Girls Day Out

Saturday Gretchen and I decided to have a girls day at the mall. Elizabeth was pretty quiet, but perked up when we stopped for a snack. She sure did love my milkshake from Chick-fil-A!

KOOZA

Saturday Night Kyle treated me to the Cirque du Soleil show, Kooza, that has come to Atlanta. It was simply amazing and I'm so glad we got to go - what a great Birthday present!

Here's a few shots of us before we headed in. They have a strict no camera policy, but got a few shots on our phone :)

The Rhythm is going to get you

Had to post a few of these videos from Christmas that capture Elizabeth dancing. She sure has more rhythm than everyone in the family combined. Check out her hip shake!

Belated Merry Christmas

Wow - how is it almost February already? Needless to say, I haven't been very good updating the blog since the new year. Glad that wasn't one of my resolutions. :)

Here's a few shots of Christmas at my parents house.

Elizabeth loved her maraca's from Aunt Annie & Uncle Kyle

Tagged

So, I kept seeing this tagging game going around all the blogs I follow and now I have been tagged.

The object of the picture tag is to:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!

This picture is from Kyle's Senior Phi Kapp party at the Georgian Terrace in downtown Atlanta. Kyle's with his pals Brent, Scott and Joseph. This picture makes me laugh for some reason. Think its the boy pose going on here like they are in a wedding line up and no one knows quite where to look.

Oddly enough, my office is diagonally across the street from this hotel. Little did we know 4 years after this was taken that we'd be living in Atlanta & work nearby. Even this time last year, we had no idea God would lead us to Atlanta after Kyle finished school. Funny how things turn out. :)

As for who I'm going to tag -- I'm not so cool in the bloggsphere and don't have that many blogging friends (especially since virtually everyone else I know has already been tagged) so I'm only tagging 3: my Sister, Larry Grays and Carrie Tyson

More to come from Christmas festivities in a few days...

Hubbie Shout Out

So I have to brag on Kyle for a minute. I went out to the mailbox to check for Christmas cards and discovered that flowers had been delivered from Kyle. AWWWW.... Isn't he the sweetest!

Thank Goodness for Plastic Ornaments

Apparently purchasing a huge container of plastic Christmas ornaments during our first year of marriage was ingenuous of me. While I thought at the time it was a cheap way to fill up the tree when we had nothing to decorate with, it turned out to be the perfect ornaments when a toddler comes to help decorate the tree.

We had a good time decorating the tree and seeing the tree through Elizabeth's eyes with all the wonder only a child can bring. I also learned a few things about decorating a tree with a toddler -- like ornament throwing and light pulling.

Decorating is Fun!

Elizabeth would throw the ornaments to see if they would stay and then clap & smile!

This decorating is hard work. Elizabeth liked using the presents as a seat. Sorry Kim.... some of the presents got a little squashed!
