First Snow

It started snowing this evening about 5:30. Lindsay has been waiting on this since this summer when we told her it might snow in Chattanooga. She was so excited to get outside and see what all the fuss was about. She had a great time! I also threw in a couple pics of Gracie in the bathtub today too since she didn't get to go out and see the snow and be in the pictures.

Sorry for the delay...

I hate that I haven't blogged much lately. I feel like since Halloween we have been going NONSTOP! The last two months have flown by. We have done some many fun things. The girls have grown a lot too, especially sweet little Gracie. She is really becoming her own little person. She is such a sweet baby and has been laughing all the time lately. Here's a few highlights from the last two months:




Lindsay was Cinderella for Halloween, and Gracie was a pumpkin. Gracie had had about enough of this costume by the time I got her pic though.

At the beginning of November, we got to see my cousing Alison and her two daughters Morgan and Sadie. We only see them once a year at best! We thought it was so funny that the three big girls had on coordinating outfits...it wasn't planned.


We got to see our friends the Weinbergs in Gatlinburg. Lindsay was so excited to see Brianna and Lexi. She had a wonderful afternoon.


We went to Corinth for Thanksgiving which was very nice since it was only the second Thanksgiving we've had there since we've been married. Here's the four of us at Tanner's Mamaw's that night. Lindsay had such a big time with her cousin Laila.



On December 6, I celebrated my 30th birthday. I don't know if "celebrated" is the correct word, but it happened nonetheless. Really, it wasn't that big of a deal. I don't feel any different. My parents came up the weekend before to be with me. Tanner and the girls got me a delicious strawberry birthday cake. Lindsay was thrilled to be surprising Mommy with a cake and gifts.




We went for another train ride in December. This time it was the Polar Express, and we took a trip to the "North Pole." It was really a lot of fun. On the way up, Mary Winter read
The Polar Express. We drank chocolate milk and ate gingerbread cookies. As we neared the North Pole there were lots of Christmas lights to look at. Then we saw Santa waving at us. When we stopped, Santa got on the train and talked with every child. On the way back, we sang Christmas carols. Lindsay ate it all up! Gracie was just along for the ride.
That about covers the high points. I'll post more on Christmas, but there are too many pictures to add to this one. I promise I'll do better with my blogging next year!
