Weekend in the Mountains

This past weekend we decided to make the trek to the mountains with our good friends the Romines and see what we could find. Sure enough we found lots of snow, a cozy little cabin and lots of smiles on two very happy toddlers! The highlight of the weekend was sledding on some great slopes not too far from where we were staying. Tate and his good buddy Griffin could not get enough of their big adventure in the snow. So glad to have had this opportunity less than 2 hours from our doorstep!

Ho Ho Holidays!!

Well, this year we had the Christmas that just kept on giving as we were able to celebrate with family several different times. Needless to say, Tate got quite his fair share of opening gifts and should be set for 2013! As always, we had a magical time in Tennessee for Christmas and our little boy was on cloud nine with his cousins. The visits are too short but we definitely packed in a lot of holiday cheer while we were there complete with a few snowflakes, lots of lights, too much good food and precious time with friends and family. Before we left we also got to celebrate with Papa John and Nonna so thanks again to everyone for all the blessings you brought us this season. God is good!

October in a Nutshell

Well, October was definitely a busy month but full of fun and visitors too! I just love what the fall provides every year and this one was no exception. We've enjoyed cooler weather, pumpkin patches, autumn playdates, Halloween, dressing up, lots of pumpkin muffins and getting to see so much family! Although they technically didn't get here until November 1st, both Susu and Aunt Em came out for a long weekend visit and we were all thrilled! I unfortunately completely forgot to get out my camera while they were here but we did get some of Tate and "Fufu" on Brandon's phone. We also got to do brunch one morning in October with Aunt Rachael, Grandma and Grandpa so it has been a wonderful season of visits.

My Birthday Boys

I was outnumbered by people turning a year older in my house this past Saturday and thus it was my duty to make it special and wonderful for my two amazing boys! Tate turned the big 2 this year and Brandon is still climbing the ladder in his thirties but who's counting?? We had a great day of opening presents, being outside, relaxing and hanging out with friends for the evening. So blessed to have a perfect day for the birthday boys!

Family Beach Trip 2012

The Rosenthal three had been looking forward to this beach trip with my family for months and it sure did pay off! We enjoyed beautiful weather, great meals, cousin play time and even a birthday celebration together. The moments we had with Susu & Papa, Uncle Monty & Aunt Em and Mac & Alice were priceless and wish we just could have made them last a little longer! Long live Destin...my favorite beach in the country!
