Anniston's Christmas Program 2011

Anniston had her Christmas Program at her pre-k. She was an angel, and she was so excited that she got to be an angel with her bestie, Nila!

This was her beaming as she was done with her performance. She looked beyond Mommy and Dadoo to see her favorites: PawPaw, Nanny, MaMa, and PaPa!

Anniston, you did such a great job! We are so proud of you. You will always be a sweet angel to us! Love, Mommy and Dadoo

Treyson's Thanksgiving Program

This year, Treyson's preschool had a Thanksgiving program because squeezing in a Christmas program at the church was getting hectic. I really enjoyed it, but I know that the grandparents sure missed the Christmas Program! Here was our little Indian in the middle (in a sweater vest) and his part was "Big and Brave!" (as he flexed his muscles--perfect part for T-Man!So proud of our little Indian!
Here is the tea towel he made us! Love this!
Way to go Treyson! We are so proud of you! We love you :), Mommy and Dadoo

Girls Weekend!

Well, Jerry and T-Man left yesterday for the Cotton Bowl. Jerry surprised him at preschool and told him right then that they were headed to the Cotton Bowl in .....California?

So what does that mean for us girls? A slumber party and a date day! After picking Anniston up from pre-k, I asked her what she wanted to do. She wanted to go to the gym (the kids LOVE the "kids fit" classes that are offered and the fact that our cousin's girlfriend is the teacher), and then eat ice cream. . . so that's exactly what we did! Then we came home, showered, and had a slumber party in Mommy and Dadoo's bed. Mommy felt like singing the song "roll over, roll over...so they all rolled over and one fell out, there was one in the bed and the little one said...."

The plan for our date day? Going to the park this morning so that Anniston can ride and I can run behind her. She's gotten so fast, so this will be great exercise for us both! Then we'll come home, get cleaned up, and go get our nails done. Then I'm sure Anniston will pick somewhere to go out to lunch. Then we'll be ready for ballet class this afternoon.

Love cherishing nights/days like these. Love this sweet girl SO MUCH!

My nephews

So, I stole this picture from my sister in law. Seriously, can these two get any cuter? I can't stand that I haven't seen them in 4 whole weeks! Definitely making the January "to do" list is going to be a day trip to see these cutie-pa-tooties!!

MaMa and PaPa's Christmas card pic!

We took MaMa and PaPa's Christmas card pic at Thanksgiving since the newest cousins, Calvin and Caleb, were in town. Getting 7 grandkids to smile/look towards camera can be difficult, but these kiddos did AWESOME! What a great picture!

Christmas at MaMa and PaPa's!

We celebrated Christmas with MaMa and PaPa on Christmas eve morning. We had a yummy breakfast first, listened to the reading passage from the Bible about the night that Jesus was born, then opened our presents.

Treyson is getting good at ripping into presents!
This face = PURE HAPPINESS! He has realized at this point that there is a set of REAL shoulder pads in this bag....doesn't get much better than this for our little man! Thank you Uncle Scott and Aunt Courtney!

We found something that would fit over his shoulder pads...Dadoo's new Razorback polo!
This is MaMa trying to act surprised about a gift we gave her that she knew about since we were shopping together! HA!
Leap Pad = Anniston's latest addiction....I think we're going to have to put time restrictions on this thing. Anniston has never done TV, computers, or video games. This thing put her in a trance--an educational one, at least!
What goes great with shoulder pads? Boxing gloves! And every football playing boxer needs a sweat band because that will definitely be a workout!
Two cousins consumed by their new electronics!
Well, the boxer switched to a football playing Star Wars character!
Thank you MaMa and PaPa for a wonderful Christmas celebration! We love you!

Christmas morning!

Santa came to see us Christmas morning! We must have been very good boys and girls around here ;)

Here's the pile that Santa left for Anniston
And here is Treyson's pile
....plus he left this for Treyson!
All Anniston wanted was a Bitty Baby (the baby from the American girl collection). She was BESIDE herself when she saw it! She even got a matching diaper bag with supplies!
Somebody is excited about the M&M's Santa left him!
Lovin his train! He's played with it alot the past 2 days (I'm actually surprised considering he's mostly a "ball" kind of kid!)


Merry Christmas!
