Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Griffin enjoyed his first snow day. We only spent a few minutes outside because it was so cold. I bet next year he'll be running around making snowballs and building a snowman.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I started decorating a little early this year but I love the holidays - sue me. Scott was pulling out the Christmas trees before Thanksgiving, but with a little one in the picture it takes FOREVER to get anything done. Fast forward a few weeks and the trees are up, the mantle decorated and the outside decorations are done. Christmas is going to be magical this year especially now that we have sweet Griffin to share it with.

Thanksgiving

We've had a busy week traveling to our families houses for Thanksgiving. First, Griffin went to visit his cousins, Aunt Kim and PaPa Tim in South Carolina. He had a great time playing with the girls - they were so helpful entertaining him and even giving him a bath! It was a bittersweet trip - we had a great time visiting Scott's family, but really missed Nana. I know she was looking down on us in Heaven thankful that we were all together but I hate that she wasn't there to be with all of her grandchildren on Thanksgiving.

We also traveled back to North Carolina to visit my family. Griffin played with his Uncles and PopPop and got lots of hugs and kisses from GiGi. We carried on the tradition of Black Friday shopping starting the day at 4:30 - and we got lots of good deals!

We love the holidays and are so thankful that we got to spend lots of time with our family! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Happy Thanksgiving

We are THANKFUL

Fun at the Park

The cold weather will be here soon ... so until then we are enjoying sunny afternoons at the park. Griffin really likes the playing on the slide. Unfortunately, he is too small to go down the slide by himself - that means daddy gets to slide with him. Let's hope Scott doesn't get stuck in there!

Weekend visit to Charlotte

This weekend Griffin and I took a trip to GiGi and PopPop's house. GiGi and I went to the Southern Christmas Show on Saturday and Griffin got a chance to visit with PopPop and Uncle Jon Jon later that night. He had a great time at the show - looking at all of the people and Christmas decorations.

Griffin is such a busy boy and is constantly grabbing and touching anything he can get his hands on. In the past two weeks he has broken a plate AND a table. We can not take our eyes off of him for one second - Seriously, what are we going to do once he starts walking? Even Uncle Jon Jon couldn't believe how fast he was grabbing stuff. As soon as he took something away, Griffin already had something else in his hands. This child is faster than the speed of light!
