christmas 2012

 

we had such a wonderful christmas this year! no one was sick (until the day we got home) and everyone was happy and healthy...couldn't ask for anything better right?

christmas eve we went over to my cousins' house with all of my dad's side of the family, we didn't stay long because santa was coming and the elves had some work to do!

lawton woke up to a few toys and his face lit up!! such a fun thing to see ;)

 after santa, we packed everyone up and went over to my parents to open gifts. this year lawton had some of his best gifts given to him by others besides us...i picked most out, so we had a low key one at home and that way, he had so much to look forward to (as did i - i was just as excited for him!)

 cars 2 garage from uncle trent -HUGE hit. anything CARS and Batman is A+ to lawton

 my parents - they look great don't they?!?!

 BATMAN!

 

after that, we packed the crew again and headed to jack's sisters house in fayetteville. we stayed there two nights and had the BEST time. everyone slept well (huge bonus!) and they kids had a BLAST. so many wonderful memories made!

wyatt with aunt mandy

 lots of wrestling. LOTS.

 great uncle hugh playing with wyatt

 jack and his dad, billy. they dont' look alike at all do they? ;)

 sweet wyatt

 

 

 playing the kids new something....no controls, just movement - it was amazing. i danced 2 songs and was out of breath. jack was running so fast and would have to sit down. we are old.

 lawton's santas bag present to aunt mandy - chritstmas tree earrings! ha! can't wait to see those next year mandy ;))

 new strider bike

 

and look who is getting super easy to feed?! cousin emily, like i have said before is the ULTIMATE babysitter. she turns 9 in a few days and ASKED me if she could feed him. she was so confident and didn't bat a lash. she even watched tv while she did it and didn't worry a second. love that! now, if she could only move to charlotte.... ;))

and out...

we weren't sad to leave this year for the first time because everyone was coming to charlotte in 2 days for wyatt's baptism! yay!

 

we were so blessed to have a wonderful Christmas and be around our family....it was a very special few days!
