Christmas tid-bits

On Monday, Cole's Mother's Day Out had a Christmas program..it was absolutely hilarious! He's been practicing- singing, dancing and all, around the house, giving us a snip-it of what to expect. We laughed so hard watching all the kids as they entertained us with "Jingle Bells"
and some "Santa" song. Later that evening (after his nap) I asked him a question, our conversation went a little like this:

me: I really enjoyed your Christmas program today..
Cole: OHH YEAH! Now, I'm Soooo tired (huge sigh..)
me: Do you need to go to bed early tonight?
Cole: I think so!
It's tiring when you're on stage!


We were hanging out in the living room the other night and Cole says,"Get out your camera and take a cheese (picture) of me"..how could I resist that? He's just getting the concept of smiling at the camera..not just saying "cheese", which was a brief phase...I just love this photo..too bad he doesn't have pants on!!


I asked Cole the other night what he wanted for Christmas, he said "a kitchen sink"..Good thing I put in a good word with Santa, I think he's bringing a kitchen, depends on if he stays on the good list.

West Coast and more

We just returned from a fabulous trip to California! My dear sister, Lara, was married which was fun time...we had so much fun preparing for the big day and got to spend a lot of sisterly time together. Here are a few photos from our trip (and some before the trip-because it's been so long since I last posted).
I realized when we got back that when you're in a wedding, it's harder to snap photos! I had so many "Matron of Honor" duties (not to mention following a 2 year old around). Now we're back, we all have colds and are enjoying settling back into our routine. There's nothing like home!


After the wedding, we drove north to stay with some friends and explore a bit. We made it to Santa Barbara for a day of great food, neat scenery, wonderful time with friends, and a little shopping!

If you're ever in Santa Barbara, they have the neatest little zoo! Because we are members of the Nashville zoo, we didn't even have to purchase tickets which was an added bonus. Marc and I giggled so much at the giraffe, we bought him a biscuit and fed him..it was truly priceless!

Lara, the bride with Cole, the ring bearer.

Mommy and Cole, thankfully, I brought a sweater to wear over my dress, the evening of the wedding, it was so cold!

Mema and Cole. Mema traveled to CA from Florida and she got a bad bought of stomach flu which kept her in the hotel for an extra 5 days! Poor Mema, we're glad you're all better now!


One of my favorite memories of this trip, Marc, Cole and I got up and drove to Laguna Beach (which was about 5 miles from where we were staying). We relaxed and had family time before the day got super busy!

Cole wasn't so sure about the sand...

We went hiking the weekend before the wedding at one of our favorite Nashville spots. It was really cold and Cole insisted on walking the whole time.
