UGA vs EKU

Today was another first in the McLure household. Their first UGA basketball game!! I really don't know who was more excited...the boys for going, Jammy and Grandy for taking us, or daddie for taking his boys. It was quite an exciting game as they were neck and neck all game long. But loads of alli-oops by us and missed 3 pointers by them, we came out with a win! Way to go Dawgs!


Hairy Dawg seemed to be the most infamous event at the game. He hung around our section for the majority of the afternoon and the boys gave him more high-5's and hugs than twinly possible.

Macy's Pink Pig

Since 1953, Pricilla the Pink Pig has been in operation to delight Atlantans and visitors of the city during the Christmas season. She started in the basement of Rich's department store but when it closed in '91, they moved her to Egleston and there they found it was too expensive to run. They closed her down in '95 and donated her to the Atlanta History Museum. Then, she was brought back to life as they updated and restored her on the top parking deck of Macy's in 2003. Long story short, you can't find too many native Atlantans that haven't heard of her (Sean and Erika excluded!!). Today, the boys and I paid homage to our southern roots and Atlanta culture and took a ride on the pig! The boys loved it!!

Snowfall in Woodstock

Christmas day, 2010 showed us that Atlanta CAN have a snowfall that sticks!! It's been since the 1800s that this city has seen the white precipitation accumulate...and accumulate it did! It snowed all day Xmas day and into the night. The flakes were big and fluffy and wet. Not enough to play in while it was coming down, but the next day...



Here's the snowman we built in our front yard. Well, the boys and daddie started helping, but when their gloves got wet and their hands got cold, they bailed! So, mommie did her mommie duty and finished the icy man herself.

Santa Claus came to the McLure's!

He left out the front door...jingling his bells all the way up in the sky! We had to wake Reed up out of a deep sleep and entice him downstairs with the promise of gifts galore.

He left cool stuff in our stockings, like watches and DVDs!

The boys are digging through their stockings trying to squeeze out every last gift from the fur to the toe!

Santa left presents wrapped under the tree! Some were to share and some were for each of the boys.

The 2-wheeled scooter was the hit of the morning. The boys rode them around the house all day long...mainly because it was too cold to ride them outside!!

Dawn says..."no....more....pie!!"

Comfortable, Reed?

Apparently, sleeping in your bed is waaaay overrated! The floor is a much more pleasant place to rest your weary body. And, as long as you have FOX to use as a pillow, you're set!

Going on a trip?

Lindsay: What are you guys doing?
Nolan: We're going bye-bye!
Lindsay: Where are you going?
Nolan: We're going to see Santa!!
Lindsay: Santa? Where does he live?
Reed: In the boar cole!
