Dress Up

Ashlee got and early birthday present, dress up clothes to go with her tea set. She decided to put on a show instead.

New Years

We have some close family friends come over to celebrate New Years. We have been doing it now for 8 years. We eat finger foods, play games, and watch the ball drop.

Tea Party

Ashlee got a Tea Set for Christmas from Nanny (my grandmother). She made it for her.
The first thing Ashlee wanted to do was have a Tea Party with her Daddy. Ashlee invited her Uncle Clay, and Alex to join them. It was so cute!

Christmas Eve & Day

We had lots of fun and places to be. Lindsey's parents came early and stayed through Christmas this year. It was so nice to hangout and enjoy each other's company. Every year my family gets together on Christmas Eve and eat and exchange gifts. Then before we send the kids to bed they get to each open a present from us, new pj's, just a tradtion I decided to start a couple of years ago. Then they wake up to Santa and open those gifts and the gifts that Lindsey's parents brought. Then we head over to my parents to open more presents, and eat left over's for lunch. But this year when we got back home, we found more presents. A special Santa up were my in-laws live sent the kids some much need presents. The kids got gloves and hats, which have been put to good use this week! Thanks! And Thank you to all that helped make this a great Christmas!

Christmas Church Play

Ashlee and Bryson were in the Nativity Play at Church. Ashlee was an Angel and Bryson was Joseph.

Santa Greetings

The kids have seen Santa twice, and the Santa Cow from Chick-fil-A. It's so funny they tell me all the time that the Santa we see here is not the real one, he is at the North Pole. Kids are so cute! Alex is still not sure about Santa yet, maybe he will come around next year.

We first say Santa at Breakfast with Santa "early" Saturday morning. I noticed when I turned my camera on that my battery was low, of course, so I had to take quick shots of the kids.
And the wish list begins...



















Santa gives each kid an ornament to put on their tree. Ashlee loves her girly Snowman ornament.


















We went to Walmart after the Breakfast, and they had a Santa taking Free pics with the kids, so we took advantage of this. The guy playing Santa wasn't the best, but hey the kids had fun, and got candy after the pics.

I actually got Alex to sit on Santa's lap, yeah!













Ashlee insisted I take a pic with her and Santa, I didn't look the best that day, I had been up since 6:45am, so I was sooo tired, but I was a nice mommy and took the pic any way.














The night before all that happened we went to Chick-fil-A and took a Free pic with the Santa Cow, and Elf Cow. The kids thought they were so funny! We had some friends meet us there and we had a great time!






Now all we have left to do is wait for Santa to bring all the things he promised them, lol! Oh to be a kid again!

Halloween

So Halloween has come and gone another year. It was a busy one! We went to a Trunk r Treat Wednesday,
Fall Festival Thursday, and went to a party Saturday then attempted to trick r treat when it wasn't raining! It was yucky cold weather. I think the kids had the most fun just get dressed up in their costumes! :)

Alex was a Clown this year! Perfect for his personality!

Ashlee was Daphne from Scooby Doo!

Bryson was Captian Rex from Star Wars!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween this year, and now it's off to Thanksgiving then Christmas. I am going to have Happy Holidays this year, and hope for no drama! Happy Holidays Everyone!
