An Early Visit with Santa

It's become a special trip that the girls look forward to every year! Together with a few of their cousins, the girls got to see beautiful Christmas lights, sip hot chocolate, and see the big man himself! Enjoying a wagon ride to see Santa!

There was a little bit of a wait, so what better place to sit than beside her Popi.

I was very surprised Lili actually sat on his lap!

The kids enjoyed their hot chocolate!

We are making such special memories with the girls. I'm so thankful for the family God has given me.

Our first date...

was 12 years ago at Auburn's Homecoming. So, this past weekend we packed up the kids and the car, dropped the kids off with their grandparents and headed to Auburn! This is a special weekend we look forward to every year.

It was the coldest homecoming I remember!

Afterwards we went to Toomer's Corner!

Pumpkin Pickin!

Nanny and Pawpaw came to town on Saturday and we took the kids to the pumpkin patch! The girls had a great time playing, petting the farm animals, and picking their pumpkins.

We started taking Emma to the pumpkin patch when she was just a baby. I can't believe she's already six and looking so grown up!

Lili found a special pumpkin just for her :)

This was probably Emm's favorite part of the day, getting to hold the kittens. I think one actually fell asleep in her hands.

Lili loved feeding the goats!

Fall Fest Night!

Getting ready to go to our church's Fall Festival!

Lili ~ the scarecrow, Maddie ~ the AU cheerleader, Emma ~ the cheetah

Emma was a scarecrow when she was Lili's age too. I had a great time making her outfit.

Lili and Mrs. Kathy, a couple of scarecrows!

Mike wore the hat most of the night, got a few interesting looks from people :)

Emma loves the cotton candy!
