Merry Christmas!

Jay was off for Christmas this year, and we had so much fun getting to spend so much time with him! We went to Wynne on Christmas Eve-Eve to spend the night with Gram and Pop, and we did Christmas with them and Matt and Libby on Christmas Eve. We opened presents and stockings, and had a huge breakfast and lunch - so much fun! Thanks Gram and Pop! We came home that night, and spent Christmas Day at home with Brody. We played and relaxed all day and cooked steaks and pie for dinner - a fun new tradition!

We got to go see MarMar and Uncle George and the McFadden's when we got to Wynne as well. Here is Ley and Lathan

Brody is going to have a little sister!

We found out on Tuesday we are having a GIRL in April! It was a shock at first, but we are all getting excited! It will be different, but definitely a blessing! I can't wait to buy pretty pink outfits!

Last Saturday, we spent the day in Little Rock, and had the best time! First we went to the Wonder Place for Brianna's birthday. It is such a fun place, and Brody loved playing there the entire time! My camera ran out of batteries, so I didn't get too many pictures. After the party, we went by the mall and saw Santa! He waved at Brody and Brody enjoyed seeing him. We didn't wait in the line to sit on his lap, but Brody still was excited to see him. Then we went to the River Market downtown and had dinner at Boscos. Brody ate an entire kid's cheese pizza - he was starving! He was so good the entire day and we had so much fun!









Leslie with the birthday girl! She was so shy when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her! We had such a great time visiting with the Borden's and Lovell's and letting the kids all play together!

Playing before bed!

So thankful for this time...

I just wanted to post some pictures and say how thankful we are for this time in our lives. We have the sweetest, happiest little boy that is so much fun! We also have all of our parents still alive, and it is so much fun to watch them with Brody - he loves his Grandma and Papa and Gram and Pop! This holiday season has just been wonderful - not stressful, but lots of fun! Maybe it is because we don't have enough friends to be too busy with parties and gifts! Either way, we have really enjoyed it. Brody loves looking at the Christmas lights and Christmas trees. Hopefully we will get to see Santa this weekend!





Such a happy boy!!



We put a ponytail in his hair - I think he needs a haircut!!

We met Daddy for ice cream one day last week!

Brody loves turning on the fire with the remote control. He wants it on everyday, no matter how warm it is outside!

Last weekend we had our very good friends Adam and Leslie and Kara and Matt over for play and pizza. The kids had fun playing! We are going to miss Adam and Leslie when they move to Austin!

New socks from Ginger!



I can crawl up on the couch by myself now!

Just doing some reading!

Eating a Christmas cupcake - this adventure required a bath afterwards!
