Thanksgiving in Albany

We went down to Albany, Georgia for Thanksgiving to visit Jeff's grandmother and Aunt and Uncle. It's always nice and relaxing down there and the food was delicious as always! It was good to see Troy, Katie, Thomas, and Gretchen while they are in Georgia on their year-long cross-country excursion! Macey loved standing with the croquet stick. She could stand and walk around it while seeing everything that was going on. Madison was all over the place all weekend.

Thomas and Jeff playing some corn-hole. That was the game of the weekend this year.

This high-chair was Jeff's grandmother's when she was a baby. Madison thought she was big stuff in it.

Cousin Drayton's Shower

My cousins that live in Texas were in town for Thanksgiving. Janelle is expecting her first child, a little boy soon so we had a family shower while she was in town. We can't wait to meet little Drayton!! I did the pictures out of order, the next few were after the shower that afternoon. Madison and Tori getting ready for the stroller for Disney
Macey and Tori--Macey did not like the stroller this much in Disney

More Fall Pics

Here's a few last pictures from fall. Our girls love to wear stuff on their heads, Madison is telling me she's 1


Madison feeding sister. This finally got Macey to stop crying after naptime. Macey does not wake up in a good mood after her afternoon nap.


Playing with Daddy in the leaves





A Mommy in training already!--notice the headband--I think Madison is going to be prissy--I won't know what to do with a little priss.

Wrestling Sisters

The girls are getting so fun. They are really liking playing together--for the most part. They have really started wrestling some, it is hilarious--poor Macey is always on the bottom. Playing on a diaper box
They wanted to wear headbands one morning--Madison

Macey--she may need a little bit more hair


Madison looks like such a big girl in this picture



They wanted to wear their toboggins one night--they thought it was so funny--then they started to wrestle


Macey is laughing so hard at Madison taking her toboggin




Face-off















Madison tackling Macey
















Don't think you can get away sister!



































I had to add this pic from the party to show how Madison first went after her cake. She ate just about the whole thing!




Girls' First Birthday Party

I don't know why Blogger did my pictures like this, I guess maybe I had too many. Anyways, the party was so much fun. The girls, for the most part enjoyed it--Madison loved every minute-- I think she is going to be our social butterfly. Macey liked it, but was unsure of all the people--more of an introvert like her mother. I'll try to label the pics as best I can. To the right is the mantle with pics of the girls for each of the last 12 months.





The theme was Noah's Ark since our girls came in twosies. Above is the party favor table. To the right is the awesome cake my sister made. She worked so hard on it & it turned out sooo cute. Thanks Jessie!




Above is Madison's smash cake made by Jessie too. She loves Pooh so it is a yellow bear for her Pooh. To the right is Macey's Piglet smash cake--she loves her Piglet, so we thought it would be cute to make their cakes to at least resemble their "attachment toy"








All three cakes and to the right--we made mints & cut them in the shapes of animals & the ark to go along with the theme.















Their "smash cake" shirts courtesy of the their Aunt Jessie again--I think she worked harder on their party than I did. To the right a family pic before the festivities began.

















Macey, Madison & Brady playing. To the right, watching the girls with their cakes.






















Before the cakes came out. Madison is pointing to her balloons.



























Macey's happiest moment during the cake process--Madison loved it--Macey not so much.













This is as "digging in" as Macey got

Madison was all about the cake
