Christmas 2010

This year Christmas was celebrated several times. We had our first Christmas at Thanksgiving with Daddy's side of the family. We open presents from immediate family on Tuesday night (Dec 20th) because we would be out of town with Mommy's side of the family on Christmas. I enjoyed this because Christmas seemed to last forever and I got to open lots of presents! However, Mommy and Daddy say that next year we will make it a point to spend Christmas Eve at our house so Santa can visit here.

As usual, Mom did not do such a great job with taking pictures, but here are a few to enjoy:

Christmas at our house:


Will's favorite part - eating the wrapping paper!


Nora opening one of her presents


Christmas with Mimi and Poppy:


Cooking with Mimi


Visiting with Mawmaw and Pawpaw



Will and I loved our laptops from Uncle Lee and Aunt Terri Lyn:




Even Daddy and Aunt Jessica are fascinated


Santa Came!!


My bicycle from Santa


Will's Tigger from Santa (I think I liked it more than Will)


I love the Grinch and Max from Mimi


I love my cute hat from Aunt Katherine

Overall, we had a really great Christmas. We loved seeing all our family and eating yummy food. We got lots of great presents. I know I can't wait to do it again next year. I was very sad when Mommy was taking down the Christmas tree today. But she told me that coming soon was my birthday! So now I have something to look forward to!

Excited for Christmas!

I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year. I can't wait to open all the presents, I ask all the time if it is Christmas yet!

Mom made me this Christmas Tutu. I really did not want to wear it for the pictures but Mom made me. This is the best we could get.


Will looks really cute in his new elf hat!


Will couldn't wait to open Christmas presents. Mom left the room for just a second and came back in to find that Will had unwrapped the present. Doesn't he look pleased with himself?


I like to pretend that I'm a dog a lot! Here I am with my best friend Luna, being a dog.


My cousin, Miles, came to visit this past weekend and we had a great time. Don't we both look great in our tutus?


Mom and Dad took us to a park on Sunday. I'm apparently over my fear of slide. I went down the big slide all by myself (several times)!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Visiting Santa! Nora always says she wants a Bike, a car, and a Train. We'll see what Santa brings her...

and a couple of new pictures of Will:


Will has a tooth! Yay!

He fell asleep while eating one night. It was too cute!

He'll be 7 months old tomorrow (time flies!) and has the army crawl down. He's trying to do a real crawl too - he gets up on his knees and rocks, so I'm sure he'll have it figured out soon. I'll try to get a video of this up soon.

Catching up

We've had a lot going on since we last posted! Right before Halloween, Mommy fell and sprained her ankle really bad. She was on crutches for a week but thankfully is now able to walk on it! It made for a very interesting week!

Here are some pictures from Halloween. Since Mommy was hurt she did not get to take me trick or treating. Daddy stepped in though and walked me all around the neighborhood and I got lots of candy!

We went to Mountain Home last weekend for cousin Miles' 2nd birthday party! It was lots of fun!

Riding a miniature horse!

This was my favorite activity! I did rode the bouncing horse almost the whole time!

The birthday boy blowing out his candles

Cake and Ice Cream! Yum!

Will hanging out with Grandma

On Sunday, I got another haircut - this time a little shorter! It looks too cute!

After (I didn't want to cooperate to get my picture taken)

Monday, Will had his 6 month check up. He continues to be a big boy! He weighed 21 lbs (90%) and was 27.75 inches long (95%). He got lots of shots but has handled them very well! He's doing great!

Look how big we are!

First off, Aunt Emily and Cousin Miles came to see us a couple of weeks ago! It was the first time they have gotten to see Will. We were a little sick that weekend but still enjoyed our visit! We'll get to see them again next weekend at Miles's 2nd birthday party.


Do you think Miles can't believe how big Will is?

The weather has been nice for the most part up here so we are trying to take advantage and spend some time outdoors. Will and I played in the front yard while Mom pulled up some weeds.

Look at Will - he can sit up now!

Will was very interested in the leaves.

It was only a high of 59 today so we were able to wear some of our warm clothes!

And just because Mom thinks its funny. Here are some pictures of Will and I sleeping in unusual places:

I fell asleep while watching my movie

Will fell asleep in his bumbo. Don't worry, Mom moved him to the bed after taking this picture.

Quick Weekend with Mimi and Poppy

[There are 2 posts today so keep scrolling]

So last weekend we got to go see my Mimi and Poppy along with lots of other family and friends! Somehow we did not manage to get a picture with Aunt Katherine even though she drove all the way in from Texas. It was a pretty busy weekend.

We started out Friday night by going to visit some friends that we haven't seen in a long time! Its so good to be back home! We took a picture of all the kiddos.

Here we are in March of 2009:


and here we are September 2010:

Boy have we grown!

Here is Will next to Alisa's baby, Gavin. Can you tell who is older?


Gavin is 2 months older then Will!

On Saturday, we spent the morning at a Car show with Poppy. We can't wait to see his old car there one day!


That afternoon we went to the fair and looked at the animals, rode some rides, and played a game! I had lots of fun at my first trip to the fair!

Riding the Merry-go-round with Mimi


I rode in the cars all by myself!


I won a giant blow up scooby doo picking up ducks!
