Christmas 2009

****ALERT****

I wrote this post like 2 weeks ago and I can't get any of the pictures to attach except for the one below--so--there you go---Chandler and Tucker playing the guitar Christmas morning! Merry Christmas 2009!

The week before Christmas we had Christmas with the Mana and Papa and all of my mom's side of the family, I don't have any pics but it was so good getting to see my cousins and their beautiful children. It reminded me of Christmas when I was little. For Christmas we went to Lady and Poppy's house for Christmas Eve, we went to church and then had a nice dinner with David Giles and Neesie and the boys. Then Santa came to Lady and Poppy's house. On Christmas day we opened presents at Lady and Poppy's and then headed back home for nap time. We went to Gram and Pop's house Christmas Day night and had a BIG time with all of our cousins and family. We played and opened presents had a wonderful dinner followed by more playing and eating desert! We are so blessed to be able to spend the holidays with our loved ones all around us! Here are some of the pictures...

1986 called they want you back!

I took a little Christmas vacation from updating the blog so I have alot to post but I wanted to post these pics of Gigi in leg warmers first. Since I've only had Tucker the past three years I wasn't aware of this leg warmer phenomenon that's going in baby girl fashion but as soon as I learned about the trend we were out buying some. I realize that you are probably supposed to wear other clothes with the leg warmers but around our house especially on Christmas break--we just run around in our underwear (we meaning the kids not big momma :) Enjoy!

This one above cracks me up--nice side profile Gigg! :)

It's beginning to look alot like CHRISTmas!

We I originally wrote this it was beginning to look alot like Christmas--now it is Christmas--doesn't the time between Christmas and Thanksgiving seem to get smaller and smaller every year??? Anyway here are some pics of us decorating for Christmas and playing with Christmas decorations...

Tucker hanging the first ornament on the tree.

Gigi sat on the ground and watched this ornament for the longest time and finally grabbed a drumstick, crawled over to it and started swatting at it like it was a pinata...I know, I know--we are all aware that she's probably already smarter than all of us!

The next pictures are of Tucker playing with the nativity scene--it was very sweet and the pictures are precious--but to hear him actually talking like Mary and Joesph and baby Jesus was actually hilarious--he was in his own little nativity world--wish I would've gotten it on video!

Merry Christmas!

My Little Pony (tail)

Gigi's first ever documented ponytail...

Space Week

Today kicked off space week at school--or so we thought. Bryce and I constructed this very authentic astronaut uniform last night for Tucker to wear to school for space day...

So, imagine the suprise I felt when I dropped Tucker off at school and watched child after child walk into school in normal clothes...did their parents forget b/c it was right after the Thanksgiving Holiday...are their outfits in thier bags to put on later...NO and NO--Tucker's teacher informed me when she put him in the car that space dress up day is on Wednesday---GREAT!!! So now I know why when the teacher opened the door to get Tucker out of the car she said (in a stunned sort of way) Ohhhh--what (not who, mind you) do we have here? And, as Tucker walked into school the teacher's literally were laughing so hard that I thought they were going to pee their pants. Good thing that Tucker is only three and he's a boy (and he's adorable)--in his mind he could wear this to school everyday and feel totally confident and comfortable! God Bless him! :)

Thanksgiving Feast

Tucker had his Thanksgiving Feast at school last week...here are some pics!

When Tucker came out all dressed as an indian he started doing the robot saying "I'm a wobot mommy!" Such an imagination...

dsf

Tucker and WesYou can see Tucker and all his cousins, Molly Morgan, Caroline, Clara, and Jake all coming up behind Tucker--I think that they were staring at the man in the AUTHENTIC Indian headress--that went all the way to the floor!


Gigi ate some sweet potato casserole from the comfort of her stroller--her mother is a germ-a-phobe!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween 2009

One word for this post...totally...ANTI-CLIMATIC!!!! Well, my camera battery went dead and I couldn't find the charger, mom forgot her totally awesome camera, so between myself, Bryce, Lady, Poppy, David Giles, and Neesie (Clara) we have this one picture from Halloween and Bryce's bday...

Gigi is a precious little flower for her first halloween and Tucker was a farmer. Lady and Poppy, and David and Neesie dressed up too; to help hand out candy and see the kids dressed up! I did contemplate re-dressing the kids and staging another Halloween but... here's a picture of Tucker the morning after Halloween and I didn't want to have to go through that again...

This is what a child who doesn't get to eat candy looks like the morning after Halloween...SUGAR OVERLOAD!!!
