Sam Nolan's Most Favorite Present for 5 year old birthday

All he wanted for his bday was to go to his first Monster truck rally...

Of course, in AL, it snows in January. So we book a hotel the night before the snow was supposed to hit. We took Delaney to my parents and took SN all by himself to have fun.

Nothing was open for lunch, except Mugshots (which locked its doors while we and two other people were eating).

We waited on the snow...

Waited...

And waited some more. All while in a tiny room. Good thing we brought his glove and tennis ball to throw/catch and an iPad. And food.

For dinner, only pub food was available. We saw tons of kids there, though!

So, we celebrated with some drinks (no, he didn't drink the beer).

Riding on elevator and pressed buttons made for a happy boy!

Picture of Delaney at my parents they sent me.

The monster truck jam was cancelled at the last minute, so they only let in a couple of people (mostly crazies) and those who braved the icy roads (one drive 6 hours!!) into the pit party.

We saw all the big trucks and met ALL the drivers!!!

He had the best time and didn't even know we didn't see the jam. Sweet boy!!

Party on, Sam Nolan!!!

Christmas Memory 2016

I treasure this picture because this is the spot you could find us almost everyday in December. It reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas, and we were absolutely content where we were. They love our tradition of doing our Jesse Tree activity each day. They opened a book from under the tree, and Delaney would read while Sam Nolan sat next to me and listened to every word. What a calm, wonderful, magical time. At home. I hope they keep this memory forever. I will.
