First night away & Playdate FUN!

 Like Father, Like Son. :)
 We had our annual dinner party with friends and this year we decided to make it kid free! With it being at our house this year, Turner went and stayed with Grandmama and Grandpapa. He did such a good job! Slept through the night, so now I know he can spend the night out whenever he wants to ;) ;)! Any takers?? I did pretty good on not calling and I truly did miss him before we went to bed, but I knew he was in good hands! The next morning my dad said Turner was ready to get up at 545, so they hung out, had their morning coffee and talked about the fishing report.
 Yep. Just an overnight visit.
Oh yeah..'Santi' came to visit! Grandpapa had fun dressing up..or should I say my mom had fun video and taking pictures. Turner pulled his hat off. Turner did tell him he wanted a boat for Christmas..mmm...

Thanks to all the babysitters allowing us to get together and have full conversations for one evening!
Playdate with Campbell and Jackson
 Jackson and Campbell came over to play with us and to exchange Christmas gifts. I loved how Campbell walks in looking adorable from head to toe and Turner doesn't even have pants on or as you can see comb his hair:).
 She is a doll!
 To get a decent picture of all three AT the SAME time is near impossible right now, SO I posted the three best of each one of them :). Notice Jackson sitting on his red stool. I'll have to get a pink one for Campbell when they come visit, so she doesn't feel left out.


 Jackson reading to the kids. They look up to Jackson in so many ways!
 I LOVE my big brother!
 Jackson opened up his gifts and was so sweet to help Turner. They got him the cutest Radio Flyer toy storage. Too fun!

 Turner's New Year's Eve shirt. LOVE IT!!
That's right Tman--take it like a man! You GO GIRL!
 This is probably my favorite picture of the year. What's so funny is when I took it, she was just rolling over him like they always do! Too funny! 

 Jackson loved playing the Moose song. He stopped the pictures so he could go get it for it to be in the picture with us.
They are giggling and bouncing while planning their next date!

Christmas Cookie Playdate & Fun Around the House!

Christmas cookie decorating with the kids! Hilary had us over for our December playdate to decorate cookies and spend some time with the kids!


 Turner loves being with Jenny. Jenny taught me the 'trick' when Turner was younger on how to rock him to sleep! Such a good momma!
 Cedar chillin'
 Campbell looking all cute in her festive holiday gear!

 Turner loves these new toys!

 Where's the mistletoe?!?!
 Bells will be ringing! 
 Lounging around the house and running errands with Momma!

 He did NOT like his singing puppy sharing his chair with him.





We have so much fun hanging around the house! He loves his red chair! 

Alicia visiting & Company Christmas Party!

Alicia came to visit a few weeks back. She was in the hunting mood and got Turner all excited for when he can go hunting! Alicia loved some Turner time!

 Wearing his camo hat to impress Aunt Alicia!
Beautiful Aunts having fun with Turner!

 Unc Steve and Aunt Staci came over for dinner one night. Steve insisted on feeding Turner his bedtime bottle! They got him a Dr Seuss book and the cutest boots for Christmas!!
 Marcy made Turner his 1st Christmas ornaments for not only me but my entire family. I LOVE it!!
 They love each other.... let's all take a moment to pray that this will last or there may be a PoPo for sale :(.

Company Christmas Party 2010!!
I had fun sending out invites and getting us all together. There was talk the next day around the water cooler on someone having too much egg nog!


 As many know, my mom watches Turner Monday-Thursday. Aunt Natalie watches him on Friday for some Turner Time! I couldn't be more happy with this situation when I went back to work.
We took a night stroll across the street for some good ole' fashion Christmas light pictures! It was SOOO cold!


 Turner helping Aunt Natalie open her gift!
 Yes..this is what we do. Right after Addison and I exchanged our vows I told him my dream on Christmas morning was to wake up in matching PJ's each year when we start having children. He's such a trooper! I bought these when I was still pregnant. We have robes and Turner has the PJ's this year. It is too much fun and I give props to my wonderful husband for allowing me to live out my lifelong dream. :) Eventually I won't only have him whining about it..but Turner probably won't be so happy at the age of 15 wearing matching PJ's with the family, but we will see!
 Getting some tummy rub from Turner to Honey-B-Jammin!
 Bathtime! Our Christmas party started at 530 and ended at 7...the 'boss' runs a tight ship and was ready for his bath and bottle!

Some favorite pictures I haven't posted
 Rocking with Turner and waiting on deer to arrive.
Aunt Lydia was so nice to come hang out with Turner after work so I could grade papers one evening when Addison was out of town.

 Already showing that stress look for the holiday season!
 Happy 8 months to me!


Yippee! Daddy loves to play!
