There was just no way to bring the fun Tonka trucks that Nana and Bopa gave the boys! So they'll get a re-gift when Nana and Bopa come for the twins' 2nd birthday party next year!
It feels so much better to play than to ride in a car for 4.5 hours!
Cade and Carson are very into presents now!
They worked hard to stack all of these on the stairs!
The Dobson family Christmas was lots of fun! We missed a lot of the cousins, but managed to fill up the club house with family and presents and lots of food! Daddy helps Carson open presents on Saturday!
Cade found one for him!
The boys love their tractors from Uncle Ken and Aunt Karen!
Carson, Cade, and Suzi enjoyed coloring their new coloring books from GG and Big Papa!
The bows were lots of fun, too!
Uncle Ned and Suzi had fun! We missed Aunt Suzanne and baby Zane!
Then we had a fun visit to Great Grandmama and Great Granddaddy's house!
The boys had fun visiting with their Great Grandparents on this trip - it was so nice to be in town for longer than one or two nights, because we actually got to visit!
Nana and GGM Viv gave the boys big boy cups to drink out of - they don't get that very often with us (for our convenience)!
On Friday, it didn't rain! So, we went to the Stump House Tunnel! That's one of my favorite places ever! It's this big tunnel they were building for the railroad to go all the way through SC up to Ohio or somewhere. My great great great granddaddy helped to blast that tunnel, so it's extra neat to me! Anyway, the money ran out and then the war between the states took over and now here it is - a part of Walhalla's history! They have closed most of it, but it's still cool and the boys liked the echo.
Isaqueena Falls!
It was a beautiful day for outdoor family fun!
The boys loved the fresh air!
They loved playing on these bridges!
And looking at rocks and nature stuff!
We also went and visited some family that live in Mountain Rest! My Aunt Kay's new house is beautiful!!! Sorry, no pictures. I had not seen it since they moved in! That was fun, and the twins loved their dogs!
Suzi, Cade and Carson read books on the porch!
Carson loves to read!
Cade, Suzi, and Carson enjoyed their pretend meal much more than real dinner!
Nana and Suzi shook the jingle bell while everyone sang Jingle Bells! Of course, you know who went next and other next (or "I turn!" as Carson calls it)!
Nana leads Suzi and Cade in Ring Around the Rosies! Carson and I had fun with that, too, but the fun for him ended when the camera came out!
That night Kevin and I went to a nice dinner after the children went to bed! I have such a wonderful husband to put up with all this family time and away from home time and at such a time when Nana and Bopa had just cancelled the ESPN package on their satellite! He was so great all week! More pictures from the end of the week to come!All day with three little ones was extra- extra-special! Started out with breakfast on the Mickey and Minnie plates!
Then an ABC movie which one of the little ones was into watching.
Off to the mall! No pix of that, but they did so great with the twins in the stroller and Suzi holding my hand!
Lunch split by three!
We enjoyed lunch with several of Mommy's high school friends and here is our little friend - baby Tanna! She has the prettiest curls!
After riding around on the tractors, the boys decided to push theirs! Then we all went for a golf cart ride - no pix but tons of fun for the children!
Carson is about to throw the ball back to Big Papa!
Cade hugs GG goodnight!
Cade, Suzi, and Carson talk with Nana and Bopa about Minnie kissing their ears!
Cade peeks around Carson while riding on the pony before bed tonight!
Suzi came over to play!
We went to visit baby Zane and Suzanne after putting the little ones down for nap at Nana's!
The baby needed a diaper change!
Baby Zane loves Uncle Kevy already!
I love sweet baby Zane!
Then we took the twins to visit GG and Big Papa! Oops, no camera! And the battery died after this picture b/c I have not charged it this week. (It's charging tonight.) So this was Great Grandmama Viv, Nana, Suzi, and Great Granddaddy Bob at the Steak House for dinner tonight!
