The Grommersch Family: November 2013

A Weekend at Home....

This past weekend, we went to my parents house in Coffeeville, Mississippi to spend the weekend. We hadn't been "home" since August so we were due for a trip. We ate in Oxford on the way down Friday night, went to Bull Bottom Farms on Saturday & got to visit w/ Katie and meet Baby Jack Henry Robinson, & attended my hometown annual Homecoming on Sunday. It was a great weekend. I got to visit w/ my 2 best friends - Ginny & Randye- & got to see lots more people that I don't get to see very often. All in all, it was a great weekend. I love still being able to go home to my parents house. There's just "no place like home!"

I finally got to meet Jack Henry! And, of course, Ella had to hold him :)

Sweet baby boy...Loved getting to visit w/ he and his Mama!

Peace, Love, & BBF!

Halloween 2013

On Halloween Eve, Ella & I put on our matching aprons and headed to the kitchen to make some Halloween treats for Ella's babysitter & friends & mine & Tim's offices. We made our annual Ghost Cookies, Witches Hats, & Broomsticks! Ella loved it. She was at the perfect age so she was totally interested and wanted to "help" me in any way that she could. The witches hats and broomsticks were perfect for her to do to as they just required taking off the wrappers of the candy and helping me stick the 2 pieces together. We had a blast. Love making memories like this w/ my baby girl :)

Her expressions make me laugh....

Sweet smiles from my little chef!

Thanks to our Cousin Robbye England, Ella had a hand-me-down (we love Roo-Roo's hand me downs!) Minnie Mouse costume complete w/ ears to dress up in for Halloween. Luckily, she has just recently gotten "into" Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/Disney so she was fine w/ being Minnie :) We had a fun neighborhood get together scheduled (smores, hot dogs, & a hayride for the kiddos) in our cove, but due to the weather, the neighborhood assc cancelled so we walked around "the loop" w/ 2 other neighbors and their families collecting candy. It turned out to be just fine as our one loop was plenty of trick or treating for Ella's short little 2 yr old legs! :)

My Prissy Mouse was ready to go!

(I actually got better pics on my cell phone!)

All smiles while waiting on Daddy to get home from work!

Beach Trip w/ The McKay's

Back in October, we took a long beach weekend trip w/ our friends The McKays. It was Fall Break weekend for the kids, & I also had a bank holiday that Monday- Columbus Day - so it worked out perfectly! We had the best time doing nothing but playing in the ocean, building sandcastles, swimming at the pool, lounging, watching football, visiting, & eating! The kids had a blast and got along really well the entire time. The gulf was absolutely beautiful. We stayed in Perdido Beach and it wasn't crowded and the weather was perfect. I will never go back to the beach any other time but in the fall. PERFECT time to go! It truly was a vacation & I think we all came back very relaxed. Enjoy pics below..... :)
