Christmas 2012

We are so blessed.  We had a wonderful Christmas with our awesome family.


I don't know that Hunter & Haley have been this good but it sure is fun to spoil them on Christmas.


They still have cute & excited faces on Christmas morning.

Everything Hunter asked for this year was baseball related.

Haley loved her boots.



We had our traditional yummy Christmas breakfast.  Deer tenderloin, scrambled eggs with cheese & biscuits.

We went to celebrate with mawmaw at her house.  She loved her calendar with the kids pictures.

She also loved her Kuerig single cup coffee maker.

Mawmaw knows Haley well.  She got her new art supplies. 


Mawmaw got the kids a new computer.  They were very excited.

We then headed to mamaw Carole's.  Izzy enjoyed her lunch sitting by aunt ZigZig.

All the little boys decided to attack Hunter.

Carter attacking Hunter

Hunter decided to fight back.  He pinned Carter down and tickled him.

Grandad didn't think it was fair so he attacked Hunter.  You can see Hannah going to help Hunter.

Then she decided to tackle him.

Look at this sweet face!  Charlie was just laying in the floor waiting to open presents.

I love these sweet girls.  Izzy can't get enough of Haley these days and Haley wouldn't have it any other way.

My mom is the most generous person I know.  She always fills a giant stocking with little personal gifts for wrapped everybody.  She starts shopping the day after Christmas for these gifts.  This year there were two huge stockings. 

Of course a highlight of the day is the paper war. 

Look at those smiles.
 My sweet mamaw.

Just Dance 4 party!  The girls were dancing to One Direction.



A rare moment with these two smiling for a picture.

Beautiful ladies.

This year we had an unusual break in the day.  We headed home for a little Christmas nap.  It was raining and cold which made napping even nicer.

After our nap we headed to Amy's for our Christmas. 

These two are my world.
 I am so blessed to have this family.  I thank God for them everyday.

Present time.  As usual mamaw outdid herself.
 And all of the kids were thrilled.

Uncle Chad got the boys fire department shirts.


Mamaw got Hunter a Florida State blanket.  He loved it.

Charlie was so excited about his Skylanders.  I wish I had been videoing.  His expression was priceless.





Dad got scratch off lottery tickets.  It was hilarious watching him scratch them off.  He did win $40.  Mom didn't win anything.  LOL


Hannah has been sick and was not in the mood to try on her new coat.  She is trying her best to take it off.

Carter is so excited about his new scooter.  He didn't want to wait for it to charge.

And another Just Dance 4 party.

Laughing at the Just Dance 4 party.

Haley & Beau are serious gamers!


One thing I love about Christmas is I get to spend a lot of time with my best friend!!!

Izzy really got into the dance party this year.  I have to say she is really good at it. 

This sweet little girl can melt your heart with just a smile.  


Mamaw made one happy girl when she went to Jared!  Haley got a Pandora bracelet from my mom & dad.



Hannah dancing.


The boys played a little xbox in between dances.

I love my family and the time we spend together.  I know I have said it before but I feel very blessed to have them in my life.

Merry Christmas!

Random Blog to catch up

I have many random photos from the last few weeks so I am compiling them into one random blog.

Haley started competitive volleyball at Memphis Metro.


Basketball for Hunter and AMS is in full swing.





 We have been meeting Rob for dinner on Friday nights.


Mom ran & finished the St. Jude Half Marathon.  Yes she did 13.1 miles and we are so proud of her!!




Rob played in the poker fundraiser for Hunter's baseball team.  He finished 4th.  Not bad for someone who never plays.  =)




Haley had the flu.  She was pitiful.

Christmas is here.  We haven't decorated much and only put up the little tree because we are moving in a few weeks.

Christmas dinner at church.
Butch & Izzy


Grandad & his youngest grandson

I love these silly people!!

My baby girl was feeling better.  She still didn't eat anything but she enjoyed being out of the house.
  Double Trouble!

Haley had her choir concert.  She did great.  I am proud of her.  In the picture below she is the 2nd from the right on the 2nd row from the top.

Hunter got to the concert for the last few songs.  I love when these two are sweet to each other.

Haley's cheering section.  Daddy had to work but I texted him pictures and videoed Haley singing.

Jonah & Carter are so funny to be around.   They were playing while we waited to pick up the big kids from school.

My silly girl playing around.  I am so glad she was feeling better!

Haley is such a little fashion person.  She must get her style from her daddy because he has style.  Her momma is fashion illiterate.

I can't believe these two boys are 13 years old.  Where has the time gone???


Carter needed in a picture with the big boys.



Now we are ready for Christmas posts!





Nephews Football

We tried to go watch the boys play every Sat.  They have had a great season.

Ou little super star.  Hannah has such a hilarious personality.  She is very opinionated.
