Playing

Aunt Kara's gifts is this cool spinning thing. It's supposed to be for the two cars that came with it, but we put balls in it. I love watching the balls spin and try to grab them.

Christmas with Meermaw and Granddaddy

After we opened all Santa's gifts, Meermaw and Granddaddy came over. Then after we took a short nap, Uncle Bubba, Aunt Stacy, Kirsten and DJ came over and we all celebrated Christmas together with presents, food and fun!

I was really excited to open presents with Aunt Stacy! I was pulling the paper off and slapping the present with my hands (so excited!). It was fun!!

Present time!!

Kayla's up, I'm up, lets open presents!!

I had such a great morning! This was so much fun! I can't wait to play with all my new toys!

What are we waiting for?

Because I am ready - or I think there's something fun awaiting me (everyone around here seems excited at least). Oh, but my sister is not awake yet....

I can't wait up any longer...yawn...

Santa!!!

Look who came to our house last night!! Santa!!!

 Rupert even got in on the action. He loves Kayla's new skirt...

Homeward bound!

Time to leave Grandma's and head home to wait for Santa!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's

Merry Christmas Eve!! This morning we went to Grandma and Grandpa's. Uncle Bart, Aunt Kara, Zane, Annabeth, Lincoln and Fletcher were all there too.  We got to open presents!!! It was so much fun!  We then ate a big lunch, went to the lake and on a paddleboat ride (well, Uncle Bart took Kayla, Annabeth and Zane. I had to stay on the shore with mommy) and then played on the playground.  It was a great day!

Applesauce

Boy did I work up an appetite decorating the tree! :) OK, so mommy is still trying to get me to try solid foods. Today, applesauce!!! I ate a little, but I still like to stick my tongue out...

Decorating the tree!

Last night mommy, daddy, Kayla and I went to pick out a tree at a tree farm - it was cold! :) After Kayla picked out her favorite tree, we headed home. This morning we got up and started putting lights and balls all over it. It's so cool! I tried to help too...

Opryland Hotel

Today, mommy, daddy, Kayla and I went to the Opryland Hotel to look at the lights.  We met Robin, Noah and Nolan.  It was a lot of fun!!  We saw a huge tree:

 Then played a little:

And we even saw Shrek (yea, I don't know who he is either, but everyone else seemed pretty excited...)

Bumbo

I am sooooo close to sitting up on my own...until then, I love this Bumbo!

Lounging on daddy

Today daddy was rocking me and I was just lounging on my elbow.  See:

Wait, I got excited when mommy walked in the room...

 This is me lounging:

Santa

Today at church they had breakfast with Santa.  Kayla wouldn't sit on his lap (I don't know why, I thought he was very interesting. I really wanted to pull his beard...), so we all stood behind him.  I guess that was OK too....
