You found our Blog!!

Congratulations, you found our Blog! Apparently, this is a "modern" way of keeping up with friends and family both far and near. Perfect for the Okenica Family, since so many of our loved ones are miles away.

My last post was in October, so let me fill you in. . . . we celebrated Madeline's 7th birthday with a "High School Musical 2" birthday party. Lots of fun! Thanksgiving we were off to Georgia, stopping first in Atlanta to meet our dear friends', Brian and Rebekah (home from London for a visit), new baby Jonah. What a doll! (Good to see Brian and Rebekah too). We spent a fun day with the Dunbar family, enjoyed seeing baby Jake who is no longer a baby and his parents, Chris and Stacia. Our Atlanta visit concluded with a fabulous French Toast Breakfast at the Hayes house! Next stop, Lake Oconee! Where a mini birthday party for Madeline and Cameron was waiting for them with Grams and Papa Okenica. Nice chilly weather, a Motorcross Event, and more made for a great Thanksgiving!

December has already been busy, busy! Cameron turned 5 on December 7. We will celebrate with a party at Pump It Up this weekend. Last weekend, we had a great time in Athens, Georgia, for Matt's cousin Brian's wedding to beautiful Angela! It was so much fun and really a great event. Matt and I enjoyed seeing all the Okenicas while the children enjoyed a visit at Grandma and Grandpa Hayes' in Atlanta. They were treated to the Festival of Trees and a drive through the Festival of Lights at Lake Lanier Islands. What a fun weekend for ALL!

Happy Halloween!

Every year Miss Hollie (Madeline's dance teacher) has a fun filled Halloween party at her dance studio. This was Madeline and Cameron's 2nd year to attend, along with our good friend Gabriel Pfaffman.

Cameron was Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribbean, Madeline was SuperGirl and Gabriel was an Auburn football player. When we arrived and Madeline saw Gabriel in his uniform, she said to me "Mommy, I should have worn my Auburn cheerleading outfit tonight!" It was a really cute moment.

The children had an awesome time playing games, getting spooked in the Haunted House, and staying up late! The parents had a good time going to watch the Auburn/LSU game until halftime. . . not so good later when they lost on the last play of the game!

October

Lots of fun in October! The children have been really excited a visit from Aunt Annie (Debbie's sister) and Uncle Dean, a trip to St. Pete Beach, and of course more soccer.

Ann and Dean came through en route to a cruise (so lucky!) and stayed with us for a day. Unfortunately the children's soccer games were rained out that weekend, but we still had a great visit and plenty of play time!

That same weekend we took for a quick one day whirlwind visit to see the Cumbos in St. Petersburg Beach. It was great to visit and see how big Dylan (age 2 1/2) has gotten and to meet Miss Bailey (8 weeks at the time of our visit), who might be the best baby on the planet (and super cute too).

Madeline and Cameron had alot of fun playing in the Gulf and fishing off Mr. Bo's dock! We are looking forward to a return trip soon.
