Christmas

Our Christmas vacation started out a little bit rough. Will got sick with RSV and then had a stomach bug. Then I got the stomach bug and then Len got it. We went on to give it to my sister, my nephew, mom and dad! We spent Christmas in Montgomery but Santa came to our house first. Will got a new train table and we thought he would love it because he loves the one at Davis Kidd and Pottery Barn Kids but he hasn't shown as much interest. "Santa" sat it up with the tracks just like the picture and Will tore all of it down. We had a great time in Montgomery even though everyone got sick. Will had so much fun playing with his cousins and he got to see his Uncle Edward. This was his first Christmas with us in three years. He's been in Iraq the last two years. Will got lots of fun toys to play with. His cousins gave him a shopping cart and he and Ann Welch fought over it. He loved Ann Welch and kept wanting to give her kisses and hug her. It was so cute. Here are a few pictures of Will over Christmas.

Will and Uncle Edward. He doesn't want anyone to hold him except for me and Len these days so we didn't get much of a break over Christmas.

Christmas morning opening presents.


Ward, Heather, Gage and Davis are here for New Years. We've had so much fun. We went to visit Len's grandmom who is almost 97! She called all of her great grandchildren "its." We also went to the Rainforest Cafe and we will be celebrating New Year's Eve tonight. I'll post pictures of that when I upload them onto the computer. Will has had so much fun playing with Gage and Davis. He is going to be so sad when they leave and life is boring again.

Making a Gingerbread House

We went to a birthday party this morning and made gingerbread houses but Will kept eating everything when we would put it on the house! He had fun making it though. I don't think it would win any awards but it looked good to eat.


Breakfast with Santa

As you can see, Will didn't like getting his picture with Santa!

These are some of my friends from our Sunday school class.

Sitting in front of the tree

Trying to get a picture taken for your Christmas card is pretty much impossible if you have a busy toddler. I'm starting to realize that Will isn't as laid back as I originally thought. He will not sit still for a minute! He has already thrown and broken six of our ornaments (at least they're the cheap ones) and now we only have a half decorated tree because we had to move all the ornaments out of his reach. We have tried to take his Christmas picture so many times that it is starting to ruin our Christmas so if you think the picture we send is terrible, just know that our marriage was practically on the line when we were trying to get the picture. ha ha The picture doesn't have to be perfect, I just want one that captures Will the way I see him and we haven't been able to get one. Our camera has a delay and by the time Will does finally smile, the camera won't take.


We couldn't use this one because he's shooting the bird.

A Few New Pics

One of my favorite pictures.

Trying to get a decent picture for our Christmas cards. This was over two weeks ago and we just got a picture today.
