We took Tyler to his first Iron Bowl in Auburn the Friday after Thanksgiving. He was super excited about going. We tailgated with our "Auburn cousins" and Tyler even kicked the football with his Uncle Al. The game was a bit stressful, to say the least, but we had a great time and were very thankful for the win! Roll Tide!
Look who arrived just in time to bring mischief to our house for Christmas. Tyler's elf, Duncan, brought his brother, Abbott, along to share in the fun. Now Matthew has an elf, too! The past two years, Tyler has enjoyed seeing what kind of trouble his elf gets in to in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and I'm sure Matthew will join in on the fun this year. Thank you, Santa, for sending us two magic elves this year! We can't wait to see what our mischievous elves do this year!
The boys have to sprinkle their elves at night with magic snowflakes in order for them to come alive. They leave crackers and water, too, for the elves to eat.
Especially these two little boys! Although, they don't always act so sweet to each other, and most of our pictures turn out looking like this...
I think we'll keep them anyway! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey like we did. We started the day watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade where I was able to see one of my students dancing on the float with Gloria Gaynor. How neat is that? We had lunch at Mimi and Perry's and Tyler and Matthew had fun feeding the ducks and the fish in the pond. From there, we headed home for a quick nap before going to MawMaw's house to have Thanksgiving with Jason's family. Our final Thanksgiving celebration was on Sunday with Grandad and Nana. Our Thanksgiving was busy but we wouldn't have it any other way.
This past Sunday was the second annual Big Al Kid's Club stadium tour. This year we met the James down in Tuscaloosa and Tyler and Daniel had a blast playing a real football game! I love
The boys are celebrating an Alabama touchdown, complete with head rubbing, a number one in the air, and lots of jumping around. I love this one, too...
Matthew kept pointing to the numbers on the field and saying "Uh-oh!" It's not every day you see paint on grass. Don't they know we only paint, color, and write on paper!What a fun, cold day at Bryant Denny!
