Happy Birthday Daddy!

Just wanted to send a shout out to Daddy because it is his birthday!! I won't tell his age..hint, hint..wink, wink. Thanks for taking such good care of me Daddy. Thanks for taking me out in the mornings to watch the news, drink your coffee, and give Mommy a little more sleep. Thanks for playing with me when you get home from work, and thanks for tucking me in to bed at night! I love my Daddy. He's the best!

Happy Birthday Oma (Nov 24th)!

We have had a busy week. Granddad and Grandma Downs came up from Chattanooga to celebrate Thanksgiving. We had dinner at our house on Thursday with me, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Granddad Downs, Paw and Nana Stevens, Angie, Ronnie, and Justin, Kice, and VJ. Then, we celebrated Oma and Daddy's birthday Saturday night with a nice dinner out and birthday cake at our house for her and Daddy with Grandma and Granddad Downs, Angie and Ronnie, and Uncle Bennie and Miss Jen who came up from Lake Norman. Everybody went home today, and I miss them all!


Me and Oma....Happy Birthday!!

Happy Turkey Day People!

My family tree is full of nuts!

Just checking in with everybody. I am growing fast! I'm standing, doing a little walking, and have many teeth coming in right now! I am on the move. I am gearing up for Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, and my first birthday. I just got back from a weekend visit to see all my relatives in Chattanooga.

Oh Christmas Tree...

I love all the lights on my Christmas tree (and I love my picture on the tree)!! Mommy and Daddy are not ones to rush Christmas because they both love Thanksgiving. Fortunately, we are able to have friends and family join us at our house for Thanksgiving dinner so we do like to put up the Christmas tree beforehand. Mommy does have high aspirations for putting up both Christmas trees and ALL the decorations, but it looks as though the Kids/Travel tree is the only tree going up at this point. Stay tuned....

All the leaves around me....

We had some family photos done in order to put together Christmas cards. I know, can you believe it's that time of year!? Fall is such a beautiful time of the year around here so we wanted to take advantage of the gorgeous colors. Here's a sample of some of the photos....


Fun, fun, fun....


YEAH!!!


Me with Mommy and Daddy...
