Sweet Aria

Last weekend Lizzie and I got to go on a girls trip to Nashville. It was such a great weekend! I got to see all my girlfriends and my most wonderful mother-in-law watched Lizzie as much as I wanted her to...as did my greatest father-in-law:) Lizzie did so great, too, and I think she actually bonded with her Meme and Poppie!

I was able to spend lots of time with Ginny, too, who just returned home from China. I am so glad we have the Burtons back for a bit:) While it wasn't the most ideal conditions, I was still able to get a few shots of Ari in her Christmas dress. It didn't take long for her to transition from China back to the South...with her smocked dress and bow and all:) I hope to get some more shots of her over Christmas when we have more time and more light...how can I resist such a face:)

Winter Wonderland

This past weekend we got quite a bit of snowfall, which means the first sledding of the year! Poor Knox has been waiting patiently since the summer to use his sled. He saw it in the garage and wanted to use it so badly. I said not until the winter when there's snow. So, of course, the boy who doesn't forget anything has been talking about it every since. So, Papa braved it in the cold and took him sledding in the yard. Notice Papa isn't really dressed appropriately...he claims he doesn't really need a winter coat:) Anyways, I could only stand it as long as it took to get some pictures. I know Kory probably doesn't appreciate me putting all these pictures of him up, but I just think they're all so sweet...I'm sure Meme agrees:)

Knox was a little apprehensive going down the hill, but he loved it!

A few of Lizzie and her famous tongue!




Just a few of bathtime. Lizzie loves the bath! She crawls all over and tries to take all of Knox's toys:)




Last, but not least, I had to add a picture of the beautiful roses that Kory gave me for our anniversary....what a sweet husband:)
