One Last Christmas Get Together...


Christmas night, we got together with Mr. Swain, Lisa, Al, and Katlyn and grilled hamburgers and hotdogs....And then exchanged a few gifts. We always love being with them...Just like family!

Rhett getting ready to tear into it


Somebody got a sucker...LOL


Lee-Lee and Al...Lovebirds...LOL!!!


Silly Kids



I didn't get a picture of it, but Lee Lee, Mr. Al, and K.K. got Rhett the movie "Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas" or as Rhett calls it "the movie where Pluto knocks down the tree"...LOL! This has been his favorite movie ever...I believe he would watch it over and over if you'd let him!

Cousins on Christmas

Feeding Lacey some peanuts


Tickle, Tickle


Are they not the CUTEST?!


Christmas Morning

This is what our living room looked like before Rhett found it...Spoiled much??!!



We had big plans of recording Rhett as he walked into the living room to find his stash, but as Brandon and I were sawing logs, Rhett came scooting into our room and said "Hey Mama, I've just been in here scootin' around on my new scooter....Who left all those presents?" So much for that idea!LOL!

This signs fit's Rhett PERFECT!


And another tractor


And MICKEY...Which he now sleeps with every night!


This one just spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E (Yes, that would be a bb gun..And no, he will not be playing with it unattended)


A MMC nightlight was in his stocking


It was raining and cold, so he just rode his bike through the house



"Hold on Mama, I gotta take this call." LOL!



Mama (aka scary woman with no makeup..LOL) and her little man


Train time


We finally couldn't take it anymore and headed outside to try out the bike and scooter



Our Christmas was Blessed beyond measure and one of my favorite parts was that Rhett fully understood that this day wasn't just about presents, but about a baby that was born to save us from our sins. We sang Happy Birthday To Jesus...and he told us several times that day that today was Jesus's Birthday. Talk about make a Mama proud!

Christmas Eve Party at Memaw's

My sister Kimberly, her husband Ben, and their sweet daughter Lacey were able to be with us this year for Christmas and it was SUCH a blessing!

Our attempt at some group pictures went like this:

Take One (Payton wasn't sure she even wanted to participate it this point, so it was just Lacey and Rhett...What a face!LOL)


After many attempts, I think this is the best I got with my camera.


There's that sweet smile!


Awww...So sweet!


After Payton warmed up to the idea, we tried again...This is the best I got. No smiles, but they are all looking at the camera at least!LOL! (And yes, I could have wiped my kid's face before we started...Sheesh!LOL!)


Family pic...Surprising again, we're all looking at the camera!


Somebody got a train...Which he is in LOVE with by the way!


Mama and Daddy got a "deer camera"...LOL


The chaos, but such sweet chaos it was!


And Rhett got a firetruck too...And LOVES it! We love it because it is actually one of his more quiet toys!LOL!


Lacey Kay LOVES her Uncle Brandon


Memaw, me, and my precious niece...Sure do love those two!

Ice Cream and Christmas Lights

That just sounded like a good idea tonight! So, we loaded up and hit Bruster's...Then headed out to look at Christmas lights! These are the kind of nights I love!

A Good Day To Make A Gingerbread House

First he painted his house


Then he squeezed out the rest of the icing for glue for the goodies :)


Then the fun began...He ate as much if the candy as he put on the house!






A few spinkles to finish it up


And Ta-Da...He was so proud of his house that he refuses to eat and won't let us touch it! LOL!

Christmas Program at Church

Today we had our Christmas program at church and Rhett actually did a solo of his song, "Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star"! He did great...We were SO proud! Check out that huge piece of gum in his mouth...That is called "bribery"...LOL! And the shirt, yeah it was tucked in...For all of about 2.5 seconds!LOL!


Christmas with GrandDaddy and the Gang

Digging into the presents


Rhett got a Nerf Gun...Look OUT!!!LOL!


Baylie showing off her new lip gloss


All the guys got pretty into the gun...Imagine that?!


And yes, I am the favorite target!LOL!


Takin' a break and watchin' some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
