Elf Footprints

Christmas was so exciting this year! Waking up to a snow-filled yard was amazing! So cozy! To our surprise Santa's elves left footprints all over our living room! They even left them at Peyton & Eden's bedroom doors! I'm sure they were looking for anyone creeping!

Ho...Ho...Ho!!!!!

This Friday we went to Branson to see Santa! Silver Dollar City had awesome lights! Eden was particularly impressed with Santa Claus!

Smile!

Jeff Papin took these great pics of the kiddos! If you are interested, go to jeffpapinphoto.com! He does an excellent job!

NYC: New York City!!!!!!!

Times Square! Wow, what madness!

The pizza in Brooklyn was amazing! And yes, we finished the entire pizza! The guy in between us is from Germany, and yes, he almost finished his entire pizza! It's that good!

We did it! We walked across the Brooklyn bridge!

The New York Stock Exchange! Boy, was I out of my league!

Tiffany & Co. was beautiful! We drooled over all of the pretty diamonds!

Central Park had steam coming up from the water. So gorgeous! Even in the downpour of rain!

The Rockettes were great! This show is definitely a must for families. Our kids would have loved it!

The chandelier from the play was enormous! A picture doesn't do it justice!

Phantom of the Opera was excellent! We sang the songs the rest of the afternoon!

We loved going to Kleinfelds! Everyone was so nice! Yes, Steph found her dress! Sorry! No picture available....yet! :)

Gobble Gobble...Yum!

Such a good lookin' family!

Always playing!

Handsome man!

Move over ladies! This man's taken! Eden has the biggest crush on Jacob!

Our condo is in the background!

Beach Babies!

Jacob is a surfer dude!

The Naval Museum was awesome! Sissy wanted pink Blue Angels! :)

So handsome! So sweet!

We built another alligator! The kiddos are getting so big!

Grandma & Papa babysit Friday night so the adults could go on a date! New Moon was awesome! We had wonderful seafood at Doc's!

Yes, it's a baby octopus! It got caught in the current and washed up on the beach. We helped him find his way out to the ocean again!

Sweet babies!

Movie star in the making!

We're back from Gulf Shores! We had a blast with everyone, even if the kiddos didn't always cooperate!

We made it!

We are finally in Gulf Shores! The weather was perfect this afternoon! This evening we went out and found our first crab! The kiddos are so excited! The crab was soooo crabby! I wonder why?

Walt, Rebecca & Jacob will be here on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smile for a Sucker!!!

The Wares joined me on the square Sunday for a photo shoot! We had such a good time, and despite the forecast....no rain!

Happy Birthday, Dear Papa!!!

Papa's birthday is this Wednesday, November 18th, of which his actual age will remain nameless!! :) Since Shawn & I both have to work that night, we went to Marketplace Saturday to celebrate! Papa got lots of toys for his birthday! Gramma has enjoyed them too! :)

BOO!!!

The ghosts and goblins were out Saturday night! We had a crowd at our house! It was so much fun! Thanks to Stephanie's mom for dressing up! You'll notice her in the group picture. She's on the top right. She was octomom! Hilarious!
