Little elf and daddy....
Real reindeer! Austin loved seeing these guys- they were pretty neat, I don't think I'd ever see a REAL reindeer before either!
On the merry go round.....
Mommy and the little elf.....
An actual, real good family picture...with the snowman's head kinda cut off :)
Mr. Man and Santa!
Couple of random pics from a meetup with Santa at our library, and Christmas playdays with our mom's group at the beach..........
My husband says I am going to jinx the Saints by claiming in my earlier post that we are already planning our super bowl party for the saints......ok, so I'm taking that back- we just hope they beat the vikings!!!!! GEAUX SAINTS!
Going to try to catch up on posting my pics from December and the holidays.....some christmas photos I actually got to take of Austin at the beach!
Needless to say, we were so excited to see the Saints beat the Cardinals last weekend and we are planning for a Super Bowl party here! Austin's favorite new thing to run around saying is "WHO DAT?!". And for some reason when we were watching the game with him the name "SHOCKEY" appealed to him, so that's his favorite player now (minus Tim Tebow of course) and he loves to say it with much enthusiasm! Grammy got us some saints gear for Christmas so hears Austin sporting it all.........
After a crazy holiday season, we are back and just celebrated John's thirtysomething-ish birthday this past weekend. We had a really good day for a really great daddy :) Minus some rain that spoiled some steak grilling! Austin kept telling John really sweetly the whole day, "happy birthday dada!" We spent the morning playing putt putt and hitting balls at the batting cages and the driving range, watched the Saints whip the Cardinals, and then had a special dinner and cake at home. Perfect day for dad- We love you!
Austin in the batting cages- you know he insisted on doing this even though John and I were sure he was going to get knocked out by one of these balls! They had a slow pitch softball cage and he actually really got the hang of it and hit some balls with his own tball bat he brought along.
Showing off my helmet...........
This picture is for Granddad....He really loved hitting golf balls with dad on the driving range- he kept saying he was "whacking it!" They even gave him a real driver just his size to use. He will definately be taking his granddad back to this place when they come again for a visit :)
Helping dad blow out the candles on his cake- with my pants missing!
