Happy Birthday, Abigail!

This year, for Abigail's birthday, she wanted a trip to the American Girl Doll store in Atlanta. While there, she got her first "big" American Girl Doll. (She already had a Bitty Baby, but now she got one of the historical figures). She chose Kit from the Great Depression. When we returned home, she had a family birthday party, complete with cupcakes and ice cream of course.

North Georgia Trip

Annually, we take our kids to pick apples and do other activities in the Ellijay, Georgia area. This year, the whole McMillan family went. We had a wonderful time. The first day, it rained, so after a LOT of begging, I convinced my wonderful husband to go with us to Babyland General Hospital, where Cabbage Patch dolls are "born." They have built a new building since I was there in college (with my favorite Wesleyanne, Amy-Chris). Here are some pictures.....
Proof that the boys went to the Patch....




We also enjoyed our visit to the pumpkin patch...




And then, there was the hike...


And, don't forget the apples....

Peeking in at our School

I thought some of you may enjoy a "peek" into our school days. So, here is something that will amuse you. If you know me well, you know I am a "city" girl. However, I am married to an "educated redneck" (as my brother has called him). He has decided to raise chickens (which is probably a whole blog entry on its own). Here are our baby chicks and the kids making butter during a study on pioneers. Really??? What have I become? To top it off, we attended the Ag Expo here in Moultrie. Oh me, oh my!









All this makes a family tired!!!
