Addie and her Puffs

While doing some shopping at Target the other day, Addison got a little hungry. So, I got some banana puffs for her to eat while we shopped and then through the check-out line. She was cracking us up because she refused to let go of the container and if you took it away, she would scream. This is some video of her when we got to the car. She was not giving them up.

The Polar Express

My son loves trains. Most people know that about him. One year for Christmas we got him the book Polar Express. He loves it and we read it every Christmas. I also have a very expensive train cake pan that my husband was not happy I bought. With a son who loves trains it comes in very handy because every year he wants a train cake for his birthday.
This year he asked me to make the polar express to take to his class Christmas party. He asked on Tuesday and the party was today, Thursday. Being the mother that I am, I made his cake and think it came out pretty good for throwing it together in one day.
When I brought the finished product to his class, he came running out to see me and jumped into my arms and said the cake was "AWESOME!". That right there is why I love being a mom.

Playing in the Leaves

Some video of Xavier and Alexis playing in the leaves.

Thanks Aunt Sheila and Uncle Mike!

Aunt Sheila and Uncle Mike sent the kids some Christmas decorations the other day. Xavier was given a cool Christmas tree that has a train chugging through it and a star on the top. (Xavier apparently prefers stars on tops of trees and not angels. We have an angel.) Anyway, here are some cute pictures of the kids playing with the tree after church today.

Playing around the House

Reading together.




Playing on the bed and under the covers.







Going for a ride on the new car. Thanks Grandma!

Santa at Fernbank

Hi Santa! Addison was so curious about this strange looking man. Xavier screamed and cried the first time he ever saw Santa.




In front of the Dinosaur christmas tree.


Somewhere in that camo is my son. Do you see him??






Listening to the Pan Pipe. It's so cool.




Xavier during the storyteller hour. Some were pretty good and some were ok. The kids from Kennesaw State University told stories about penguins and polar bears. I was getting unnerved by the fact that they kept saying penguins and polar bears were in Antarctica together. It's a pet peeve of mine.


Addison listening to the stories. She was actually more interested in the audience.


This is what a moody 4 yr old looks like.




Coloring a menorah. What can I say, it's in his blood, he can't help it.

Pajama Day

It was pajama day at school today. However, Xavier's teacher apparently decided to do hers next Friday. I didn't know and sent him to school in his pj's anyway. Now he gets to do it twice. I also wore my pj's. I love pajama day. You get to be comfortable and not all dressed up. Plus the kids look so cute in their pj's.

Addie's baby

This is a cabbage patch doll Grandma bought Addie when she was a few days old. We finally took it out of the box over Thanksgiving and she has been loving it. Look at how well she holds her baby and tries to feed it. And she's only 10 months old. (Also notice that she's a lefty.)

Playing Together

Some pictures of the kids playing together in Addie's crib. They really love one another and that makes me very happy.
