They're back.....
Yes, I wore this same style of barrettes when I was young and they're making a comeback. I made these two pairs yesterday for Morgan and she loves them so much she keeps them in until she goes to bed - which is a huge deal for us! I've got more ribbon, so there will be more to add to her growing collection of hair accessories.

Snow Day!!
I woke up to Morgan yelling, "Mama, come look - it's snowing!" Sure enough - huge flakes. I told her she couldn't go out and play until there was enough to play in...it sure didn't take very long. We bundled up and headed out.

Swinging in the snow
The snow didn't last very long, but it sure was fun while it was here.

Crafts with Kolton
Kolton helped Morgan make this bracelet. 
I didn't realize she sounded southern until this video.
Morgan's view through the camera.
Kolton made a tent in his bedroom for Morgan to play in.
Strawberry milk, mmmmmm.

My Birthday
Jamie surprised me with this beautiful cake, he's so sweet.
You can't see, but Morgan's in my arms helping me blow out my many candles.

Pigeon Forge
Jamie and I left on a Friday morning and headed to Pigeon Forge, TN. We arrived early afternoon. We kind of just wandered aimlessly around our hotel room for a while not knowing what to do with ourselves. We finally decided to sit down and map out a plan for our stay. We decided to take in Dixie Stampede for dinner and then afterwards we went souvenir shopping for the kids.
Saturday morning we woke up and headed over to Gatlinburg for the sky lift. It was so cold, but so worth it. It's been something I've always wanted to do and haven't been able to with three kids in tow (not to mention the scary height factor). So here's a bunch of cheesy pics that we took on our way up.
Looking ahead to the top of the mountain.
Jamie not feeling so well here, but I'm having a blast!
I just love him so much.
They had stocking caps and gloves in the store atop the mountain - Jamie's head and ears needed some warming...isn't he cute? We did not purchase this hat, but later wished we had!

After browsing and warming up, we headed back down the mountain - more cheesy pics.
Shoe shot, Jamie didn't participate because he thought I was shaking the chair.
After the sky lift we went and found a restaurant for some breakfast and then went and had old time portraits taken. That was fun, but a little out of this modest gal's comfort zone. That's something I've always wanted to do, though...so hopefully next time we get a chance we'll include the kids. We had an appointment for some zip lines that afternoon, so we headed back over to Pigeon Forge. Here's some picks of Jamie getting all geared up.
All ready to go - we had a total of 10 in our group.
I'm ready, too!
Heading up the mountain.
Here we go...
A little nervous, but excited.
Look at me!
Jamie's turn.
He was a natural, seems he's done this sort of thing before. Hmpf!
Different angle, he's coming in for a landing this time.
Watch out for me, here I come...wheeeeee!
We got to act like kids instead of the grown up parents we are!

Jamie's always wanted to wear a thong or g-string on the outside of his jeans! Hahahaha!

After the zip lines we ate at the Old Mill...wonderful food! We did a little more shopping and then headed back to the room to rest after our long adventurous day. Sunday we spent the day shopping in the rain, lots of fun. We hit the Scrapbook outlet store on Monday morning and then headed back home. This was so much fun and so badly needed, our first time without the kids - we need to do this more often!
Grandma & Grandpa's Visit
Grandma and Grandpa arrived safely and were so kind to come keep the kids so Jamie and I could go on our first ever - kids free getaway! I think the kids were happy to see some fresh faces too. Grandpa took Kolton to karate on Friday night and Saturday morning and then took the boys to see Avatar while Grandma stayed home with Morgan to craft. They also took Morgan to Lowe's Build and Grow clinic Saturday morning to make a tic-tac-toe game while Kolton was in karate.
Everyone was in on this phone call...thank goodness for wireless connections!
The night before we were leaving for Pigeon Forge!
I think Grandpa was happy to be on ground and with family.
This was one of many projects that Grandpa tackled.
I think Morgan was giving him much needed input.
Happy with the results...job paid in full! :D
Grandma was keeping busy while Grandpa was working.

Princess Morgan
A much needed rest, she's such a cuddler.
Grandma came prepared with lots of crafts...Lady liberty resides here.
Princess Morgan also resides here...depends on the day!
Another project for Grandpa.
A flower that is now on Morgan's bedroom door. Did we mention that Morgan LOVES crafts?
Grandma and Grandpa took Morgan to play at McDonald's and get some fresh air.
