We all went to Helen this Thanksgiving just to do something different with the kids. It was great to spend so much time with Kurt, Ashley, Mom, and the kids! They were all so excited to spend the night with each other and went non-stop the whole time. We lost count of how many meltdowns occurred...as a group, they are some dramatic children! It was really a great time and they all were so fun to be around!

| Eli on his 4th birthday!! |
 |
| This boys is so handsome. He is my laid back one and partner-in-crime while Jay is at school each day. He is his daddy's son...serious, smart, and goofy. He loves fishing with Papa Tim in Steinhatchee and reading books with Mama Ross. He loves going to Wild Adventures with Mimi and always has to go to "Mimi's playground" when we go to Valdosta. He loves all of his family and gets so excited about seeing them, no matter how often. Jay is his best bud. He follows him around all day. He loves being outside and fixing things with his tools. Eli makes us laugh everyday and keeps us on our toes with his questions, arguments, and observations. Our world is so full and fun and unpredictable because of this precious boy! |
 |
| I love this....so perfect of both personalities. |
 |
| He bought a scooter with his b-day money from Granny Curry and is so proud of it! |
 |
