Trip to Amicalola Falls

We went to Amicalola Falls back in November and spent a beautiful day hiking and enjoying nature.
The kids played and climbed on rocks along the way
posed for a photo once we made it to the top of the falls

enjoyed all the beautiful fall colors and leaves
and just had a great time together as a family.

Savannah turns 5

Savannah celebrated her 5th birthday at the end of November! I can't believe that she is 5 years old. She told me she wanted "ballet stuff", so here she is showing off her moves. Her birthday was on a Sunday this year, so we opened presents in the morning and invited family over for cake and ice cream later that night.

I didn't get any pictures of her blowing out her candles- it was kinda hectic, but you can see her cake on the table. It was a horse/stable cake and she loved it.
Here she is excited about a few gifts.

The following friday she celebrated with her friends. She had a definite plan of what she wanted to do and I forgot to take pictures of most of the things we did.
We started off at the pet store where the girls were able to hold guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, bunnies, gerbils, etc. They looked at dogs, snakes, fish, and boy, was it exciting. We were there for quite a while.
From there we went to Chick-fila, where the girls ate and played. Mostly they played. :D

After that we went to Gigi's Cupcakes and each girl chose a cupcake. We took them back to our house and the girls ate the cupcakes and played and had a great time.

We had lots of fun celebrating Savannah's birthday and we love her so much. She is such a sweet little girl. So cheerful and helpful and kind. We love you Savannah!
