Christmas in the South

I know the Charlie Brown Christmas tree traditionally only has one red bulb on it, but this year it had to make room for a couple more.....

Our baby tree for our baby ornaments <3 

Hopefully we can get a good deal on a tree after Christmas for next year : ) 

Fun in the Kitchen...

Jeremy used to skip breakfast every morning and his lunch would consist of a bologna sandwich, yogurt and an apple....but this year has been a little different! Every Sunday I usually spend some time in the kitchen and get everything set for his week.

Ham, egg and cheese muffins for breakfasts...

And a calzone ring for lunches! 

What fun things have you been cooking up lately?! 

New York goodies!

New York doesn't just bring family, but great friends as well. We don't get to see as many people as we want to while we are there. Our time is usually pretty limited and obviously family comes first. It's also pretty difficult for us to want to get back in the car and go to a million different places after the 20 hour trip! 

But these two special ladies made the trip to come see us at my parents house and I love them dearly! 

We are sorry to all the friends we didn't get to see while we were there! You know you are all loved anyways : ) 

There are two other pretty awesome things that New York has...

There is one thing from my childhood that I will never forget. When it's grape season you drive down the road with the windows open and smell that delectable smell......mmmmm! I was so excited to see two jars of fresh homemade grape juice waiting for me at my parents house from my cousin Mary! 

And of course, Sahlen hotdogs. If you have never had one before, I am sorry. I probably won't share with you. They are literally the best hotdog in the world! 

Daniel Fun!

It had been far too long since we got to see this little guy and we had a blast hanging out with him for the week! He is such a good boy!

We gave him his Christmas present while we were there...

Time for some of Bompa's popcorn!

Thanksgiving "Day"

My dad had to work on Thanksgiving Day so we celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday. I caught a few shots of Bompa and Daniel watching the parade Thursday morning though! 

Look at that face!

I can't remember why we dared mom to get up and do the same thing with dad that he was doing with Daniel, but....she did it! 

Stinky toes everywhere!

Lots of family time....

Coloring our tablecloth has become a tradition for us! 

And of course, some turkey naps : )
