Hanging Out With My Girl

No School and MORE SNOW!

Cooper didn't want to come out just yet, but I couldn't wait so I got my sled and rode down the hill in our back yard a few times:

Molly's rump & Bailey joined me:

Pesky fence got in the way just as I was picking up speed:

Alright enough of that:

Now Coop's finally ready so we grabbed our sleds and got ready to walk down the street to the church which has a great sledding hill:

WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't want to go down by myself, but I loved going down with Mama or Daddy - look at the joy on my face!

Snow!

Take that!

And of course I had to include Molly in the fight - look at that wince when I got her - she loved it!

So....these mittens clearly aren't the best for snow...

Warming my little nose and hands:

We worked up an appetite so we walked up to Taco Mac for dinner and did some ninja moves along the way:

And about 14 snow angels:

A Little Candyland Before Dinner

When Mama got home today, I set up Candyland so we could play a couple of games - as usual, Mama lost :)

Mother-Son Date Night at Chili's

We had so much fun last time we did this that we did it again - date night at Chili's!  It is fun to share a meal just the two of us and to have each other all to ourselves for a little bit :)   We had excellent conversations, played some games and of course stuffed our bellies full of yummy food!

They gave me a gift bag, and this is how I decided to try an get into it (complete fail):

Happy belly - the mashed potatoes here are my favorite!

And this is what remains of a chocolate molten lava cake 3 minutes after it is set down in front of us:

Yellow River Game Ranch

First thing this morning, we met Papa & Bebe for breakfast at Chick-fil-A, and then we headed over to the Yellow River Game Ranch to feed the animals.  First stop: rabbits!

These guys tickled me!

Amazingly everyone's eyes are open and facing the camera!

And who knew squirrels were going to be our constant companions?

This one loved Daddy and kept climbing up him for more treats!

I sort of wanted to take him home with us:

Oh and we always love the goats!  Especially the tiny ones!

Now to feed the bigger guys:

Baseball Camp

I decided I wanted to go to Baseball Camp at Emory after Christmas, and it was so much fun!  We practiced baseball skills (of course), played dodgeball, watched movies and ate picnics with our friends every day.  I am already asking to come back next year!

Taking My New Bike for a Spin!

Merry Christmas!

After an unbelievable show of patience, it was finally time to head down and see if Santa visited last night! 

We must have been good little boys this year!

Settling into play a round of our new Hungry Hippo game:

Look at me on a bike like big brother's!

The thing we were most excited about was our new puppies:

And Santa didn't just give us own Wii remotes (we were excited that we could take them to our friends' houses to play on their systems) - he got us OUR OWN Wii system and even hooked it up for us!  Just wandered into the office and realized that - and immediately dropped to my knees with a victory face (or something like that):

And now we play:

Later when the rest of our family came over, we put on our Santa hats and handed out presents:
