Abby's 2nd Birthday



Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!!!!!


Abby's Abby Cadabby Cake I made for her






Amicalola Falls

On the way home from our train ride in Blue Ridge we decided to stop off and attempt to hike Amicalola falls. It was cold and very hard to walk up the 145 steps to the base of the waterfall seven months pregnant, but with lots of breaks we finally made it. It was gorgeous and totally worth it.






Blue Ridge Scenic Railway


We went with Michael, Cristal, and Jackson to Blue Ridge to ride the scenic railway. We had such a good time. The train started in Blue Ridge and we rode it into McCaysville where we had dinner and walked around Santa's village. It was so much fun and we hope we can make it a tradition. The kids just loved it.
