Christmas...

Merry Christmas!!!

Around the House...

Watson had his own mini tree in his room this year.  He got to pick out the ornaments he wanted to use and helped me decorate his tree.

Christmas at The Club...

Mom and Dad took Me, Melanie, Abby and Watson to The Club for dinner and pictures with Santa.  It was SUCH a fun night and such a treat to spend some special time with the older kids! 

They are truly the sweetest of friends...

My beautiful mom!

Family pic with Santa :)

Love these two women more than I can say!

Beyond thankful for this sweet boy and the relationship God has blessed us with.

Abby was tearing up the dance floor the minute the music started!  She eventually got Watson out there with her.  I loved watching our timid (in public) boy let loose and dance!

Blessed by these two.

Love him.

Best parents in the world.

Christmas Eve...
This actually wasn't Christmas Eve...it was a few days before :)  We had a great time celebrating with my dad's side of the family.

Christmas morning...We spent the night at mom and dad's house on Christmas Eve and then had lunch with the whole family on Christmas Day.  I truly cherish times with my whole family together!

 

December...

Most of my pictures from December are from Christmas or Christmas related events, so those will be in my next post.  I've also realized that my monthly posts are turning out to be mainly just Watson...but that's because all of Emma's pictures are in her month to month posts!

Said right before taking this picture: "Mommy I play on da pooter"

I told W he could bring a toy with him in the car.  Next thing I know I hear him breathing hard struggling to get to the garage...with this drum set.  The car ride consisted of him banging on the drums and singing "Jingle Bells."  This boy...I love him so!

We paint, a lot, in this house.  It often leads straight to a bath because W's favorite thing is to paint his hands and make hand prints on the paper.

So this isn't the greatest picture, but it's the only one I have from this night!  Graham and I had a party the night of the SEC Championship game.  We ended up having it at my parents since their house could hold everyone much more comfortably than ours :)  Dad loved having a house full of Auburn fans, though!

While waiting in line to see Santa, we ran into Melanie, Catherine and Russ.  Watson and Catherine decided to take a trip down to the toy store to pass some time.  Holding hands, of course :)

We went to look at Christmas lights one night..Watson LOVED doing this!  I am writing this post at the end of January and he STILL says "More lights Mommy!  I want more lights!" when we are in the car at night.  Before going out we stopped by Starbucks for some coffee for us and a cake pop for Watson.

 No words for this one...

When it's cold outside I have to get creative on entertaining the kiddos...but sometimes they entertain themselves with the simplest of things...like sitting in a laundry basket together?! 

Cow-licks galore!

Coloring with his new favorite..."Sarpies"

I was able to go to Childrens Hospital with my sweet Hampton for one of his Speech Therapy appointments.  Sweet Bug had a swallow study done this month and unfortunately did not pass :(  We are praying so much for some answers for this precious boy.  If you are reading this, please take a moment to say a prayer for healing over him!

November...

November is always one of my favorite months!  It's the beginning of the holidays, the weather is cooler, and there is always lots of time with all of my family together...which I would not trade for anything in this world.  Here's a recap of November...

Watson...always a ham..even with an eye infection at the doctor...

 These three are trouble together!  We went to the park one day, but it was FREEEEZING...so they played in Mel's car instead and were perfectly entertained :)

Watson's favorite part of Jason's Deli...

W is all about playing in Emma's exersaucer...he thinks it's hilarious when he climbs in there.  "Mommy, wook at me!  Wook at me!"

Emma and I went to see sweet Abby in her Thanksgiving program at Covenant.  She did so good and was so proud and excited to show us around her classroom!

This boy...for real....hilarious!  We asked him to smile for a picture and he immediately laid down and did this...

Again..."Wook at me Mommy!" Nut :)

 
And again...


We went to dinner one night with Kerri and her family.  Kerri is one of my best and longest friends...her little girl, Alli, was really turning up the flirt with Watson...he wasn't sure what to think of it!  It is so fun watching our kids grow up together!

Mr. Handsome.

Every night = Daddy/Watson wrestle time...getting nice and tired before bedtime!

For Thanksgiving this year, Graham and I had planned on going to Oklahoma.  However, due to him just taking a new job, we decided it would be best to stay here in town.  My family was out of town, so it was just the four of us!  It was actually really special.  We started the morning visiting my sweet Dabado.  It is always such a special moment for me to see Watson and Emma with my Dabado.  After visiting him, we went to Cracker Barrel with our friends, The Barnetts, and then had dinner with my aunt and cousins that night at her house.  Such a fun day!
