Christmas Eve









Now that Christmas Eve is finally here I am sooo excited for tomorrow!!! This is the first year James has really understood what Christmas is all about... When we put out our stockings James wants to leave a peanut butter and jelly out for Santa and cookies for baby Jesus. I am thankful that he knows Christmas isn't all about new toys and Santa! Boy is he excited about new toys though!! He is asking Santa for Stinky the Garbage truck, Buzz wings, John deere toys, and some new tools. Last night he decided that he really really needed an ambulance but we told him santa had already made all of his new toys.
These are a couple of pictures I took before Church last weekend...more Christmas pictures to come. We are going to church tonight in Bethel at 5 and then dinner at Gray's grandmother's house. Tomorrow we will wake up at home, open presents and head to Robersonville to Gray's parents house around 10. Lunch in Robersonville with Gray's other grandmother and then to Smithfield to spend Christmas night with my family. I am praying that everyone naps sometime during the day!
I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas Parades

Last Wed was the Robersonville Christmas parade. It was FREEZING but we toughed it out. James loves parades and is officially a candy snatcher!


Miller loved watching the parade also.. She looked so cute al bundled up.

Love this picture of James!



The Bethel parade was on Saturday. It wasn't as cold so it was much more enjoyable. The parade had so many animals, cars, and firetrucks. James loved it!


Gray joined us.. so happy he could come!





Our Elf Aiden

Meet Aiden our "Elf". James is loving having Aiden around and has been on his best behavior since he came to live with us. Hopefully Aiden will tell Santa all of the good things James has been doing and he will bring James all of the toys on his list!

Miller was really excited too!

Catching Up!

Miller is now 7 months old! She has finally learned to take long naps (2 a day 2-3hrs each) and is sleeping from 7:-7:30 - 7 in the morning. She is eating stage 2 baby foods and isn't picky at all. She has started to scoot backwards. She loves her big brother and he makes her laugh all the time! Mill'er's helmet has been a huge success. We had our 1 month follow up appointment yesterday and her measurments were great. She will only be in the helmet for 4 more weeks. I was preparing myself for 4 months, but thankfully her head has rounded itself out in 8 short weeks. This is the only picture I got of her on Thanksgiving.
FLORIDA TRIP
We took a 12 hour roadtrip to Tallahassee, FL the week before Thanksgiving to see my grandmother "B". It was the first time she got to meet Miller. Both kids did great in the car and now I know we can definitely do it again. We had a great time and it was so good to get away!
