Feeding the ducks

Lia wasn't even scared on our stroll when all the ducks swarmed around us wanting food. She threw them her cheerios and pretzels and got upset when it was time to head home! : ) She's a real animal lover!!

Sleepy girl...

on the way home from school today. Lia's teachers said she did much better at Mother's Day Out today. She played with the other kids, made an ornament with her hand print, and ate a great lunch! She had so much fun, she skipped her morning nap and fell asleep as soon as I got her strapped into the car seat : )

Santa 2010

We had Santa pictures at Lia's school. She wasn't so keen on Santa this year. I had to sit with her to get a photo where she wasn't crying. Maybe next year she will be a little happier to see Santa!

Christmas with the Cato's

Last weekend, we went to Canton to do an early Christmas with Philip's side of the family. We stayed with Nana and Papa from Friday to Monday. On Friday night, we went out to dinner. Then on Saturday, while I went to the Auburn game, Philip and Lia went to see Campbell dance in the Nutcracker. She had a fabulous time! Philip said she was enthralled and even tried to dance along with the show : ) Maybe its time for me to look into dance for her, haha! On Sunday, the whole family came over and we exchanged Christmas gifts. Lia got so many presents. She had a blast playing with her new toys and with her cousins. It was a great weekend!!

Lia playing with her cousins Campbell, Evan and baby Thomas. She had so much fun with them all weekend!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving day at the farm with my parents, my brother, Aunt Elaine and Uncle Howard, my cousin Jay and his wife Jenny and their two boys Hudson and Barrett. It was such a fun day! Aunt Elaine was so sweet to make me a cake to celebrate my birthday (I spent the actual day at the condo putting together Ikea furniture, yuck!) We had a really great time with our family and friends. What a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving!! Here are some photos:

Fun at the Farm

Lia had so much fun visiting Grandaddy's farm over Thanksgiving. He even got her some camo of her own : ) Here she is "driving" the buggy with Daddy and walking on the rocks with the dogs...

War Eagle!!

Auburn won the SEC Championship game against South Carolina in Atlanta last weekend, and I was lucky enough to be there! My brother, me, mom, dad, Uncle Rick, cousin Lauren, Uncle Gregg and Aunt Jane all went together. It was so much fun! I had never been to the Georgia Dome before. It was awesome to see us get such a big win!! Thanks for the ticket Mom and Dad! Next, Auburn will head on to the national championship! War Eagle!!!! Here are a few pics from our seats at the game:
