Breakfast with Santa

These are the only pictures I took at Breakfast with Santa this year. My kids were in horrible moods and we ate, filled our bags with the crafts, didn't get our picture taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and high tailed it out of there.

 

Watching Mr. Walt read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

 

Do you see the big hole in Will's hair? That would be my fault. I was trimming his hair and decided it would be a good idea to use Len's buzzers to trim up his sideburns. He moved and I had taken the guard off and that's when I shaved a huge chunk out of his hair. I have never seen Len so mad at me. Who knew he would care more about his son's hair then I would? I just had to laugh b/c there was nothing we could do about it. I'm just going to let it grow back out because I really don't want to shave his head.

 

Me and Laura Beth with Carolina and Walker. He was so tired and would not look at the camera.

 

Playing with Balloon

Walker got a balloon at Breakfast with Santa with a little elf attached to it. He loves "boons." That was the only thing to improve his mood this morning. He is normally so happy, but wasn't having any part of Breakfast with Santa. We didn't even stay to get our picture made.

 

 

 

Hanging out at Home

This has been a busy week, but it was slowed down by pink eye (Will) and Fifth's Disease (the last one was a self diagnosis, but Walker had every symptom of it so I just assume that is what he had). Here are just a few pictures I took around the house. Expect alot of blogging in the future because after I'm getting a new digital Nikon SLR for Christmas and I'm SO excited!!! I've been wanting one ever since my sister got one and I'm so envious of her gorgeous pictures. I probably won't be as good as her, but the reason why I got the exact same camera as her is so she can teach me.

 

 

 

 

Race Track

*Lots of new posts below* I'm so behind on blogging that I just decided to skip out on October completely. It was just to overwhelming to try to go back and blog about everything so I'm starting fresh with our Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina. We had a great time with family and I feel so blessed to be able to hold my babies tight. This has been a tough week that I will never forget as long as I live. It's hard to celebrate Christmas and be "normal" with everything that has happened. It has also made me realize that I want to capture my moments with my babies on this blog, so that one day, they will be able to look back at this and know how much their mommy and daddy loved them.

Ward and Heather share a love for racing and Len loves it too. It makes him think of his dad and holds a special place in his heart. I know absolutely nothing about it, but I'm learning. We went to Lowe's Motor Speedway where you can pay to race where all of the Nascar racers drive. I have to say, in my younger years, I was a daredevil but as I've gotten older and become a mother, I've gotten way wimpier. I thought I was having a mini panic attack while we were on the racetrack in our mini van. It ended up being fun, but my heart was a pumping!

 

 

 

 

Two exhausted little boys after a day of fun. Thank you Grandma Nancy and Fred for a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had such a great time. The boys were asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will was completely slumped over in his seat. He was so tired.

 

 

 

Two peas in a pod. Like cousins, the loved each other one minute and fought the next.

 

Making Christmas snow globes with Grandma Nancy.

 

Eating Turkey cupcakes that Aunt Heather brought. They were a hit as you can tell from the chocolate on Walker's face.

 

 

Getting ready for a race down the street.

 

Walker getting some love from his Aunt Heather. He loved her!

 

My cutie pie nephew Davis and Aunt Heather

 

Can you tell Walker didn't want to sit for this picture? He wanted to be right in the middle of everything and played his little heart out.

 

More Thanksgiving

 

 

Trying to get a shot with the Adcock boys and Grandma Nancy. To bad the older Adcock boys (daddies) made bunny ears and gang signs.

 

 

Thanksgiving at Grandma Nancy and Fred's house

We drove up to Winston for Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Nancy's. The boys were so excited to see her and Fred. It was such a beautiful day and we stayed outside almost the entire time except to eat. They loved all of her toys, especially the driveable racecar.

 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving in NC

The boys trashing Gage and Davis' room. They had so much fun playing with all their toys.
