Eden and Everly are 11!

 

These two cuties turned 11 today! I can't believe how big they are getting! These two are so much fun. They are the best of friends most days. They are always coming up with some new game, activity or dance. They both love doing science experiments and drawing and coloring pictures. They both love to read and enjoy school. Both girls love to play tennis and enjoy playing with all their friends. 5th grade has been fun for these two. They are even switching classes so they are getting prepared for middle school next year. 

At 11 years old Eden is happy and sweet. She loves to be a leader and create elaborate plays and dances that all her friends love to participate in. She enjoys tennis and math and she also loves to read especially at night. Her favorite fast food is chic fil a nuggets and her favorite home cooked meal is still pasta with red sauce. Eden is still a picky eater which we are still working on every day. She has discovered a few new favorites this year. Eden loves Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainer and Arianna Grande. She really loved the movie Wicked this year and can't wait for the next one to come out. Eden cares so much about what everyone is feeling, she is really empathetic to everyone around her. She does like to lead and be in charge though! What can I say girls are complicated! At 11 Eden weighs 70.5 lbs and is 4'11" tall. 

At 11 years old Everly is such a cool kiddo. She loves school and her teachers. She loves to learn and is being tested for gifted in January. She is so much fun to be around. She loves to play with her friends and play tennis. Her favorite TV show to watch right now is The Babysitters Club and she loves the Middle School Disasters books. She is still our best sleeper and often conks out within a few minutes of laying down. Everly is a great eater and will usually try most foods. She still loves tennis and is recovering nicely from her three broken bones this year and finally getting back to playing. Everly is loyal and kind. 

At 11 Everly weighs 109.5 lbs and is 4'7" tall. 

November 2024

 I started out this month with another trip down to the beach house! We went for a friend's birthday and for the food and wine festival Rosemary Uncorked. We had so much fun celebrating our friend and eating and drinking our way through the town! We even got our colors done! 

Ellasen had a horse show this month! She did very well bringing home many ribbons including several first place ribbons and two reserve champions.

Then it was time for the twins' fifth grade field trip. Tim and I both got to attend as chaperones since we had two kids going! We took charter buses to Chattanooga, TN. Our first stop was Rock City, then it was off to a riverboat down the Tennessee River followed by a trip to the Chattanooga Aquarium! 

We attended a couple of UGA football games this month. The first one was an adults only crew and a night game! Tim and I got to go down on the field at halftime and be recognizedbecause we are donors to the university! 

We had a great time celebrating Ellasen's 15th birthday this month! On her actual birthday we had a family dinner with the grandparents. Ellasen requested a homemade dinner and a macaroon tower cake!

Then we took a few of her friends out to the Avalon for makeovers and dinner! The girls had a great time and looked so beautiful and grown up!

We had a great Thanksgiving Break with the kids at home for a week. Even though we didn't go on a trip we managed to squeeze in a ton! We saw two movies (Wicked and Moana 2), had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner at AAC, did some Christmas shopping, decorated our home for Christmas and Tim and I even got out for a date night to hear some live music.
