After a wonderful Christmas weekend at home, we headed to Hartselle to spend the last week of our vacation. We had a really great week. The weather was crazy! There was snow on the ground when we got into town on Monday and then thunderstorms and 70 degree weather by New Year's eve! But, we had so much fun spending time with family, playing around with the kiddos, and even cheering on the bulldogs to a bowl game victory! WAHOO!!
Thanks to Gigi and Jabo for letting us shack up at their house all week. Y'all are so sweet to open your house to our family, our dog, and all of our "stuff!" :)
I will go ahead and warn you that the pictures are sort of random, but you can at least get a glimpse at some of the fun things we did over the week.
Will did lots of cooking with Gigi:
The little ones also got into the cooking action a little bit this year.
Here is a rare shot of all the Whatley guys together. What a good looking group!
Patrick gave Will and Andrew a soccer goal and all of the soccer equipment to go with it, so as you can imagine, they spent a lot of time running around outside, being boys.
More randomness from the week:
Will got some "work boots" from Gigi and Jabo, which he was so excited about because they are "just like Daddy's and Jabo's boots!"
And lastly, I wouldn't normally post such a terrible picture of myself(I was a little under the weather, ok?), but I thought it was pretty funny how Will and I are making basically the same face. And I wonder where the boy gets all his crazy looks! :)
And on a more serious note, Dan's grandfather (Papa) went into the hospital on New Year's Eve with chest pains. After a long weekend in the hospital, he ended up having open heart surgery on Tuesday morning in Birmingham. The surgery went well, but he has a long road to recovery in front of him, so please keep him, his wife (Nanny), and all of his family in your prayers!
