Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

We had Johnna and Brad come down and visit for Thanksgiving! It was a great long weekend! We went to the dig, dig park, ate some yummy food, Josh and Brad fried a turkey and we just visited! The best part was all the playing we were able to do with the boys!

Chocolate Factory Tour

This is how you should look when you leave a chocolate factory!

This afternoon we headed out to Olive and Sinclair for a tour of their factory. Olive and Sinclair is a small chocolate factory in Nashville. They are actually the only chocolate factory in the south! The owner was a pastry chef that started making his own chocolate and this is not ordinary chocolate! Boy, if you can't tell by Jake's face this chocolate is delicious! He gets his cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic and Ghana. They sample throughout the process to ensure the proper taste. Each batch has it's own unique qualities. They have amazing flavors but my favorite is cinnamon chili! Jake liked them all and when I asked which he liked the most he just said, "More!"

You can find these candy bars in Whole Foods across the country. We highly suggest them, but be warned they are a bit pricey!

Jacob's Thanksgiving Pre-School Performance

Jake's first school performance. You can tell it was past his bedtime!

Happy Halloween

We had a fun filled day of Halloween activities! Starting with carving a pumpkin, then Jake's first school party and ending with Trick-or-Treating. Jake decided at the last minute that he did not want to be a "worker" again this year but instead wanted to be a bat. My only guess on where this came from is from reading Halloween books. Joey was a pumpkin and did great through the Trick-or-Treating and through Jake's school party! He is an angel as long as I am holding him! :)

The Pumpkin Patch

We headed out to the Pumpkin Patch to pick our own pumpkins. We went to Gentry Farm last year too but Jake enjoyed it a lot more this year! We had a great time taking a hayride, seeing farm animals, playing and of course picking pumpkins! Check out our pictures...
