There is a town here in North Carolina known as McAdenville. They pride themselves on being called Christmas town. Around August of every year swarms of people gather and begin to test Christmas lights and then hang them all throughout the town. Then at the end of November thousands of people begin to drive at a super slow pace through the two mile stretch. We stumbled across this place about 3 years ago when Sophia was first born. She wasn't old enough to care then - but now she is so excited to see just two or three sets of lights so we decided to blow her mind with a trip to this town of wonder. The video is really not that grand as it is hard to capture something like this on video but we hope you enjoy it.

So...the walrus is advancing in his abilities...

The girls are growing up fast - Piper will be 9 months old in a matter of days and Sophia is enjoying each day as Piper gets a little older and more wrestl-a-ble. You'll see one of the pictures below where Piper is actually enjoying the wrestle time - but trust me when I say that Piper does not always enjoy these times of rolling around with big sister. Problem is that sis doesn't know her boundaries just yet - but she is learning.

Today mom built a tent using a table in our dining room area. Piper was so excited to see her big sister under the sweet little fort.
