Art and Soul

For Girls Night Out with our Sunday School Class we went to Art and Soul in Germantown for a painting party.   This is the same place I had the girls birthday party back in November.  I had a great time. 








Ice Skating at The Zoo

Also I January we went Ice Skating at the Zoo.  The Spellings joined us and the girls skated.  Raymond and I watched!  Some people make it look so easy...








Cal did not skate, he hung out with me and Raymond and watch everyone else skate.


January 2012

I have been MIA for a while here on the blog.  Between the girls school, homework, baton practice, day school and life we have been very busy!  Here is some of what we did in January...

Free Donut Day at Gibson's Donut just for saying GO TIGERS!  This was for 3 days following the Tigers victory over UT.


Fantasy Football Champions Lunch at Huey's.  Rachel was this years winner.  My team was very bad this year so I finished near the bottom of our league. 


The 100th Day of School Project for Allie.  Here is Alli's 100 stickers.  Abby's class did not do one this year.
 


Flat Stanley for our friends in the Philippines.  We took Flat Stanley around with us for 2 weeks and here he is with the girls in their classrooms. 


Temple Run!  Debbie introduced this game to me at Christmas and now I am addicted to it. You run thru the temple ruins away from the monkeys and collect coins.  Here is my highest score.  Even the girls enjoy playing this game. 

School picture day at school means you dont have to wear uniforms!

Peabody Ducks & Downtown Carriage Ride

On Friday, December 30th we made our annual trip to the Peabody to see the Peabody Ducks march to the lobby fountain.  I think this is the 3rd or 4th year we have done this with the Spellings and the Barber's.  All the kids have such a great time.

Here they are waiting not so patiently :)  Honestly they did pretty well waiting the 25plus minutes waited.  There are always so many people waiting to see the ducks march.

Following the duck march we head to Huey's for lunch. 
 
 
 
After lunch the crowds have thinned and we returned to the Peabody for pictures and duck viewing. 
 
Roof top pictures

After we came down from the roof the girls spent their Christmas money from Aunt Ella at Lansky's
in the Peabody.   Abby bought a rubber duck with the hotel name on it and Allie bought at hotel key chain.  On our way out of the hotel the girls (Abby, Allie and Ammie) saw a Cinderella Carriage and asked if we could we take a ride. Ainsley and I checked the price and decided we would do it.  The driver took us down Main Street, Court Square and the park across from the Morgan Keegan tower where we called Raymond and went to the window to see us in the park.  We had never taken a carriage ride and we loved it!  We look forward to our next one.  It was a little chilly but lots of fun.

Grizzle Home Opener

Raymond won tickets to the Grizzles home opener on Wednesday, December 27th.


After the game started the girls took turns playing on my iPhone for a while. 




We walked down Beale Street on our way to the car after the game. It was quite funny explaining Beale Street and the music to the girls.  Abby wanted to know how old she had to be to be able to go into one of the buildings and listen to music.  I told her 21!  We had a great time at the girls first Grizzles game.

Christmas at Granny & Papaw's

After going to Christmas service at church we headed to Savannah for Christmas at my parents.
