It was so nice to have a spring-like day in January, a little sunshine will do wonders for the soul

Christmas Snow

Something strange happened in Atlanta on Christmas Day...SNOW. I think my grandfather said it has not snowed in Atlanta on Christmas Day since the 1880's.

That night we went out sledding & had a great time.

The next day Lola & Andrew made a snow man.

Actually, Andrew made the snow man & Lola held the carrot nose.

Santa came! When Lola woke up Christmas morning we asked her if she thought Santa came, and she said "no, he is at church". I think she believes Santa lives at church since we went and sat in his lap at breakfast with Santa. It was cute, but Santa did come.

She was so excited about all her toys, but the first thing she noticed was her Tinker Bell pajamas. She slowly took it all in & soon began playing with everything.

The immediate hit was a little fishing puzzle, she played with it all morning.

I had to get Brantley out of bed & he slept through everything.

Brantley was so cute Christmas Day, I dressed him up in his new sweater & khakis, he looked like such a big boy.

Lola & Daddy having tea

It was a wonderful & lazy day, we enjoy just being with family, such a blessing.

Trying out her new Tink Four Wheeler

My parents dog, Charlie, loves babies. Here he is cuddling with Brantley.

Christmas Eve

One thing Lola loved about the Holidays was all the sweets. She still ask for dessert after every meal!

On Christmas Eve, Lola & Nana made a Christmas Tree cake... one piece of candy for the cake, one for Lola.

That night we made cookies for Santa with icing & sprinkles. She was so excited & stole a few of Santa's cookies for herself!

Brantley had a lazy day, snoozing & being carried around, oh the life!

Cousin Christmas

A few nights before Christmas we went over to my cousin Brian's house for dinner. He has 2 little boys, Beau 3 & Luke 8 months. Lola had a great time with the boys & playing with all Beau's toys, she is still talking about Beau's trains. The kids were great and we all had a wonderful time visiting.
