Great Weekend!

We had a great weekend in Georgia celebrating Sunny's 80th birthday and having some fun girl time!
Being almost 30 weeks pregnant I wasn't excited about the drive, but it is always worth it to see family.

On Saturday Kate and I had a very special day with Aunt Joanne and cousin Taylor. We headed to the American Girl Store so Kate could pick out a new doll. Her sweet daddy had promised her one as soon as she was completely potty trained and we are so proud of her!

 Love this sweet smile!!

 She chose "Saige" and was so very excited!!

After the store the four of us went to a fun girls lunch full of shirley temples and yummy food! It was such a special day for Joanne and I to be with our girls together.
Now Wright and his daddy are going fishing for his big reward!

Next post the birthday celebration!

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas and are blessed beyond measure!  We were so fortunate to be able to see all our grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins over the holidays!

We started with Christmas in Sumter with all the Dinkins. 10 grandchildren!!
The kids had fun decorating cupcakes to celebrate Jesus' birthday, a ride on the car to see the goats and lots of fun with cousins!

Then we headed to Georgia for a couple of days. We had fun making cookies for Santa, a very fun Christmas morning and lots of fun playing with cousins!

Kate and Wright got their new trampoline!! They love it!!

We also had a fun singalong Christmas night with Miller and Wright on the guitar and Perry, Kate and Taylor on vocals

Visit with Santa

This year's visit to Santa went much better than last as you can see from the picture above! We love this Santa and I could not believe how much the kids had grown up looking at the comparison from 2011 to 2012.
Kate was still nervous, but Wright's excitement was contagious. They both enjoyed telling Santa what they wanted this year. They both want a trampoline, Wright wants a fishing rod and Kate asked for another baby. We will see if they have been good enough all year!

A Baby Brother!

We are so excited that we will be having another baby boy this spring!

Kate and Wright are so excited and will be such a great big brother and sister!

We were able to find out as a family thanks to our good friend, "Aunt Claire" decorating our box and filling it with balloons. It was so much fun to find out this way!!

Thanksgiving in the Mountains

We had a great time with family in the mountains this Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for this year.  The cousins played so well together! We had a fun hayride, roasted marshmallows, played fun games and laughed a lot!
