Christmas, Christmas, Everywhere!

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to update you on all the fun we have had over the Christmas Season. We had our party at church where Brianna enjoyed listening to the Christmas Story and opening gifts. Then we went to her Great Granny's house in Florence where Brianna celebrated Christmas and Birthday a little early. She loved to give Great Granny hugs and kisses; and enjoyed her Chocolate milk from Aunt Laura once again! We then opened our presents after church on Sunday and Santa came Christmas morning! I think there was so much excitement, Brianna really didn't know where to go next!!!

Listening to the Christmas Story at Church...


Brianna waiting on Santa....


Holding her presents from Santa at Church, only after calming her down b/c she was terrified of Santa....


Okay Mommy, now that Santa is gone, I'll smile for you...


Briann opened her Birthday present early from Great Granny and loved it! She made her a 12 Days of Christmas book, can you tell Brianna's happy...


She was so intent on everything that was going on in that book...


Brianna opens her present from Uncle Tommy, Aunt Laura and Aunt Jennifer (a pocket book and money)...Brianna loves money!

Jolly Old Saint Nick...

Brianna has been so excited with every "Santa" she sees. The last time she was at her Mema's house, she had to tell him just what she wanted him to bring her. It is so wonderful watching the true Spirit of Christmas through a child's eyes. We read her stories about the birth of Baby Jesus and she says "Happy Birthday Jesus". It is the sweetest thing to just watch her look at lights and decorations.

This is a video of Brianna talking to Mr. and Mrs. Claus...


Okay Santa, I want one of everything you've got!

Okay here are some fun pictures of our Friends from Southern Methodist College. All of these guys graduated from SMC and now have beautiful kids!

Hope you enjoyed. We will post more Christmas photos next week!

Thanksgiving Past!

Hey Everyone!
I know, as usual, I am posting a few weeks too late. Brianna had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Edgefield and Batesburg. She really enjoyed playing with her cousins Kayden and Trapp, and thinks she's just as old as they are. She also had fun on the surprise trip to The Addy's pony farm. She got to ride a pony and loved every minute of it. Tiger was her favorite horse and she wants him for her very own; we'll have to see abou that! {Right Paw Paw?) Hope your week is filled with fun and excitement as ours is with our "almost" 2 year old!

Kayden, Brianna and Trapp enjoying Thanksgiving lunch at "their" table:


Brianna thought it was great to be able to eat lunch and watch a movie at a table just her size...

Kayden was surprised to get some new earings for Maw Maw...

How is this for a Thanksgiving feast...Kayla's 2nd deer; and Brianna thought it was awesome!


Brianna riding "squirt" at the Addy's house...


A view on top of Dada's shoulders to look at all the horses...


Dada was teaching Brianna how to let Tiger the horse smell her hand...


This is a picture of Me in my Mommy's dress that Great Granny Helen got for her from Peru; I can't believe it is 24 years old and still looks this cute!


Although Brianna is not allowed to have any boyfriends, her friend Owen from church is very cute and they make quite a couple don't they?


Silly Brianna Grace...


Hamming it up for photo time...
