Winnfield High Goes To Superdome!

Going back in time here folks, way back to 2011.  Before Christmas, Chris' high school Alma matter made it to the state championships in the Superdome in New Orleans.  We had to go since we were so close.  We had a great time watching with the boys, however the team didn't have much luck. 

It was awesome to see the entire town of Winnfield show up to support this small town team play the opponent from outside New Orleans.  Our side, adorned in red, greatly outnumbered the other side of the Superdome.  Here's Chris and the boys with one of Chris' best friends dad.  Yes that is his real mustache dyed red.  Caleb is checking it out!

Picking Our Christmas Tree 2011

.  This year we had absolutely no time to devote to driving to a Christmas Tree Farm and picking out the best tree. So, we did the next best thing and took an hour to go to the local nursery to pick a tree. We found a beautiful one that fit all our trimmings nicely

Adam pushed our decorating timeline this year.  He would not leave us alone until all the decorations were done.  The only thing we have left is half of the outside lights because of rain delays.  He is in charge of the Advent Calendars and is very interested in where our elf, Marley, is every morning.  He goes and apologizes to Marley when he hurts Caleb.  I guess he's covering all the bases for staying on the Nice List.  Caleb is singing Jingle Bells in his own way and loves to point out Christmas lights on people's houses at night.  They are both loving the Christmas movies that are playing right now, especially Rudolph and Mickey Mouse Christmas. 

Caleb Turns 2!!

Caleb is growing up so fast!!  Where did the last 2 years go???  He has blossomed into this talkative, funny, stubborn, and energy-filled little boy.   So, of course he deserved 2 parties!  We had a small celebration on the actual day and then another small one when his cousin, who turned 1 a few days later, go into town. 

Party #1

Thanks Aunt Torie!!  I have a turtle on my back!

My New Scooter!!  How does this work???

Party #2!! 

Hanging With Friends

It's a good thing our good friends here have twins 2 weeks older than Adam and they are all best friends too.  Makes for fun times.   Here they are having a popcorn and candy picnic.

Adam's Projects

Adam has been enjoying his preschool this year and I wanted to document some of the projects he's worked on.

Adam got to take home the class' Curious George and document what they did together that weekend...we watched LSU Football!!  #1

Every kid in the school had to decorate their paper turkey.  Adam chose to make him a Biker Turkey.  He was a hit with all the teachers!!

Camping Again

Found another great camping spot, Bogue Chitto State Park....with a great waterslide.  Our favorite thing to do is hang out together! 

Napping, yeah right

Over and over and over and over....

Happy Halloween 2011

We woke up and got ready for school Halloween morning, but had to celebrate with some scary pancakes. 

Ghosts and Pumpkins!!

That evening, we headed over to a friends house for hot dogs and treats before trick-or-treating with a huge group of friends.  The boys had a blast!   Caleb was very independent and did not want help carrying his bag even though it was dragging the ground.  Adam was always 3 houses ahead of us and we were very glad his costume was bright yellow so we could see him in the dark! 

The Incredible Hulk and Wolverine

Just some of the kids we treated with

"They Give You CANDY??!!"

Mmmmmmm

Adam organized his by how many he had of each kind

The next morning Chris found both of them on the counter picking at their candy buckets.  Don't have any idea how they both got up there.
