Braves 2011

So today I took Trent to meet one of is "Idols." He absolutely loves Martin Prado who plays for the Atlanta Braves. What a nice person! I checked Trent and his friend, Hayden, out of school and off we went. Knowing the line was going to be outrageous I wanted to get there early. They were scheduled to arrive around 4. At 2:15 we were in line, in the freezing rain. Needless to say we were number #100 when we got there. We met a nice couple who was in line behind us with their teenage sons. They had brought a Thermos with hot chocolate and shared it with the boys. Trent was so nervous and excited. He had brought his Prado jersey and a baseball to have the players sign. The bench coach and 4 relief pitchers were also there. I took a baseball book for all of them to sign and a Prado baseball card. Everyone working for the Braves so was nice. Isn't Prado a cutie?

SNOW DAY

 Look at that face! Priceless....

Celebrating Christmas!

The Sunday before Christmas we celebrated the holiday with Brett's parents and brother.

Trent was so excitied to receive a Braves PRADO jersey and autographed baseball.

 Alyssa got her first American Girl doll. Looks like I will be going to North Point Mall to have the entire American Girl experience.

Let me introduce you to Annabell. Yep. Remember the Nov trip to the mountains where she showed up? After posting a listing on Craig's list and calling the local vets office in Blairsville... no one has claimed her. So looks like we got a new member of the family. We think that she is a puppy still. We will officially take her to the vet to be cleared sometime after the holidays.

 It was Ethan's first Christmas! He is a doll. Reminds me alot of Trent at that age.

 Christmas morning the kids were so excited. Santa had brought Trent an Ipod Touch and Alyssa a DSi. I think I was just as excited to see them so excited!!!

 Christmas afternoon we went to my parents house. Here are the cousins.......

 Merry 1st Christmas, Josalynn!!

Christmas at RockSpring

I was so glad I was able to get the time off work to go to the school for the kids holiday parties. It was sad to know that this was Trent's last Christmas party. Wow! Time flies by so fast. Of course I wasn't able to get as many pictures of Trent with his classmates because that is just not "cool." I am just thankful that Alyssa still loves the idea of Momma being there.

 It was pajama day. They watched the Polar Express and drank hot chocolate.
