Christmas card photo shoot

This year's photo shoot resulted in 4 decent shots and 189 deleted ones. Here are a few that didn't make the card, but were cute. The most successful way to get laughs out of all 3 kids is the tried and true method used by generations of familes... fart, poop, and pee jokes. It never fails.

Candy documentation

Clearly the OCD gene lives on....

Cameron decides which piece of candy he will eat for dessert, then checks it off his list....just to make sure it's all properly documented.

Coca-Cola Factory

Jackie and I headed to the Coca-Cola factory for a tour and taste testing.

 We breezed through the factory tour, vault of the secret recipe and the rest of the facility to get to the taste testing area. Each kiosk had the most common flavors of the continent. 

Korea's favorite flavor wasn't that bad. Some of them were just pure sugar syrup, which was clearly awesome to Jackie. Her favorite was Bibo from Africa. It was a kiwi mango sugar concoction.

She literally spent 30 minutes tasting every variety offered (even Dasani water with flavor boosters, translation more sugar).

 After a day full of sugar, we had a nice long walk with the babies.

My American Girl

We arrived at the American Girl store in Atlanta the minute it opened. Jackie cleaned house with her birthday money and then some. 

We celebrated her birthday with lunch at the bistro with her new babies.

 Meet Jack and Megan, born Nov 9, 2010.

 We took the kiddos for a stroll in their new wagon and picked up some dinner.

Happy Birthday, Jacqueline Elizabeth!

This year, Jackie's birthday fell on Election Day. In an effort to welcome all our bi-partisan friends and family, Jackie and Deane designed our garage door sign.

Continuing our theme of non-discrimation, we had cupcakes for the masses and cupcakes for the severely allergic. 

 We're all about The Brady Bunch around here. Groovy times down memory lane for this fox!

Daddy Boot Camp exists in many forms- pushing thy neighbor around the house 25 times builds such stamina. Not pictured, are the laps pushing various adults.

Halloween Happenings

Thanks to Julie, who snapped these photos of the gang on Halloween, and to Karen, who helped me throw together a last-minute party with 50+ guests! Just like Jesus with the loaves of bread and fish, Karen made 2 bottles of wine multiply to feed the masses. 

Lightening got out of his car to give some love to his best girl, Dorothy. (This was his first day on crutches).

 CamO soooo looks like his Daddy here, I just had to share.

 Mr. Chad and Miss Connie made the night magic with their trick-or-treating wagon.
