Biltmore Estate - October '17

Last month during our Fall Break, we headed up to the mountains with Matt, Anna, Lilah, and Matthew. 

We took our very first visit to the Biltmore Estate: absolutely UNREAL!!

I just really can't get over the fact that this was someone's house. Geez.

Josh and Matt posing with a naked statue....typical:

That fireplace is bigger than my dining room.

I spy some little Nezlets (we found them across the way in one of the bajillion bedrooms):

The bowling alley......

The inground pool in the basement!!

Havind lunch in the horse stables: DELICIOUS!!

Until next time, Biltmore!!

We didn't take many pictures of our cabin 'cause we were too busy goofing off!!

Ya know, like making music with cups and whatnot....

And we TRIED to play some serious card games, but Matt just can't control himself....

But most of the time, we SnapChatted each other from across the room like mature adults should:

Such a fun little get-away with our fun little family!!

Cheers to the Biltmore (and to filthy-rich people that can afford to build such shenanigans)!!

Nora's 11th Birthday!!

Our Norabean turned 11 years old on September 22nd!! She opted for a small "Girl's Night" and sleepover with two of her best friends, McKenna & Bailey!! 

We first headed out to get our nails done on the square.....

We had dinner at Plates on the Square.....

.....then headed home for some onesies, cookie cake, and presents!!

Sweet gifts from sweet friends:

Our goofy, goofy girl. Always the life of the party:

I simply can't believe she's 11. A "pre-teen." Seems like yesterday she was our little fro-headed baby!

(This is the picture we submitted for the yearbook for her "5th grade memories." I'm sure she'll be THRILLED!! Fro on POINT!!)

So proud of all our girl is, and all she will continue to become!! She strives to put God first, and always make the right choice. 

Oh, and she's absolutely beautiful!!!

Cheers to our Nora-Bean the Pre-Teen!! Our love for you is indescribable!
