Snow in South Carolina

Jacob checking out the snow!

Jacob took this picture of Daddy & Mommy in the snow.

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.

Jacob playing with his 'bactor' before bed. Then he is laughing because Daddy is about to get him so he goes to hide in his bed.

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

Last trip to Granny's

We had a great visit! Granny smiled the whole time and just watch Jacob entertain everyone.

After our visit with Granny, Uncle Bob treated us to Cassano's (a must stop for pizza in Piqua, OH). Jacob was very hungry since he didn't eat lunch. We offered, but he didn't want it at the time so he went straight to bed instead.

Eldean Bridge

Thursday on the Road

So we left Gatlinburg around 9:30am ~ stopped at Cumberland Falls around 12pm ~ Ate Lunch and then back on the Interstate.

Second Stop: Lexington, KY ~ We arrived around 2:45 and went to Mary Todd Lincoln's (wife of 16th President, Abraham Lincoln) childhood home. Just for Jacob to throw a big tantrum in public (luckily he doesn't have very many). Wes graciously took him outside so I can finish the tour. He also donated his $7 admittance fee. We left there and drove through the University of KY's Campus and then stopped and walked around the arboretum. When then decided to head back to the interstate and find a hotel with a pool after getting hot and sweaty. We found a good deal with our AAA discount at a Best Western in Georgetown, KY just north of Lexington for $62/night more than the Grand Prix Motel, but this one includes a complimentary breakfast and we got a King Bed.

Being Silly

Look at what my husband did tonight....

The things we do to make our children laugh!

Christmas Tree

Saturday we went to Creech's to pick out our Christmas Tree. Jacob pulled me around all through the trees until we found the one. He loves being outside. He wasn't so sure about the 'Santa' (fake), but the cars driving by still honked.

Jacob & Hersey

Here is my first YouTube video. Jacob playing with our new cat, Hersey.

Jacob Walking

Here is that video I tried to DL of him walking the week before his birthday. He has come along way. Our Big Boy! He had so much fun at his party. Please come back to see his birthday slideshow.
