfast at the Cracker Barrel!

Busy Saturday

Cooper was invited to a friend's birthday party today and since Greg had to go into work, Reagan got to party too!  The party was at PUMP IT UP, and they couldn't have had more fun!

 jumping in the bounce house

 There was an inflatable obstacle course where Reagan and Cooper raced each other many, many times

 so.much.fun.

 they each had a turn playing air hockey - the app on my phone really paid off!

 all the party-goers

 everyone was asked to make a silly face.  I missed Cooper's, but you can just imagine!

 time for cake and ice cream (at 11am!)

 After the party, we took lunch to daddy, but the kids were most excited about getting to ride the "green thing"

 holding on to the handle bars for dear life!

 she giggled the whole time!

 Dad and his loves!

We also took Greg dinner to work that night, but no pictures of that...I think the kids had had enough of their picture being taken!
