Ms. Gayle

I really can't believe that I have never blogged about Ms. Gayle.  She is our amazing babysitter that comes to be with the kids at least once a week... sometimes more.  Wow, is she amazing.

It dawned on me that I had never blogged about her, and I have figured out why.  Most of my blogs revolve around pictures and I had NO pictures of Ms. Gayle.  And, here's the reason.... every time she walks in my door, I run out my door.  It is such wonderful feeling to be able to run out and get things done and know my children are being taken care of!  More than that, my kids are having a blast!  They love Ms. Gayle and she loves them right back.  She is such a blessing to our family!!!

An attempt at a group shot.

Everly wasn't having it.

But, we finally got a smile!

One More Christmas

Our final get together... with Bunny and RayRay.  And, yes... more presents!

Walker and Clark showing off their new aprons!

Everly got very good at opening things!!!

Wow, what's this big thing??

Walker and Everly got WAY TOO much this year.  In fact, there are several things that haven't even come out of the box yet.  The good news, they'll get new things all over again in a couple of months!

Christmas on the Farm

More presents!  Of course! Our next stop was with Nanna and Bubba!

Everly found a good spot.

Look at all my cool cars!

Shopping girl!

Walker the Chef!

We all got aprons from Aunt Wendy.  This was our attempt at a group shot.  Makes me laugh!

It was very cold and wet, but the kids still got to enjoy the cows!  Moo!

You would think this would be our last Christmas celebration.... nope.  One more to go!

Christmas Morning

Wow!  Santa came down the chimney and left a bunch of presents!!!

Walker excited by his Buzz Lightyear gun... Everly loved watching him!

Look!  There's stuff in our stockings!

Oh yes!  My girl has her first pair of heels!

Look at our awesome new kitchen!

After playing with new toys for awhile it was time to pack up and head to the farm!!!

Christmas Eve

So, there isn't a lot to tell about Christmas Eve.  We made it to church, but didn't make it through the whole service.  The bottom line.... these kids are cute!!!!

So sweet together!

Our wild man!

Daddy and his sweet babes.

Mommy trying to get a good picture!

Say CHEESE!

Did I mention that he's wild?

My attempt at getting them both to look at the camera.  At least he is smiling at her!

Just thought this was too cute!

Christmas PJs!  Go to bed, Santa is coming!

Got to leave Santa our delicious cookies!

Christmas Cookies

As you can imagine, our holiday time was hectic and plans didn't always turn out the way we all wanted.  But, there was something I really wanted to do with the kids this year.... make Christmas cookies!  We didn't have a lot of time so we opted for round cookies, not shapes.  But, I'm proud to say.... we got it done!

I think Walker and Everly both enjoyed the frosting!

Everly liked all the little sprinkles!

Hmmm, her mouth is very red and his is very green!  I think they ate more than they decorated!

Yep, I think so!

Such sweet babies!

Pre-Christmas Festivities!

Time to update the blog and show everyone all the fun the kids had during Christmas time!  Peepaw and Maggie came to visit and brought presents!  Walker ADORES his cool new car!

And, a few days later we got to spend a little time with Savannah, Carson and Ryder!  Here are Bunny and RayRay with all the grands.

Everly wasn't into picture taking, but did enjoy opening presents!

Walker got the greatest present ever... a Woody costume... he loves it!

Thanks Aunt Trisha!  Walker likes looking like his handsome older cousin!

I can't wait to see these two actually wearing their shirts!

Lots of fun... all before Christmas!
