Christmas Program

Davis had his first Christmas Program at school a few weeks ago. I was a little anxious on how well a bunch of not even two year olds and two year olds would do standing on a stage singing while all their family were out in the audience staring at them. It was quite the show! Ha

                                                                      Davis stood on stage with his hands covering his ears...Such a silly boy! We were all dying laughing

Ethan, Tucker, Jack, and Davis all sitting so nicely ...it didnt last long

he just kind of stood there the whole time and looked around confused..ha

hey boy!

Sweet jack 

about half way through mommy had to put down the camera and go put D back on stage... we were spotted in the crowd and thats all it took for him to loose it a little. But he regrouped and finished out the performance :)we had all but two of the grandparents there with us so I was thrilled that he even made it five seconds on the stage with all his favorite people in the crowd

Nothing a little "Ba"(paci) cant fix. Hey you do what ya gotta do! Poor Jack was over it at this point too and had spotted mommy and daddy

After the performance they had a sweet little reception for the parents and the littles, Davis thoroughly enjoyed his "teet" (treat)

Mommy and D

All in all it was crazy but oh so precious at the same time. I was so proud of our boy :)I can't believe he is old enough to be having a Christmas program!? I know I say it all the time but I feel like I just had a sweet little newborn sleeping on my chest, where o where has the time gone sweet little one...

Breakfast with Santa

A few Saturdays ago we went to the Junior Leagues Breakfast with Santa. I knew Davis would not sit on Santa's lap but we went anyways to enjoy the festivities. We tried Santa three times this year and they were all a no go. Each time I would say to him "look its santa! Lets go see him!" Davis would respond with 'No anta, No anta!" Oh well, what are you gonna do?
We saw a lot of our friends and Davis enjoyed running around saying hello to everyone. We met up with the Deans and the boys ran around together causing all kinds of trouble. I swear those two are such a handful!It took all we had to keep them off of the stage and from pulling down the curtains that were hung on the walls.
I only got two pictures...oh well

D's favorite part by far was when the Tallahassee Ballet performed parts of the Nutcracker, he LOVED it! ha

They were wonderful

Thanksgiving

I've finally sat down to play catch up... so here goes!

Lets back up a ways ;)


Thanksgiving was crazy and wonderful as always. Davis and I went at it alone this year because our avid hunter was holed up in a tree stand in Kansas...oh the life of a hunters wife

We had three stops to make on T day....first stop was my cousin Mehgean's house. She hosted a wonderful little brunch of yummy comfort food. Davis always loves seeing his cousins, they have such a fun time playing. and davis may or may not be OBSESSED with his cousin Cole. Its so sweet to watch them play , and Cole is so good with D.

When we got there we said hello to everyone and the kids ran off to play as I ran into the kitchen to make a mimosa (kidding...kinda) As I was checking out all of the food I came across my Mama Jeans SOS. It was my favorite thing she used to make, and it was our special thing she always made me "angel, do you want your mama jean to make you some SOS?" I would do anything to hear her voice again. It was a yummy corned beef and cream thing that she served over toast. So simple but so yummy. I had not had it since she passed away some 12 years ago and as I stood in that kitchen tears started rolling down my face. It made me miss her so much. As I took my first bite of it I found myself back sitting at her kitchen bar spending a day with her and cooking up yummy food. God love that womans soul...she is why we all are the way we are. She loved every one of us so much. Cant wait to see her again one day

Sadly I didn't take any pictures of us there :( but it was a yummy good time had by all



Up next was lunch with my dad. We do Thanksgiving at his best friends house that lives next to him and then my dad host Christmas at his house. Its always a ton of people and a lot of fun. I'm going to let pictures do the talking from here on out ....

Playing with his great uncle Steve

Everyone relaxing after our huge meal, and of course Davis running around like a crazy man

My dad

 Third stop was My Aunt Carrah's where we gave thanks with my moms family. This was our last stop so we just sat back and relaxed, it was wonderful!

He found a basketball and didn't put it down the whole time

          

Yummy Oysters and stone crab legs

Hi boy!

We had a great day and welcomed daddy back home the next night :)

Up next....Breakfast with Santa!
