– happy holidays 2012 –


we had a lovely holiday this year with both of our families. the kids were able to spend time with their aunts, uncles & cousins, which they thoroughly enjoyed, and also received some great goodies in the process! their loot included my neighbor totoro dolls for clem & a new blabla for grey! clem also got a super cool, shiny red tricycle from her grams and gandpa.

we had an easy time picking out gifts for all of our nieces & nephews this year at treehouse kids & craft, our friend kristen’s shop in athens, ga.

happy holidays!

– a family holiday tradition –


for the second year in a row, we went to kinsey family farms in search of the sterritt family christmas tree! it’s about an hour outside of atlanta and offers some great winter agritourism. besides picking out a tree, there’s plenty of holiday fun to be had! they have tractor rides, a petting zoo, and even hot cocoa & s’mores by a bonfire.

kinsey farms offers lots of christmas tree options as well. there are pre-cut firs, living trees, cut-your-own trees, as well as small charlie brown style ones and various wreaths. we went with a cut-your-own leyland cyprus like last year. clementine was a big help cutting down the tree, as you can see in the photos.

check out our post from last winter when we first discovered kinsey family farms. we are glad we’ve made it an annual family holiday tradition!

– a southern new year’s day –


we had quite the southern new year’s day! we cooked some greens and black eyed peas, grabbed takeout from fox bros. bar-b-q, including their amazing fried ribs, and managed to stay in our pj’s all day. what a treat!

it was probably our best fox bros. experience to date. we aren’t the biggest fans of texas bbq, but you can’t go wrong with their pulled pork, ribs or various tasty side dishes, like the frito-pie! their mac n’ cheese has nothing on community q bbq’s though, theirs is a must try in atlanta.

here is the fox bros. menu.
