Merry Christmas!

Nathan had a fantastic Christmas and made off like a bandit in the toy department (if I do say so). We first had Christmas with my parents and grandparents the Saturday before. Then we packed up the mini-van and headed to Houston to spend the week with Aaron's family. We had so much fun in both places and were so thankful to be able to spend the holidays with both.

"All this paper for me?"

Nana & Grandpa gave Nathan this fantastic basketball goal!

And Grandpa found this great foam swords!

How thoughtful of Mimi & Papa to give me this great box! It could be the best toy yet.

But wait! the rocking horse that came in the box looks like a winner too!

Who knew toy wooden trains were so tasty!

Nathan and his great Granddaddy Davis

With these two in the house together it was rarely calm. Some things never change.

Baby Jail

As Aaron was peacefully sitting in his recliner one night, he started hearing the repeated call of, "Dada! Dada!" Curious to see what could get our little man so excited he turned the corner. There he found our proud child locked in Casey's crate, a feat that was incredibly amusing to him! So now we know where to put him if he's ever bad. Don't ever send your children to our house!And this picture? Well, I thought these were just darn cute pajama's and I couldn't help but take a picture!

Christmas is coming (rather slowly at our house)

Amongst the stomach flu, trips to the E.R. (yes, we are all finally much better, although Nathan never got sick - lucky guy!) we finally got around to buying a christmas tree! Nathan still doesn't understand christmas, but he loves the twinkly lights and having a live tree in our dining room (better known as Nathan's playroom). Now, if I can only find the energy to finish putting ornaments on it. I keep trying to tell myself that Nathan will just pull them off, so there is no need to put them up. But that won't work - a Christmas tree needs ornaments, otherwise I just killed a tree and put in my house for no reason.
