Been there done that

When it was determined that Auburn's football season was in the toilet bowl, I didn't really think talk of going to a bowl game was in our future.  So when Butch texted to let me know that he could get us tickets to Auburn's Bowl game, which we nicknamed the toilet bowl, because HELLO....I didn't really think that Wayne would want to go, but want to go he did....so plans were made.  The girls had been bickering quite a bit so I thought it was best to separate them.  Hadley went to her besties house and this picture cracks me up.  Here is Hadley training Becca's show pig.  Seriously, the pig is adorable.

So I snapped this picture on the way to Birmingham I see a Phoenix rising out of the clouds, do you?  

The night we go there we went to dinner in downtown and checked out this really cool place a friend had recommended, I loved the chandeliers.

Here we are at the toilet bowl.  If you have ever been to Legion Field you understand...if you have ever been to Legion Field in the cold you understand....if you have ever been to Legion Field in the cold and rain you really understand....toilet bowl.

So it wasn't on my bucket list, but I totally put it on my bucket list, so I could check it off, never to have to return to Legion Field again.  I was legitimately scared for my life, for Wayne's life, where our truck was parked.  Sketchy would be how you would describe it on a good day.

Wake up it's Christmas Morning!!!!!

The excitement this year over Christmas was crazy good.  The girls both had specific things they were hoping for and it was so much fun, just to enjoy their anxious anticipation.  Els is a blur in this picture as she makes a beeline for her loot, but Hadley's face says it all....I think they were both pretty pleased with their treasures....

Els wanted Beats and Santa delivered!

Hadley wanted a phone and while she had an idea from the initial otterbox that was laid out that there was one somewhere, she had to do a little bit of digging to find it.  It was in the bottom of her stocking!!!

Seriously, blind bags and blind boxes are going to be the death of me!!!

Dad had to try out the Beats

Christmas afternoon we headed over to Amy's for some finger food and more presents.

Ho HO Ho

On Christmas Eve Eve, we made the trek home to Alabama.  The girls were a little giddy to see their grandparents.  It was a quick trip because we had to be back home to see Saint Nick on Christmas morning.

Opening presents on Christmas Eve Eve, these were the hit of the entire 2015 Christmas season.  I pretty sure when I was her age, there was no way my parents would buy me a pair of Michael Kors black high tops, but that's exactly what she got and she loved them!!!

Christmas Eve Day after lunch we haeaded back to Georgia, so we could prepare for the arrival of the Jolly Man in the Red Suit.  Posing in our Christmas PJ's made by BellBell.

Nothing like getting them even more wound up, right before bed on Christmas Eve.  Let's ride sister like she is a reindeer!!!

Sister is exhausted!!!!

Someone wasn't quite done with you yet!!!

Get it GIRL

The lights at Camp Jordan are UH MAY ZING, after two years in a row, I think we are going to call it an annual tradition.  This year we laughed and laughed, Ellison literally had us in stitches.  She was getting her groove on to the music which was in time with the lights.  It was hysterical.  Sadly because we were laughing to much, I don't have very many pictures or very good pictures, but what great memories!!!!

Tis Christmas Time

We went down to Wayne's sister around Christmas and of course the girls were spoiled rotten.  Here they are walking the streets, posing for some fun pictures.
