Costume Carnival at Little Gym

This year, Lia wanted to be an Auburn cheerleader for Halloween. We got all dressed up tonight for the carnival at Little Gym. I wanted to make sure I got pictures of her in costume just in case Ella decides to make an early entrance and I'm not home for trick or treating on Monday : ) Here are the photos of our little cheerleader...

Ice cream

Yesterday after school, Keri, Tiffany and I took the kids to Tutti Frutti for ice cream to kill time before going to Little Gym. They all had fun! As you can see from Lia's bowl, she had a little trouble choosing just one flavor, so we ended up getting "white, brown AND pink!" We let the kids run around outside for about an hour afterwards to get rid of the sugar high : )

What a cool idea...

I found this cool idea online and decided to try it myself. It turned out so cute! I'm going to have to do this for both girls at every age...

Knoxville trip

This year, Philip's Christmas gift from me was a surprise trip to Knoxville for the Tennessee Georgia game. It has been a long time since he's been to TN for a game, and he was so excited to go for this one. Our friend BK picked him up from the airport on Friday night. They stayed at a hotel within walking distance of the stadium. He got to spend the day on Saturday tailgating and loading up on Tennessee gear from the University bookstore before heading to the stadium that evening for the game. After the game, the guys went downtown for drinks and walked by the river to see the Vol Navy. Philip flew home on Sunday afternoon. He had a great trip, and I'm so glad he got to go to a game in Knoxville this year!!
