Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's 2011?!  My how time flies.  And speaking of time...8 more weeks till we meet baby boy Long #2!!  There has been lots of work going on in the house to get ready for our new addition.
So much has happened in 2011.  First, our big snow storm!  It has had us trapped inside for days now and I think we are all experiencing a bit of cabin fever!  Second and most exciting is our new National Champions....AUBURN TIGERS!!!  I'm still in the clouds over this one.  But don't worry, new gear has been ordered and we will all be wearing it proudly very soon.  WARRRR EAGLE!!!!!  Oh and Happy New Year!
So here are a lots of pics from Christmas since I failed to post any and then a few from New Years and most recently playing in the snow!


One of our couple attempts to see Santa...Payton wasn't very fond of him this year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had!  Got to visit with both sides of the family and the most exciting part of it all is that Payton decided it was time to take on potty training!  All I can say is FINALLY!!  I have been waiting for this day to come for what seems like a little while now. :)  She has really turned a corner with this new found confidence.  Such a joy and we are SOOO proud of her!!  We are actually taking our celebration trip to Chucky Cheese next week!
Since I'm so bad about posting very often, I have several pics from our pumpkin patch visit in October that I wanted to share. Along with our trip to Atlantic Station and Cirque du soleil over Thanksgiving thanks to Gramma Long!  It was so wonderful seeing everyone.  Payton is really getting excited about Christmas this year.  She is learning more and more about it each day!  So, with that said....MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween everyone!  This was Payton's first year of really "trick or treating" and boy oh boy did she LOVE it!! Our neighborhood had a little Halloween parade before running off to collect candy.  My little lady bug is growing up so fast and had such a great time!
Here are a few pics from the evening...
