Stone Mountain!

We said goodbye to 2013 with a trip to Stone Mountain park with Beebe & Papa, taking the SkyLift to the top of the big granite mountain to see ALL of Atlanta (and Brrrrrr, was it cold up there!) and then taking a journey around the mountain via the choo-choo train.  So much fun!

Merry Christmas 2013!

With an almost-4-year-old and a just-turned-1-year-old, this year's Christmas was one of the most fun yet, and I have a feeling that each year will only get more and more fun as Kinsley and Carter get older!  We had such a packed December and tried to fit in everything about Baby Jesus and Santa and Christmas Tree Lightings and Santa and Christmas-light spotting…oh, and did I mention Santa?  Here is a look back at our Christmas morning fun from 2013:

The kid's favorite thing: playtime on the floor with their Papa!

Daddy and his girl!

Me and my girl!

Sweet baby cousins with BeeBe.

Kinsley singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and blowing out the candle for his birthday cupcake.

 

Yep, we got two new blow-up Christmas additions to the front lawn.
And they are likely not our last...

Kinsley's stash - before!
Note the dollhouse that was mommy's when she was younger…and was hand-painted (in Kisnley's coordinating bedroom colors)  by mommy this year to pass down to Kinsley.

Carter's stash - before!
Note that Kinsley would want to play with Carter's toys just as much as he would!  :)

Riding the new rocking horse! 

"Ball!"

My own playhouse!!

Aerial!

So much wrapping paper - so little time!

Just two weeks before Christmas, Kinsley requested a pink unicorn from Santa.  Whew, thank goodness Santa was listening!  Here is her first hug (of many) with "Pinky" the stuffed unicorn.

Anything with Mickey Mouse is a winner for Carter!

A last present was hiding behind the tree - Kinsley's first pink fishing rod! 

Even good ol' Hunter was getting in on the present-opening fun!

Kinsley's stash - after!

Carter's stash - after!

The coffee guys.

Kinsley's making sure she's right in the middle of the presents so she doens't miss hers...

Aunt Ang and Maggie!

Sweet girl fixing mommy's hair for the camera!

Cousin hugs (or tackles)!

Sweet baby Carter!

Sweet Maggie! 

Matching Hello Kitty skirts and glittery shoes for the girl cousins!

Merry Christmas...until next year!
