Our visit with Santa 2014

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful!  I loved having both of the kids at home for the week with no schedules and easy mornings :)

We went to a holiday open house in Alabaster the weekend before Thanksgiving and had a little visit with Santa!  This year was a welcomed easy, tear less process...let's just say A hasn't been to fond of Jolly Ol' St. Nick the past year or so ;)

The kiddos had their lists to reference to while discussing their gift ideas.  We did this last year with Mark and it seemed to make things easier and a little quicker.

Mark reassuring sister that Santa was nice!  He's a good brother.

Santa tried to get some of A's sugar but she looked at him like he was crazy...it was cute.  He gave her some love instead.  Daddy was proud of her!

We are enjoying the Christmas season so far and look forward to all the fun to come!  We have started our Advent countdown and I'll share about that later this week hopefully.  Let's get real, it will probably be next week ;)  Have a great week!  Merry Christmas!

Since my last post...

This poor blog just gets put on the back burner a lot!  We have been busy but loving this season that we are in.

October was full of lots of fun.

My parents came to visit one weekend and we took the kids to get their pumpkins.

 Yes, Alyssah is moody.  You never know what to expect when I get out the camera ;)

We had our annual Pumpkin Carving Party!  I got more pictures on my phone, but here are a few.

Social media!  I loved doing this :)  My friends are awesome!

Here are some of the pumpkins that were carved at the party!  I took this a few days after so some pumpkins are missing.

Sweet girl and her princess pumpkin :)

My little Leonardo!

Ready for trick-or-treating. They had a lot of fun this year trick-or-treating.  We joined some new friends so that made it even more fun :)

We took our Christmas pictures on the hottest day in October!  I was not feeling too jolly, but we got them done ;)  And we took a few others as well.

Love these ladies!

We have some of the best friends in the world.  So blessed and thankful!  We missed the Roberts' and Worsley's!!

Hopefully I'll be back sooner than later.  Have a fantastic weekend!!

March happenings!

Hello summer and a new town!  The Adams fam made our move to Bham at the end of May.  We finally got our internet set-up so I can make updates to the blog :)  I have a few things to catch up on, complete with a tour of our new place.
Here are some snapshots into our March.

 Mark celebrated Dr. Seuss at school!

 I turned 30 on March 8th!

 Our version of a card for my Mom's birthday!

 My besties came to Auburn and celebrated my birthday!

 My Dad's birthday "card".

 Alyssah got to meet Cinderella at our friend, Stella's birthday party!  She liked her until she got up close ;)  My cautious daughter...

 And baseball started for this cute little ball player! :)

Stay tuned for more updates!  We are having a fabulous summer.

Spring family pictures 2014

I adore these precious photos of our family and my sweet babies!  Amy Nabors, you are incredibly talented!  Thank you SO much!

They are even more special because these are the last pictures we will have taken in Auburn.  We have loved our time living here.  We have grown as a family, literally (Alyssah was born here) and spiritually.  Thankful that God brought us here and led us to our church family at Highlands.  I can't imagine what we would have done or where we would be without the many friends that we made through Highlands and our small groups!  I will miss each of you so, so much, and I love you even more!
