Happy Birthday, Again!


Aubrey wanted to send a special Happy Birthday to her "Aunt" Katie, who is also one of my best friends!! :) Aubrey says HI and we love you!!!!!! We hope you have a great day!

Aubrey and Maddie meet


Ashley and Maddie came in and we got to spend a lot of time hanging out with them! It was really neat for the girls to meet, and although they didn't interact to much this time, I know next time, they'll have a blast!



I love her smile!

Dickens Parade, Mr. President


SunTrust sponsored the Christmas parade in Roanoke and Randy won a drawing to ride in the parade! Our friends (and fellow SunTrusters) Brandon and Kara joined us for the ride! It was freezing and there was a lot of waving involved! It was really fun though and we felt kinda famous, like FDR and Truman.

Snow


Beautiful, huh? I'm sure everyone has heard and/or enjoyed the snowfall of the century on December 18-19, 2009! We got 15 inches at our house!


How do you get your 8 month old to sleep so soundly, you ask? Well, you spend 15 minutes getting her dressed in her warmest clothes, only to hate the snow, and spend 15 minutes undressing her while she wails at you! Then she'll pass out!!!

Not a fan

Daddy trying to help her enjoy the snow. It didn't work.

Happy camper before Daddy put her in the snow.


She could barely sit up in her snow suit!

Super cute

TONS of snow...and our awning is bending!

We're still here!

I know, it's been awhile since I've posted! But we've been very busy with the holiday season and just trying to enjoy our time with Aubrey-girl!! So, the next few posts will be dedicated to catching everyone up on some of our happenings during Christmas 2009! And hey..Welcome 2010!

We spent a lot of time looking at the Christmas tree and all the presents underneath. Aubrey surprised us and didn't damage any ornaments or packages! She really liked looking, but wasn't all that into touching! I'm sure next year will be quite different. And maybe we wear our Elmer Fudd hat around...just maybe!


We went to see Santa, ride the train and have lunch with Mama E and Ashley and Aiden. We had a great time! At least on the train. No so much with Santa. As soon as Randy gets our scanner working, I'll post Aubrey's first, second and third (yeah 3!!) Santa experiences. Ughh! But she and Aiden LOVED the train!
We also just hung around in some knee socks. Just because we can. And just because they're cute! I mean, if I had legs like that, I'd wear knee socks too...well ok, maybe not!




We also spent some time reading the paper and getting our knowledge on!

"Can I see the Business section, Daddy?"

Some of us also spent some time holding on tightly to Daddy as we fell asleep! I love, love, love, love, love this picture!!!
