Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. Raylin and I slept late which always makes a wonderful day! :) Then she came and layed in the bed with me and watched the Disney Channel. It was so sweet and is definitely a Christmas Eve moment I won't forget. Then we went to pick Brigg up at work. We went to eat our traditional Christmas Eve Mexican lunch! After lunch, Raylin and I took a nap! Then Julz and Pops came over and we all went to look at Christmas lights. After dinner, Raylin opened lots of presents from her Julz and Pops and Brigg and I did too. Thanks Julz and Pops for all of our goodies! I read "The Christmas Story" to Raylin and then we all went to bed to wait on Santa to come!

Looking at Christmas lights!

I love my new pony!!!

Julz and Pops gave Raylin this rocking pony for Christmas. She loved it as you can see in the video!

Loving the camera!!!

This is her smiling face when her daddy walked in from work! She gets so excited when he gets home! She is in the process of getting off of her car to go see him! So sweet! I just love these moments as does her Daddy I'm sure! I just need someone to take a picture of her when I come home from work. She is jumping up and down and squealing! Way more excited than this!!! Ha!!! :)

Aunt Moc Moc's Christmas Tree Sip and See!

This afternoon Raylin and I went to Aunt Moc Moc's Christmas party. We had a great time visiting everyone and seeing Katie Jo who is home from New York City! Aunt Moc Moc had her house decorated so beautiful for Christmas. Raylin loved all of the Christmas trees!

Fulton Christmas!

Friday night, we went to the river to stay with Gran and Gramp. Saturday, we had Christmas in Louisville with the Fulton family at Mom's house. It was such a pretty day and all the kids had so much fun playing outside. We had an early dinner and then opened presents. It was such a fun time and was great to see our Fulton family. After we left Mom's, Gran and I took Raylin to see some Christmas lights. And when I say some, I really mean millions! There was at least a mile of nonstop Christmas lights! There was even a traffic jam while we were riding through them. There was a tour bus in front of us that held up traffic. Raylin loved it. She rode with her head out the window clapping and squealing. And just so no one thinks I am a bad mother, it was warm and we were on a dirt road/driveway! Hopefully we can get Brigg to ride through them next weekend on our way to the river. I want him to see the excitement on her sweet little face!!!

Christmas Sunday

We went to church with Gran and Gramp at First Baptist Church Pickensville, Alabama. Before and after church, I had to take a few pictures of course. Raylin was not a little angel during church. I had to take her out before the sermon even started.

"I have had enough pictures!!!"

Lots of Posts!

I am a little bit behind on posting pictures so there are a lot of posts. My computer hasn't been working so I had to get a new one. YEAH - Early Christmas present! I decided I better get these on here today or I would never catch up because we have a full weekend and next week of lots of picture taking opportunities! :) Enjoy!!!

Christmas with Friends

Last night we had the Edward's, Green's and Sharpe's over for dinner and let the kids exchange gifts! We had lots of fun and love our sweet friends so much!

Hank and Raylin fighting over his "HANK" train that she gave him!

Fun with Friends!!!

Mother's Day Out Christmas Party!

These are a few pictures I took of Raylin before we left for her Mother's Day Out Christmas Party!

Raylin and Hayes enjoying some Santa cookies... I didn't get very many pictures at the party because Raylin screamed everytime I would get the camera out. I think she is tired of having her picture taken. I can't imagine why! :)

Elle Elise's Birthday Party at Pump It Up!!!

Happy Birthday Elle Elise!!!
Tuesday, we went to Elle Elise's birthday party at Pump It Up! Everybody had lots of fun!

Family jumping and sliding...

Watching the safety video before the party... Look at Raylin sitting up there like a big girl! That was right before she did a nose dive off the bench!

Waiting on Little Mermaid cake and icecream...

Christmas Party at Luckett Lodge

Raylin went to a Christmas party Monday at Luckett Lodge. Lilly Luckett invited her and she had a blast with Santa and all the kids. This was the sweetest idea. The children each brought a donation and they adopted a child from the Angel Tree. There were cookies, snacks and Santa!!! Santa read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the children and each child could get their picture taken with Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas! Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

This first collage is just Raylin with Santa. Most of the pictures are from the second time she sat on his lap. The first time she screamed bloody murder - bottom right picture! Later she warmed up to him and couldn't get enough of Santa Claus!

Another collage of some of Raylin's friends with Santa.... Sweet Nash did not like Santa either!

Small Group Christmas Party
