31 is the new 21!!!!

January means birthdays in our house!!!  Joe Pat turned 31 on Jan. 21st and I turned 31 on Jan. 26th!!  I guess we are feeling a little old because we have been joking all week that 31 is the new 21!!  Wishing for our younger days...ha!!  We have had a really fun couple of weeks.  Sadly, we didn't take any good pics of the two birthdays though.

Snow Day!!

Nashville got around 3 inches of snow Sunday night and early Monday morning!!  Mary loved playing in it and didn't want to come inside!!  I think she would have stayed out there until she was a popsicle!  We sledded down the driveway and she just kept asking to go again and again.  It was so much fun!

A Very Merry Christmas!


We had such a great Christmas!  We woke up Christmas morning in our house and it was so fun to see the beautiful snow everywhere!!  Mary really got into it and loved all of her new toys!!
 Santa came to visit!
The excitement on her face says it all
Checking out her new stove!  Vivi and Coach got her the matching sink!

Time to go shopping!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

I am a week behind on this post, but we spent most of last Saturday decorating our tree along with the rest of the house!!  Mary had a good time and really got into it this year!!  We've only broken one
ornament so far...ha!!!

Trying to "pimp" her ride with some lights!
Please look at her face...a mini breakdown because we wouldn't let her put them in her mouth!

The finished product!!

Thanksgiving in H-town

We went to Huntingdon for Thanksgiving this year and it was such a blast having everyone home! The meal was delicious and we had such a wonderful time catching up with family.  Already looking forward to the next time we are all together again.

It's Football Time in Tennessee!!

Some of our fellow Tennessee and Vandy fans got together and did a little tailgating for the UT vs Vandy game!!  It was so fun having Hunter, Jenny, Ashley and Emily in town for the weekend too.  I haven't been to a game in a long time so it was a fun day from start to finish!!

Halloween, a wedding and trip to the beach!!

Last weekend was very eventful!  We went to WaterColor for Ellen & Jimmy's wedding.  It was such a great trip and the wedding was beautiful.  Mary absolutely loved it down there!  The flight to Panama City was SO EASY and QUICK!!

First we went to a Halloween Costume Party Thursday night. Here is Mary as a cupcake!!  She actually wore it much to my surprise!! 
Joe Pat and I went as Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi!  I absolutely LOVE Ellen so this was super fun for me.  I think JP actually enjoyed it too!!

This was our transportation for most places we went!  Mary LOVED it and thought she was a little princess!!!
