Happy Birthday Steven

Steven's parents came down to celebrate his birthday last Saturday (on his actual birthday).  

lunch on the patio at Beef's

Due to the move, we weren't able to get together with my family until this weekend.   Lunch at one of Steven's favorites

Is he not the cutest?  He loves his Uncle Pete

 the last of the presents

Looking forward to next year's birthday :)

National Champs!

Sadly, I was not able to make the trip to South Florida to see Alabama play against Notredame in the national championship game.  This stupid job just gets in the way of all the fun :)

Steven actually didn't have tickets to the game, but went down for the festivities.  He was able to see some of his family from Ft Lauderdale while he was there and tailgated with some of our friends from home.

I know it was a fun trip and I hope to make the next one.

Roll Tide!

End of 2012

Before the end of the year, we went to the beach for a few days.  Last year we were down there around the same time, and the weather was so nice...so nice that we went to Target and bought a few short sleeved shirts.  This year not so much...it was freezing, but we still had a great time!

Fulton and his silly facial expressions...as usual he was our little entertainer.

We ended up coming home New Years Eve day, so we had dinner at Beef's and watched a little football, and spent the rest of the evening at home.   Very low key, but nice evening to end 2012.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas again this year!

We went to Steven's parents Christmas Eve night.  We had a great dinner, opened presents and just hung out with each other.

Christmas morning...

Christmas morning Steven and I opened a few gifts from each other and then packed the rest up and headed over to Kristen and Matt's for late breakfast/brunch.  The guys are big fans of breakfast foods, so they enjoyed the pancakes, eggs, sausage, grits, breakfast casserole, sausage balls, fruit and much more!

Fulton was all about some present opening!  So much he even helped everyone open their presents, without them asking :)  He got lots of fun new toys and some super cute clothes.

 About mid day, we packed it up again and made our way over to Grandma's house.  I guess Fulton was a little burned out on the present opening...he let Grandma open her stuff all by herself.

Kristen and I were going through some stuff in one of the bedrooms at Grandma's house and came across this little gem...one of Mom's old wigs.  I'm not sure I believe her when she said she asked for this and did wear it.  Come to think of it, maybe I should consider this idea...sure would save me some time in the mornings!  Everyone enjoyed trying it on.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
