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!

Starting off Christmas on the right 'foot'

Merry Christmas!
We look forward every year to attending the annual Christmas dinner at the Hill's home! We adore this family and feel so blessed to be a part of their family memories! I am a little out of order on my posts..but there are such cute pictures, so I wanted to share!


 Meghan holding Tman! He just stared away. She's such a good momma!
 Miss Anna and Eli behind all smiles!
Campbell awoke and ready to play with Rhonda's glasses.
 Here they are! They had so much to catch up on. They just sat and discussed what they wanted for Christmas, which side of Santa's list they were one, what they think of their new stocking..you know, the usual talk for their age. (Their feet! I just love ..that's the close up on the top!)
Marcy had these shirts made for the holidays! I love them. Campbell's vest was adorable with pink sparkles and we have Gpa T's britches up high enough! :)




 Chillin' and waiting on the good food to be ready!
 Anita getting some Campbell time. The Schwartzman's got us Puppy Chow and a cute new toy for Turner. I LOVE making me some puppy chow!


 It was so sweet! Sharon got Turner his 1st Christmas gift to open. Turner did very well on interacting with the paper and so excited when it was opened. I loved it!


 Cookie Monster! He was so happy!
 Marcy taking a rest after all the wonderful cooking!

 On your mark...Get Set...Roll!!
 Turner, of course, scratched on Ryan's beard!
Well, I do know these two kiddos are on Santa's good list! We are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. Looking forward to the next two weeks off and creating even more Christmas memories with all my family and friends!
