HO HO HO!

Have you missed me???  I can't believe it's been so long.  I mean, what do I do these days???

Well first of all I hope everyone had a very blessed and happy Christmas season.  We sure did.  We got to go to church, spend lots of time with family, and have present time.  What more could we ask for.

Here are some pics from over this Christmas season.  Enjoy!

My mother and I got this wild idea that would would take Gage (8), Ella (7), Lily Kate (20 months), and Lucy (2 months) to Jackson for pictures with Santa.  What a trip!  The kids were great but it was crazy and wore us out!  On the trip home everybody, yes everybody but me fell asleep!

Here are some pics with Mimi, Aunt Wee Wee and Aunt K K...

Here are a few from Christmas at Mamaw's and Mimi's...

Cousin Julie is helping Lily Kate open her guitar!

Twin Brooke or Brianna (I can't always tell them apart!!!)

Lily Kate loved the box!!!

These next few pics will melt your heart.  This is Taylor's great-great grandmother.  She is 99 years old and still knows and loves Taylor.  All he has to do is walk in the room and she knows it's him -- sweet!  Lily Kate visits Granny every time we are at Mamaw's, and she just loves Granny.  We have a 5 generation pic of Lily Kate with Granny, and now we have one with Lucy too!

look at Lily Kate holding Granny's hand...

Here are a few from Christmas with my family.  Aunt Ann and Uncle John came for Christmas and we had a great time.  They are so much  fun and I can't wait for you to see what they got Lily Kate and Lucy... but I don't have all my pics so I will save that for the next post!

We had a wonderful surprise -- Lindsey got to come!  It has been a year and a half since she was last here, so that was a great Christmas present in itself!  She is 16 now and just beautiful!

Ok those were just a few pics, more to post soon!

How was your Christmas???

An artist in the making!

This is Lily Kate's 1st piece of artwork, and isn't it just so precious.  I seriously had a tear in my eye when I saw it...

She made this turkey when she went to church Wednesday night and learned about Thanksgiving.  I am so grateful that she and Lucy will grown up in a Christian home learning about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who came to save us from our sins.  What more could we be thankful for!

GOBBLE GOBBLE...

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we are soooo thankful for our two little turkeys, Lily Kate & Lucy Cullen!


It's hard to get this little turkey to be still long enough for a good pic!!!

And she gets sooo tickled at herself these days:

My two turkeys!

Such a happy little turkey!

And here is Lily Kate at her desk, working.  Please  notice that her "phone" is really a calculator!  At least she didn't get into the shredded paper again!

Daddy loves to snuggle with his babies.  Sadly Lily Kate will NOT snuggle anymore!
Here is a quiz...  Which baby is which???  One pic is of Lily Kate and one is of Lucy! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cute, silly, and funny...

Cute Lucy Cullen... 

Silly -- Daddy loves to spike Lily Kate's hair...

And now for the funny...  What happens when you empty the shredder in the kitchen trashcan and you have an 18 month little girl running around and you take your eyes off of her for 1 minute 30 seconds ???  These pics answer that!

Lily Kate had the shredded paper from one end of our house to the other!  She had fun making the mess, but her Daddy didn't have fun cleaning it up!
