Ellie's 3rd Birthday

Last December (yes, almost a year ago), we threw a craft Christmas party for Ellie's 3rd birthday. Andy wisely suggested to rent the clubhouse so the glitter and glue and icing and itty bitties didn't run rampant through our house.  Here are some pics from her party!

Circus

For Jackson's birthday, my parents gifted us with tickets to Barnum & Bailey's circus!  I really wanted my kids to see this, the last performance where the elephants were included.  They LOVED every minute of it.

We stayed home over Christmas, and then we visited my family in Birmingham for a few days.  

Miscellaneous Fall 2015

Our best friends from Nashville came to visit us in October, and we all had the BEST time together!

Jackson loved hanging out with the big girls, Emallyn & Maddie

The kids got to pick their own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch

Dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant

I was able to join Andy on a quick work trip to NYC.  Always so fun to be in one of our favorite cities, and we had ample time with some of our BFFs who live there

A huge thanks to GiGi and GoGo for watching the kids for us

Amazing food tour with our amazing friends, Lucy and Mark, in Chelsea Marketplace

Freezing on the High Line

Fun dinner out with Shelby and Chris. (She was pregnant this night but did not know it yet :)

So so so thankful that our cups were filled with time together, and quality time with friends!

I took the kids to the Greenville Zoo, since we have NO zoo in Charlotte.
