Thanksgiving and Dauphin Island

We had a great time shopping, eating and catching up with family in Alabama. 

Yesterday we snuck away for Mimi to show us one of their favorite fishing spots. It was a hike with three little ones but such a blast! 

Fun was had by all and we are glad to be home!! 

Thankfully we decorated before we left so it's time to grab the wrapping paper, hot chocolate and start the Advent calendar tomorrow! 

Oh.... And Roll Tide! Good game Auburn! Always is one of the best games of the season!!

Mardi Gras: Mobile Style

We enjoyed most of the night parades while down in mobile and I am so glad to be able to share a piece of mobile culture with the kids!!

Til next time!

Mardi gras part 2 and spring break

Mardi Gras in mobile

We went down to experience mardi gras and stay with the inlaws for the week.

The kids had a blast! 

We brought warm clothes then it got cold... Then it rewarmed. The sun was bright and it was a nice change of scenery! 

Sister loved just hanging out between parades.

Bath time was apparently really funny to baby whit! 

The connor's were reunited! 

And I learned how hard it is to take selfies with a 5 year old!

The king cake was awesome and now we begin the season of Lent! 

Do y'all celebrate mardi gras? 

If so where? I enjoyed being apart of this for the second time and sharing this tradition daddy grew up with our kids!
