Family Christmas 2012

We have chosen not to do 'Santa Claus' with our kids, but that doesn't mean they miss out on our Christmas morning! We still all got more than we deserve are very grateful for it. Just look at their loot!

The kids each had their own pile and we also got a Wii for our family to enjoy together. I think this will bring us lots of laughs as we spend time together.

Even Dawson was all smiles on our Christmas morning!

I just want to soak up these sweet faces and memories with our children. They go by way to fast and too many times we get caught up into the busyness of life.

Lord, please help us to make the most of each moment we are given.

Of course we had to make some of Emma Claire's Dippin' Dots to try!

Because we travel home for Christmas we do our family Christmas the Saturday before we leave so the kids can enjoy their toys before we go home. We had a wonderful day spending time together and remembering what the ultimate gift was on Christmas. The Messiah had finally come to be the Savior of the world!

**Thank you RaRa and PePaw for helping us make this a wonderful Christmas for our kids!

Dawson Fun Fact

Tonight at Holly Grove's Christmas Program Dawson laughed out loud at his Mommy!

I had him laying in my lap as they were singing and was clapping his hands to the beat of the music. As the beat got faster I clapped his hands faster. He thought it was so funny and a little giggled popped out!

Can't wait to hear more of these! Sweet boy.

Emma Claire's Christmas Program 2012

Get ready for Emma Claire picture overload! This is her last EVER Christmas Program at LLLC and it makes my heart so sad. She has been at Little Lambs since she was 6 weeks old and they have helped shaped her into the wonderful person she is.

Her kindergarten class helped lead the 3 and 4 year old programs. Up first was the 3 year old program.

Click Here to watch a couple videos of her in action.

This year she LOVED being on stage. After every song this is the expression we would get from her...

Dawson was my program watching buddy!

Next up was the 4 year old program. Here comes by beautiful angel marching in from the back!

After every song she gave this curtsy and bow. Very much a princess she is. She said she had to marry a boy named 'Prince' so that she could be a princess. ; )

We love our ANGEL!!!!

Camp's Christmas Program

This year Camp's class decided to have their Christmas program just for their class. It was perfect. It was just a small program where they were all the stars! : )

I tried to hide behind the person in front of me because I wasn't sure how Camp would do if he knew I was there. I wasn't dissappointed in his performance at all! He was 'that' kid who sang every word really hard and loud. ; )

 Love this boy! As soon as he sang the last song he yelled 'time to eat cupcakes!!!!' He was so proud. : )

Christmas Angels

Mom had asked me to take pictures of the kids to put in the Christmas Angels section of the Daily Corinthian in Corinth. When you can't get a great picture of all of them you take the best of each and paste them together! : )

Early Christmas Present

Because we will be traveling with three kiddos this year we won't have much room to bring back Christmas gifts. SO, my mom and dad had one of my Christmas presents sent here instead.

Yes, it's a Keurig. Yes, it's AmAzInG! And yes, I just frothed my own milk and made myself a vanilla latte.

It's the perfect gift for this busy momma!!

Thanks RaRa and PePaw!

This is how you have to shop with 3 littles.....

Alabama/Georgia Game

On Saturday night we were invited over to a friends house to watch the Alabama/Georgia game for the SEC title. For whatever reason there are tons of Georgia fans here at Southeastern and we are the more lone Alabama fans.

That was no exception for this football game get together. Everyone was a Georgia fan except for us! Benjamin said we had to represent well, so of course, we all went decked out in Alabama. He even found a scarf for me to wear! ; )

Check out Dawson's cute onesie thanks to my cousin, Chelsey!

I have to admit I don't pay a lot attention to the game because I enjoy catching up with friends and am busy watching our kiddos. BUT, can you tell from the look on their faces that this was a VERY serious game?! : )

Larry and Benjamin are hardcore! It's not fun and games. It's win or lose. (Just kidding. Their great friends and there is probably nobody else he would rather watch the game with! : )

Right: The picture on the right is of the final seconds of the game. Georgia had a chance to win the game but missed it in the last seconds. Larry looks like he is going to blow!

When you're biting your lip it's serious stuff. I snapped this picture as Georgia is making their last play.

I don't know all the details but I do know that Alabama won 32 to 28 and will be playing Notre Dame for the BCS Championship. I guess I should say...... ROLL TIDE????

Right: All smiles from the lone Alabama fans!
