Christmas 2009

I know it is January, but better late than never!!

Our gourmet Christmas lunch...Chicken nuggets, cheese, and cupcakes to celebrate the Best Birth Ever!! Thank you God for your gift to us..

We were in Hattiesburg for 4 days, drove in for Christmas Eve with John's family, ans so Christmas day was just our little family.




















Caroline and her gift from Santa...a vacuum/dust buster 2 in 1. This girl loves to clean. We didn't take too many picture Christmas morning. I have John a flip video recorder so we used that. Plus my picture taking skills/camera are not good. All my pics are very blurry. But...good news is...I got a new camera. I am kind of scared of it...but I am learning how to use it. It take really good pictures, so hopefully our pics will get much better.











The kids putting out cookies for Santa. This is the best I got. Thomas also put our reindeer food. He chose ham and an apple...yummy!!











I did take some pictures from Christmas at CC's but they were all very dark and blurry. Here are the two playing in Caroline's new doll house she got at CC and Poppie's. Notice the wings...they are still on. He really loves Buzz!










Yes this is my family....The men got these great Christmas t-shirts in their stocking. John's says Merry Christmas from the street....Sesame Street that is. I think Chad's is my favorite...t-shirt that is suppose to look like a Christmas sweater visit. Thomas is wearing his new Buzz wings!























I think this picture is cute because they are both looking at each other, smiling. This is Caroline's favorite spot at my mom and dad's..the bar..where she eats!!










Our family












There is this great place ( really someone's house) in Purvis that has all these lights. You park, get out, and walk through this trail of Christmas decor. One side celebrates the birth of Jesus and the other side has Christmas characters. If you are ever down that way ( Purvis is about 20 minutes from Hattiesburg) you should go. It is great!!!

Thomas had his school Christmas party this morning. Caroline had the best time. Look at her at the table with the rest of his friends. Her eyes kept getting bigger and bigger as they brought all the treats around. You see those christmas tree cake pops...they are so good. Bakerella has made them very popular. I caught Caroline trying to eat her third one! She loves to eat!!






Thomas in front of the really neat tree at our church.

More Christmas Pics

We went to Canton to see the lights, rooms of stuff, and of course drive the cars!

Going To See The Big Guy

Here are some pics of us going to see "the big guy", as Thomas calls him, last week at Bass Pro.











Somebody loves her daddy!!!!













Sorry I didn't flip the pictures. You notice lambie got to come. He came last year to visit.












Look at his face trying to drive the remote control car!

This is Thomas beside his Christmas tree. He decorated it. This year, I put up our big tree in the den with no ornaments and let the kids have their tree in the kitchen. Thomas decorated it and Caroline takes the ornaments off the tree and breaks them. So we only have a few. But, it does look better than it did in this picture. I got some colored lights for it. Caroline has only pulled it over on herself twice...so we are making some progress. They love the trees, the lights outside, and our blow up Santa. Kids really do add JOY to the Christmas spirit.
Yes Thomas is wearing his MSU shirt. We went to the game....all 4 of us and they did really good. There was a man by us that had the largest and loudest cowboy I have ever seen. He let Thomas ring it...and that made him happy. Thomas has really gotten in to football. He wants to know who everyone is?...you know bulldog, rebel, Alabama crimson tide, Florida gator. Saturday was a happy day for us!


On the night before the big game, we went to Calera, Al to ride the Polar Express to the North Pole. The kids had fun. Thomas got teased and speechless when Santa came by. Caroline got wild on the chocolate milk. These pics were taken outside waiting for the Train. My camera died on the train...but I think John actually got some pictures.
