Festive Weekend!

our weekend started off by celebrating VAN'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!! it was a monster bash and his mama melissa thought of everything! melissa and i talked everyday when we were pregnant and continue to share tips and advice with one another...i can't believe our boys are turning a year old!

here is van getting ready to dig into his monster head!

daddy and lawton

lawton's bff betsy grace and her puurty mama libby...betsy grace has a TON of boyfriends that are going to fight over her in a few years...poor thing ;-)

now, i had to get a picture of this "situation". (melissa, do not share my blog with his mama!)lawton was playing nicely and this boy came out of nowhere are grabbed his hands and shoved them off one by one. i just watched to see what lawton would do and got this face. pure innocence. he was just so confused as to why he couldn't play with it when he was there first! well, the boys mom saw and i think he was taken out front and given a whoopin...oops.

meanwhile....van was gettin after it!

saturday night we celebrated my friend giordana's birthday at the bobcats game in a box. this was my first time ever going to a game and dammit i am spoiled now! sit in a seat? no thanks! crabcake, yes please!

let's be honest, i didn't watch one minute of the game. i think i just made everyone's ears bleed. i don't get out much.

logan, moi and meredith


last but not least, sunday we went over the the white's for their annual Christmas party. elizabeth is the ULTIMATE party planner and hostess. she is amazing and does it all with 3 kids under 3. she is such a wonderful friend and mother and this is such a great tradition that the kids will remember for years to come!

looks like someone went a little heavy on the blush...maybe i was channeling mrs. claus?

okay...this is kinda staged. i really wanted a picture of him crying with santa. i know, mean, but i am thinking about the future people! i am thinking about lawton's rehearsal dinner and a video montage and this picture to embarrass him just a little bit! he was totally fine with santa, looking up at him and then we just kinda left him there. that's when he started to get a bit upset. this is a laughing/crying picture. so, i kinda got what i wanted ;-)

lawton and court white....these two are going to be trouble in a few years! believe me, elizabeth and i know this is a fact because we live with their fathers!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 13 more days!
