Our long holiday weekend.

A little behind here in blog world (thank you to my bestie Mags for pointing that out!). But, our power cord bit the dust, so haven't been able to use computer lately. Anyways, back today for an overdue recap of our wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

We began Thanksgiving celebrations on Wednesday night with my family.  We switch back and forth doing Wednesday night and Thursday day every year...I do love a night time celebration though.  I didn't take but ONE pictures the whole evening which makes me really sad.  It was a GREAT night...my grandparents came and we had the best time catching up, eating TOO much and being INCREDIBLY thankful for all that God has provided us.

Our little Matilda Jane girls:)

On Thursday we slept in and enjoyed the morning by the fire, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade.  Little C got into it this year and LOVED dancing along.   It was such a peaceful morning.



We headed over to Mikey's dad's for lunch where we had a big ole crew!  Look at all these little girls!!



On Thursday night, Mikey's mom came up and we had dinner at OUR house with her...and I took NO pictures.  SHAME.  I have GOT to be better about that at Christmas.  We had a truly wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by our family.  

Friday was spent gearing up for my daddy's SIXTIETH birthday party!!! It was a huge success....so much fun.  











And then on Saturday we attended THE game of the year where my GAMECOCKS whooped up on those tigers!!!  WOOHOO!!! 



Sunday was spent lounging around in the morning, C bug helping us cook, picking out our Christmas tree and then attending our FRIENDSGIVING!!!  Such an amazing, fun Thanksgiving weekend.







WHEW!!!

That was a long one!

xoxo

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
