Christmas in February?


Finally posting Christmas in January is crazy, posting Christmas is February is really bad but I could not let allow March to arrive tomorrow without finishing the Christmas pictures! For heaven's sake the daffodils are here! Plus, tomorrow we will have a big 6 year old to blog about!


Nana & Dadoh came Christmas morning

Jacob made a precious calendar at school to give us on Christmas morning. He was dying to give his gifts and almost didn't make it, he wanted so bad to go ahead and give it to us!

Santa's big gift this year was a basketball goal and basketballs! It made Christmas morning very easy for this momma with a little bitty one taking up a lot of time this Christmas season!
We went out to see the big surprise & Logan was kind of wondering what we were doing outside in our PJs!


Big brother Jacob shows Micah his stocking

Logan checking out his stocking

More silly bands!

That night the Ellis side of the family came over to our house which was a first for us and we really enjoyed being home all day.

(above) Troy and Aunt Steph or Stephianns as Logan is calling her these days

Grandmomma got Christmas ornaments with every great-grandchilds pictures on it

Grandmomma and Jacob
We really missed our sweet Granddaddy this year but know he had the best Christmas ever at the feet of His Savior. We had a lot to be thankful for.

Jacob gets excited when we he sees that yes, we would have a white Christmas. The 1st in this area for over 100 years!

The boys, aunt Steph and Papa headed outside to see the snow but before they did, one quick cuddle with Micah.


Micah asleep after his 1st Christmas, what a great day!

The next morning the kids went out to check out the snow in the daylight. Just enough snow to cancel church so we were all home together that morning.

The boys spent a lot of time with the Fisher Price nativity with of course, guests appearances by police men, firemen and whoever else drove by!
Logan also wore this stocking cap for about 2 weeks straight!

The Houston side of the family celebrated Christmas new years day when we were all in town.
I was thrilled to get a picture of all 5 of us!

Nana & Dadoh with all of the grandkids, note: Logan still has the cap on!

Christmas recap part 1



Well, it is only a month after Christmas and I haven't posted Christmas pictures! You would think that after being snowed in for a week I would be all caught up, NOT!
I will post part one of Christmas and just saw that the pics are all backwards but that is OK just follow along our crazy life!

I was so thrilled that on the way out of the door to the Christmas Eve service I caught a picture of the boys!
A couple of days before Christmas we usually get together with my parents (Mema & Papa) and my sister (Aunt Steph) & Troy
Here is Aunt Steph and Troy seeing how much fun it can be with 3 kids!
Mema & Papa and the boys

Micah in his Santa suit
Logan likes to "hold" Micah


Go back a week or two and we did our annual ginger bread house

Just as we got everything out, Micah decided it was feeding time so Daddy got to jump in. He didn't realize how much fun that icing can be and how many times 2 little boys can ask if they can eat the candy yet:)


Getting Christmas presents ready presented to be a bit of a challenge since Micah wanted to be held ALL the time. Jacob stepped in one morning and I actually got 2 presents wrapped!


Even having a newborn during Christmas time couldn't slow life down so Micah found himself like this a lot, On the go!

Meeting Grandmother Bailey

Jacob and his teacher, Mrs Heslep. His kindergarten holiday program was SO cute. He was a present:)
Playing bingo at his class party. Mema kept Micah so I could go do Jacob's holiday party. He was 2 1/2 weeks old, I was probably a zombie!


Once again, go back to the beginning of December and this is the outfit that Micah wore when we went to get our Christmas tree. He was 8 days old! Don't worry, he was outside about 10 seconds and totally covered the whole time!

Jacob and Logan loved helping Daddy pick out the tree. Logan's favorite part was wearing "work gloves."
Both of the little ones are waking up from their naps so I will finish Christmas recap soon and it is hard to believe that Micah is already 2 months old!

We interrupt this Christmas recap for SNOW day

We are snowed in! I still need to post Christmas but had to post these snow pics.
This is quite a bit of snow for the south!


No garbage pick up anytime soon!

Daddy shows the boys how sledding is done
Logan had a hard time trying to figure out how to walk in the snow at first



We were trying to figure out what kind of critter these paw prints belonged to


About 5 or 6 inches


snowdrift in neighbor's yard
If there was any uncertainty....it is for sure.....3 days in the house has confirmed what we knew....Micah has colic....he has spent a lot of the time doing this........
We are very thankful though, we have power, we are healthy and have had some family time &
we even have deer in the backyard!
And every once and a while he stops crying and smiles!
