November- December

 Ellie and I went to the Rockettes and it was amazing! Sweet girl said her favorite things were being there with me and eating snacks.

 We went to the farm for the Pennel family reunion. It was so good to see cousins and aunts and uncles I haven't seen in so long.

 Halloween picture- random, but Ellie is Ariel, George is Bert and Will is Iron Man

 George tried rice cereal.

 Our sweet Charlie went to Heaven the weekend before Thanksgiving. We miss her so much.

 Mimi came in town for my birthday and got to see the Mission Friends Nativity play at church. Will was a wise man.

 Ellie girl was Mary.

 Ellie and Bert joined Mr. and Mrs. Bean and Mindy and Ray Bean at the SEC Championship. War Eagle!

 Ellie and Will had their school play. Mrs. Bean and Bert made it just in the nick of time thanks to Atlanta's crazy traffic, but thankfully no one missed Ellie's big speaking part;)

Ellie was Mrs. Frosty and Will was Donner the reindeer.

Highlands, NC

We decided last minute to rent a mountain cabin in Highlands, NC for the weekend. It was only about 2 hours from here and even Charlie got to go!

Upon arrival- the view from our back porch.

At breakfast on Saturday. This silly guy was warned not to touch the big cord attached to the air conditioning unit above him.

Mid- hike. Ellie didn't want to miss even one overlook and made us take in every beautiful view. She ran in front of us the whole time. George hung out in the baby bjorn and didn't make a squeak- sweet child. And Will collected acorns and was quite a trooped considering the hike was over 2 hours.

The whole family!

Even Charlie!

Post- hike ice cream treat.

Love those cheeks:)

Sticky hands from the fish- ha!

These guys went fishing with Bert at Andy's trout farm in Dillard. Bert went here when he was in middle school and he said it was exactly the same. They LOVED fishing. The had cane poles and worms and caught 4 fish a piece!

Such a great weekend!

Will's 4th birthday

Will wanted the Fun Bus for his 4th birthday.

  The kids have had the fun bus come to their preschool before, so they were super excited.

It comes straight to your door and it's even air-conditioned, with instructors.

They both picked out their outfits for the party.

Will wore his Planes shirt. Bert, Will and Ellie saw the movie on Will's actual birthday, the 9th.

Ellie wore her party dress with balloons. She even picked out what dress she wanted me to wear.

Sissy and Daniel drove from Knoxville to help us celebrate.

And Mr. and Mrs. Bean came from Birmingham.

All 5 of us!

Happy Birthday Will!!

This boy likes it all!

This is how we all felt at the end of the day- partied out.

Mimi came from Brownsville and was a tremendous help the whole time!
