Christmas in Auburn

The Kelbe Klan traveled near and far for our 1st annual Fantasy Christmas in Auburn, AL. Thank to Jack who participated in an Auburn University Baseball Camp. We enjoyed lots of laughs, great food and stories. Saturday we celebrated our holiday time birthdays, which included Kristy, Wes, Janie (aka Mom & Nana) and Jack! After our share of cake we listen as Uncle Chris told the story of 'Twas a week before Christmas' and sang Christmas songs and hymns. Sunday we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ Our Savior, with a great meal prepared by my darling mother. I'll give credit to my father and husband who fried a delicious turkey and chicken. After dinner we swapped our gifts and enjoyed each others company.

Yes there is still a kids table, though it looks like Patty is a bit confused! ;)

Jacob's favorite part was just opening the presents. He would say "What is it?"

Cayce Christmas Parade

Here are some pictures of our 3rd Annual Cayce Christmas Parade. Jacob really enjoyed it. He called Everything a race car. He like the lights and hung out with friend, Michala and cousins, Kylee and Camdyn.

Camdyn wanted to crawl and explore. Jacob stood there for about 30-45 mintues.

Jacob only wanted to sit with Aunt Cuppy and Uncle Micah. Then he enjoyed playing with Jaxson's dump trunk.

Happy Thanksgiving

Here it is Wes' 1st Fried Thanksgiving Turkey!

It was a gorgeous day for frying a Turkey. Dad helps Wes fry his first Turkey. They look ready to go to a football game.

Wes cutting his masterpiece! It was Yummy!

Jacob eating Thanksgiving Dinner (somewhat). He did eat his daddy's Turkey, though!

Nana then figures out why he didn't feel like eating....hmmm....any guesses?

Jacob helping Nana Stuff the Turkey.

Turkey Trot

Here are some pictures from 8:ooam Turkey Trot that supporting the East Alabama Food Bank.

We walked 3 miles.

Well, Jacob rode in his stroller about 2/3 and walked 1/3.

Let say Jacob was ready for a nap at 11am. Which gave Wes & Dad time to Fry a Turkey and Mom & I time to make the extras.

This was a BIG oatmeal raisin cookie that Jacob helped Poppy make. Check out this video:

Our Biltmore Trip

Our first trip alone since before Jacob was born!

Wes and I took the opportunity to go to Asheville, NC this past weekend and see the Biltmore. Jacob is in Auburn visiting Nana & Pop since his daycare is closed due to Ms. Janice's daughter getting married yesterday. We met Nana & Uncle Kyle half way this past Wednesday and my mom is bringing him back on Tuesday or Thursday and staying with us while Wes is out of town.

Besides the fridged weather, we still enjoyed the mountain scene and spending time together. On Saturday morning, we walk through the Biltmore Village and ate lunch at Razaz, a Meterainan Restaurant. Then, toured the Biltmore Garden's and grounds after lunch. Saturday we went to Baylee's Grill to watch Auburn lose to Kentucky. Not a very good game.

Sunday morning we toured The Biltmore House, the winery and had a fabulous Brunch at the Deerpark Restaurant on the Estate. Wes said he ate Breakfast, lunch and dinner in one sitting. After our trip to the winery went head back to Columbia, making sure we got some NC apples.

CLOSING DAY

So today we said Good Bye to Our First Home on Beverly Drive. We sold it on August 29th after 7 months on the market. We are closing one chapter and beginning another. We will be living in a 2 Room, 2 bathroom garage apartment with the 2 of us, a 2 year old, 2 cats and a dog. One challenge will be sharing a bedroom with Jacob. Thankful he is a good sleeper. Pray for us as we transition to a temporary home as we build.

We sold our house today!!!!
