Halloween to New Years and anything in between

I did it again.  I have waited almost 2 months to update the dang blog, and I know all of you have been waiting each and every day to see if I'm posting something new.  Well, here it is, and shockingly it a huge explosion of photos.  I really am hoping to pick back up with at least monthly blogs in 2015....not for you people out there, but it's just a great way to keep track of milestones and memories.  We shall see how that goes.

Halloween was so much fun this year- Frances really got into the whole Trick or Treating thing and the girl loves candy like her mama.  She had a multitude of costumes including a cow, Tinkerbell, and Jane Fonda (there's a story behind that).  We got to spend Halloween in Oxford which also included the triplets turning 3!

We had a very nontraditional Thanksgiving this year, as we drove 10 hours south to Cocoa Beach for a little vacation and a little marathon running.  We celebrated our dear friend and Frances' godmother's 50th birthday down there, and then several of them ran the Space Coast Marathon.  Frances and I were just spectators.  One thing is clear from our recent travels: Frances loves hotel living.

Christmas and New Year's were wonderful as well, as we got to spend a lot of time with family and friends.  Frances was a HUGE fan of Santa this year- I mean, borderline stalking the man. Pretty sure she had at least 5-6 Santa visits.  Sadly I got hit by a nasty stomach bug on Christmas Eve, so we spent Christmas Day in isolation.  The Nichols crew came to town after Christmas and, as always, we had a big time.  We went to the McWane Center one rainy day (along with every.single.person in Alabama) and took a short trip to Atlanta and went to the Georgia Aquarium.

So now it's 2015....Frances will be 4 years old in a month, we might try to sell our house (again), and life is good. Within the past month, Frances gone to having no pacifier and sleeping in a big girl bed. Life changes when we least expect.  2015 is sure to bring plenty more changes, challenges, and celebrations.  We are ready!
