Happy National Championship & a Big Roll Tide!!!

Big day for all, but especially in the Speyrer household since Alabama plays LSU tonight in the National Championship game. We are all very excited about the game. Daddy is in New Orleans having fun and will be going to the game tonight. Since he is away, the girls in the Speyrer house are able to show our true colors. Roll Tide!!!!

Both girls happy to be in their crimson and white this morning (Momma is also sporting her AL shirt). Interestingly enough, the year Kate was born Alabama won a National title. The shirt that Emily is wearing was one Kate received after that win. We are hoping that Emily is just as lucky as Kate and will see Alabama win another title in her first year.

Christmas in Alabama

We were in Florence this year for the long Christmas weekend. When we got in on Thursday the family gathered to celebrate Nonna's birthday. Then Friday morning we had our Christmas celebration. We had a fabulous big breakfast and exchanged gifts. Christmas Eve we all went to a children's mass with Nonna and then made a trip to see a big Christmas lights display at a house that I remember going to as a child. Kate loved it! We had a relaxing Christmas day at home with Nonna and Papa and then Granny and Jan joined us for a wonderful lunch and later that night we visited with Uncle Mike, Lauren, Jason, Michael and Beth. Our visit was perfect! We were so happy to get to see and visit with everyone! The girls had a blast and loved playing with all of their cousins!
