We took the whole crew to church on Sunday. We took up the whole first row with pretty much no wiggle room :) We may need to become double rowers. Haha!
We were welcomed home to an uncommonly warm house hat didn't want to cool down. So after church Opa and Devin investigated. They found this!
An inch of ice, at least.
They took,a couple of hair dryers to it and then set up a space heater to finish off thawing the elements.
It finally worked. We had no idea that was a possibility so we will be better about checking on it.
Before Patrick and Whitneys family left we took some pics
. Here is the gang with Opa and Nana. Saide, Leigh, Lucy, Opa with Wyatt, Nana with Eddi, Cole, Alden, Caelyn. Love all these hooligans!
We never get pictures of the adults (I guess Opa and Nana aren't adults!) lol. It's nice to be closer to family. We sure are soaking up as much as we can whenever we get a chance!
Monday Devin took half a day and we took Opa and Nana frisbee golfing.
Cole found this huge leaf!
Lucy found one too :)
Action shots!
The kids did awesome. They excitedly went through 7 holes. Then we hit the playground and they wanted to play. We took everyone to Jonas for seafood! It is such an amazing place, I LOVE their shrimp and grits. Since we had more people this time we go to sample some different dishes too. It was all very tasty!
We finished off our break by driving up to Auburn to visit Auntie Spwanza.
I had to take a picture to prove Eddi slept in the car on the way up--for an HOUR! none of our babies like the car until they are about 2. This guys is no exception.
We got there early in the morning, played and visited and headed to her good friends house to have some lunch. It was AMAZING food and they are really good people. I'm so glad we got to spend time with them (and that our kids didn't break anything!)
After lunch we headed back to Esperanza's and had the kids nap while we made the food for our New Year festivities.
Dressed up
Attacked Auntie Spwanza with these thingys
blew up a bazillion balloons
Cole enjoyed her library of animal books
And set up a photo booth!
I think this was one of my favorite parts
He didn't think so.
It took him a while to come site with us and then he didn't even grace us with smile....All because I took him away from his beloved books.
So funny!
Ok so this was my favorite part. We filled up the photo booth area with all the balloons. Had the adults block the door way, and let the kids go crazy playing in all the balloons!
They had a lot of fun!
There were minimal injuries ;)
We partied later than the kids have ever been up. It was well worth it and lots of fun. In the morning we took it slow, then went to a park and played. We recently discovered that Cole gets sick from spinning too much. It happened over thanksgiving and it happened again at the park. We were telling him he looked green and to sit down for a while. Sadie came up a few minutes later, sat by him and said, "Cole, it looks like my belly is turning green too." Love the things they say.
We made a pit stop on the way home to see the foster girls Esperanza had last year. It was a good trip!
This was the look I got as he fell asleep on the way home....just incase you were wondering how much he truly hates that carseat! haha!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
