christmas celebration 1

Gammie and Pops hosted an early Christmas at their house this year. We were leaving for Vegas Dec12-15 and Nita thought it would be good for the kids to have new toys before we left.  They do a scavenger hunt for gifts - it's always fun. My littles are beginning to figure it out!

photos for fun

we stopped to visit hunter the day we had gone to visit my mom.
my sister has a nice camera, and i was already retrieving pictures from the party so i decided to capture my kids again.  these are a few of my favorites, along with the three in the blog banner.  enjoy!

A.B.E. (our elf on the shelf)

Hunter and hannah were so excited to give this gift to our children! They made a special trip to the house, read the story to Braxton and then again to Ayla and Evie, helped us name him and help move him for the first time!
 the naming process...we went through many an option but finally all agreed on ABE
acronym for Ayla.Braxton.Evie
listening to the story


 ayla especially to a liking to finding abe each morning!
i would say she found him about 90% of the time.
just yesterday they saw a picture of abe on mawmaw's phone & got so excited screaming his name and laughing - it was precious.



thanksgiving

i am very thankful for my family & very thankful that these crazy times are slowly coming to an end.
it would be nice to be able to take a family photo!
 it would be nice to NOT have to watch, guard and entertain the little ones nonstop
 it would be nice to relax and spend LOTS of moments with my family that are more like this:

BUT, i am thankful for my little ones and all of their energy!  i am blessed.

family fun

i decided to get out of the house one day & it was my aunt's birthday.
so we crashed her party and stole mawmaw away for some fun.
 phil, pat, nanny, papaw, mom
 nanny (a twin herself) playing horsey with the girls
 braxton wanted to hunt & the girls wanted to search (evie insisted on being in her pajamas)
