Christmas DAY!!

uh oh....is that a baby stroller I see with emma's first BABY DOLL from Santa. cue the excitement!!


comin' down the stairs:


and she ran straight for the bounce and spin zebra! ava had one of these at her house so emma was thrilled to have one of her own!








and later that morning, we headed to mimi's where susu and charlie were waiting for us as well!










Merry Christmas to all the Smith's!! now excuse us, we have some ridin' we need to do!


bless her.

christmas in florence

we had been counting down the days until we got to see this little missy again!


and her mama too!


being with family at christmas is just one of the greatest gifts!









Merry Christmas to ALL the Watkins!

happy first!

sweet coleman turned one:


and we were fascinated with the balloons. who needs toys anyway??!!??





But we DO, however, NEED family. can I get an Amen!!

proving my existence

I tend to be behind the camera most of the time so I would like to prove that I do exist {and that Wade and I have occassional nights out}.


where we run into my mom at engagement parties!

randomness

well, we are starting to master the spoon:


And do you see the dogs in the background?? this where they spend their day - they haven't quite come to terms yet that they aren't allowed in the new house!


and emma loves to push the "real" stroller all around downstairs. it must be WAY more fun than the play stroller!


who can blame her??!!??
