Christmas in Pasadena

Josh, Sophi and I celebrated our family Christmas here in Pasadena this past Saturday. It was so much fun to watch Sophi this year as she discovered her gifts and unloaded her stocking! Sophi got the Little Tykes Coupe Car from Mommy and Daddy and she LOVES it! All she wanted to do for the rest of the day was be in her car. She isn't quite big enough to push herself in it so mommy and daddy do a lot of pushing and Sophi does alot of riding! Even Shiloh got to go for a ride!Oh, and the box to the car was a hit too!Her other favorite toy is her stuffed Llama Llama, the character from one of her favorite books, Llama Llama Red Pajama. He now goes with us everywhere, along with Lovie of course!That afternoon we enjoyed a picnic lunch from Portos, one of our favorite places to eat, at the Americana in Glendale. Sophi had so much fun watching the water show and simply playing in the grass!
(Notice the shorts. It was 80 degrees that day!)


We leave Tuesday for Christmas in the south. We are excited to spend more time with family and friends as we celebrate and remember the awesome gift God gave us in sending his son to be born as a baby so that we might have eternal life with him!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanksgiving in the South Part 2

We flew on Pops plane up to Nashville, TN to spend Thanksgiving day with Josh's parents in Columbia, TN. We had so much fun spending time with Grammy and Poppy and their new dog Mikey! Sophi LOVED Mikey of course! It was also fun to see Josh's brother, his wife and their three kiddos. It is always fun to watch the kids play together!We had to go to the park of course while we were there. Sophi can't seem to get enough of playing outside these days!We ate some yummy food and enjoyed relaxing with family before headed back to Atlanta on Friday.Friday afternoon was spent watching one the most amazing college football comebacks I have seen in awhile! And may I say WAR EAGLE!!!We said goodbye to family early Saturday morning and headed back to Pasadena. Fortunately we will be back in 2 weeks to celebrate my FAVORITE time of year, CHRISTMAS!! And this time Shiloh will join us for all our crazy adventures!
I can't wait to celebrate this special time of remembering Christ's birth with family! Hello December, it's been too long!
