Weekend with Grandpa!

James's dad came up for a visit this weekend. We had a great visit with him. Saturday we went to the park. Thomas had fun running around playing on the equipment. We're looking forward to the next visit with Grandpa, and we hope the whole family gets to visit that time!

Thomas and Grandpa:

Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas morning started off opening the presents Santa left for Thomas at our house. He was thrilled to see the dump truck!


For breakfast we headed to Mimi and Pappys, along with Doug, Becky, Bree'Anna, and Mary. Thomas couldn't keep his eyes off this 4-wheeler!


For lunch we went to Grandmas house (Thomas' Great-Grandma), then we spent the afternoon with Sherri and had dinner with her side of the family! Thomas loves playing with the Little People Bus and Airplane!!


We all had a fabulous Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve

Thomas had a great 2nd Christmas! Our events started our Christmas Eve at my Aunt JoJos house. Here are a couple of pictures!

Santa and our Christmas tree

We took Thomas, Bree'Anna, and Mary to see Santa. Mary and Bree did great, Thomas doesn't care much for Santa. He does say Ho, Ho, Ho when he sees him!

Here is Thomas running around before seeing Santa.

Fort Walton Beach

Last Wednesday afternoon, James and I dropped Thomas off for another long stay at Mimi and Pappy’s house. We were headed to the beach with our friends Whitney and RJ.

Thursday morning the guys woke up early to play golf at The Raven. While the guys golfed, Whitney and I ate a fantastic breakfast, at Another Broken Egg. Once our tummies were full, we headed to the Destin outlet mall. We weren’t quite finished shopping when the guys called and were finished playing golf. We met them for lunch, then went back to the condo to rest before dinner. That night we ate at McGuire’s Irish Pub. It’s a really cool place! They have over 650,000 thousand dollars on the walls from people that haven eaten at the restaurant. I know that makes it sound like a crappy place, but it’s a very nice place. The food was fabulous too!! Next time you see James, ask him about his meal.

Friday the guys played another round of golf at Kelly Plantation. The course was beautiful! Whitney and I did more shopping while they were golfing! After another nap in the afternoon, we met Nolan at Red Bar for dinner. We had a great time.

Saturday before heading home we had another nice breakfast. Then we started home. James and I were very anxious to see Thomas. He had just woken up from his nap when we pulled in.

He had a great time with Mimi and Pappy. They went and watched Bree’Anna in a Christmas parade; he played with my cousin’s daughter Rachael, and visited Coal at Doug and Becky’s on Friday. He was a busy boy!!

Thank you Mom and Dad for watching him, Doug and Becky for keeping Coal, and RJ and Whitney for inviting us to your condo!

I took a nap outside in the lounge chair on the balcony. This is what I woke up to!
