Merry Christmas

Here's hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas. Here's just a little of what our holidays were like:

Mommy and the kids after church on Sunday

Scarlett's new kitchen

cutie pie cousins

Daddy helping Clark open his stocking

the family in our jammies Christmas morning

Sweet kids

Ho Ho Hmmm...

This morning Brody volunteered to take Scarlett to school. I love when he can do that because I get to actually finish my morning coffee and don't have to wake sweet Clark up from his morning nap. As soon as they left this morning Brody calls me. He tells me to go look outside because he thinks someone left something for us on the front porch. Imagine my surprise when I open the door and see this....


What?!!? There really are only two options: 1. someone left it as a gift and didn't include a tag...which is highly unlikely, or 2. it is a prank
I just really hope that if some random teenagers took it out of someone's lawn to put it on our porch, no one thinks we stole it. I guess I am going to put a sign on him saying he is lost, and hopefully the rightful owner will come back to claim him.

Like a weed...

That's how fast I feel like this little guy is growing. He was four months old on the 9th, and I just can't believe how quickly the time is flying by. I am sad that he is not a tiny little bundle anymore, but he is laughing, and rolling, and every day is better than the last, and for that I am truly grateful. I did not do this with Scarlett, but you live and learn, so this time I am taking a monthly picture of him with his blue bear so that I can see how much he's grown.

one month
two months

three months...finally a grin!

four months

and finally one with Mommy

(don't you love the double chin...his. Mine...not so much!)

My Fashionista

Here is Scarlett's favorite "new outfit". These jammies are from Mimi last year. For some reason, every night she requests her "new pink (or yellow...she has both) jammies". She will even ask to put them on for nap. Last night we went to Brody's work party and someone gave her this lovely headband. It has now become a part of the favorite ensemble. Since we don't have anything to do today, I'm just going with it...let's just hope I can get her to take it off in time for school tomorrow!
