New Year's Eve

Nice dinner out with friends for New Years!

Fernbank Museum of Natural History

We used our City Pass to go to the Museum of Natural History in Atlanta before driving home on Sunday...very cool, history of the world as it relates to Georgia, from the beginning to the dinosaurs to the first Man, lots to see and learn. And, the best part (for the boys) was an entire 3rd floor dedicated to Nature (tree house, caves, sea adventures) I couldn't possibly capture it all on camera, so I'll just share a few :)

Georgia Aquarium

World Of Coca-Cola

After Christmas (and after the arrival of Grandpa Greg) we took a mini-vacation to Atlanta to see some of the fun things to do there...turns out, Atlanta is fantastic! After the Georgia Aquarium we walked to the Coca-Cola building, which was a lot of fun! They had samples of many of the 3,500 Coca-Cola products (PS, who knew!?!), and I had to admit, blue raspberry Fanta is fantastic!

Georgia Aquarium

After Grandpa Greg arrived we went on a trip to Atlanta...first stop, the Georgia Aquarium---fantastic!!

Montgomery Tour

Mom and Greg provided us with a great excuse to finally tour the city we've lived in for 6 months...and it was really interesting! We took the city bus tour and learned about the history of the civil rights locations and local history and landmarks.

Christmas X 2

So, Grandpa Greg was supposed to arrive Christmas evening, but with the storms his flight was cancelled and he ended up finally arriving the next day. So, we did a second Christmas dinner (with all our leftovers!) and saved the Santa cake to celebrate his arrival!

Merry Alabama Christmas

Christmas Baking

Grandparents seem to love to bake, and my Mom is no different! The boys really enjoyed making Christmas cookies and our Christmas Santa cake with her!

Callaway Butterfly Center

We definitely had to check out the Callaway Butterfly Center before we left...Braden's class at school is called the "Swallowtails", and the other class is called the "Monarchs", so we need to see the butterflies!

Fantasy in Lights

My Mom (Grandma Linda) arrived for the holidays, and we decided to go on a trip to Callaway, GA, to see the amazing "Fantasy in Lights," with 15 scenes and 8 million lights, we (I) couldn't wait. It is one of the world's "Top 10 Places to See Holiday Lights," I've heard, and it really was spectacular!

The boys' favorite...the frog jumping into the pond (pic doesn't do justice)...so cute!

House Christmas Party

Had a great party for our local friends before we all scattered to the wind for Christmas...not a lot of pictures, but here some of us are during our gift exchange and the sitter upstairs with some of the kids (awesome decision, by the way!)

ACSC Holiday Ball

Our photo from Scott's Air Command and Staff College's Holiday Ball...fun night and fun to dress up!

North Pole Express

The boys loved the North Pole Express about an hour from our house...they got to ride the train to the North Pole, talk to Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elfs, and had hot chocolate and chocolate muffins...great way to start the Christmas season!

Tree Decorating

Decoratated the tree this year right at Thanksgiving--always fun and much easier w/ the help of the Seigfrieds!

Thanksgiving Dinner

Wonderful week spent with Scott's parents, and FANTASTIC Thanksgiving dinner---have to admit I didn't cook a thing; I already knew how amazing Bonnie and Mike's turkey dinners could be :)
