New York City

On our way to NYC to celebrate our girl turning 13!  This was a trip of a lifetime!  

Even rain doesn't slow this city down!

Ellen's Stardust Diner!  "From Burgers to Broadway"





Lady Liberty


Federal Building with The Father of our Country

The Little Chapel that Stood.
 This church was a resting place and a meeting place for  all of the people that endured that chaotic day and the months after.  

Memorial Reflection Pond.

One World Tower



The Lion King did not disappoint!  The costuming in this show was AMAZING!

So fun to see all of the stores in Times Square.




The make-up artist for Fox and Friends sought out our girls to give them treats from the set.   Such a JOY!

Meeting Fox News Personality from Fox and Friends!

Quick stroll through Central Park

The Met



The first pay phone the girls have ever seen!   Technology keeps moving at a rapid pace!





Top of the Rock

9-11 Memorial Museum.  This place was amazing.  I am not sure S. and I were prepared for all of the emotions that were triggered.   Such an honoring place on hallowed ground.   Never Forget...on this day America UNITED....So many HEROS






Night sky from the Empire State Building

Their first Broadway show!

Right outside our hotel.  This is one we will see someday!








Haunted House






The girls participated in the neighborhood haunted house.  You have to sign up in August so they have been looking forward to it FOREVER!   We actually were able to get all of the make-up and hair paint out after a long night of being scary!   Continuing to make memories!

Cotillion


Mia ready to meet her friends for another night of Cotillion.  This weeks after party was at the Holler for shuffleboard and dinner.   

Mary Kate, Aubrey, McKenna, Ansley and Caroline.  


It was our turn to host.  These girls arrived around 4, had appetizers and then got ready for a night at cotillion.  What a great group of girls!   They all went to dinner at The Olive Garden afterward and had so much fun at a table by themselves!  These years are THE BEST!

We have a TEENAGER!!!!

Her new earrings!



Unwrapping all of the travel items with a final luggage tag that said, "Pack your bags you are going to NYC!"  This girl was in for a trip that she has wanted to take forever!!!!





May all of her wishes come true!  
This girl has been such a blessing for 13 years.  We are so thankful that God chose us to be her parents.   She is so introspective and wise beyond her age.  She is smart, funny, beautiful and loyal.  I cannot wait to see how God continues to shine on her life.  

Roll Tide











We are so thankful to make it to an Alabama game every year.  This year we only traveled 20 min for the game.  When we make the drive to T-town it is so much fun to be among so many fans.  We will take what we can get!  RTR
