Christmas Morning

 Daddy giving the run down on what's going to happen and then saying Santa didn't come..haha!

 Can you tell he's excited?!

 The look on his face here is priceless!!  He just saw that Santa left underwear in his stocking!!

 She's a happy girl!

 And this is what Brantley did for most of the day

 

Oh Christmas morning...It's so magical!!  The kids had a blast and got everything that they wanted and more.  They are so fun to watch!  They are by far the best ages for Christmas.  I just love how excited they are and the joy in their little eyes.  

Christmas Eve 2012

 Not sure what is up with Brantley's smiles this night but they sure are cheesy! All dressed up and ready for the party! (Love it!)

 All of the grand kids minus Cody on the St.Jeor side

 Opening up their one and only present for the night...JAMMIES!!

 

Ending the night watching Christmas Vacation

 

 

 

So this year Christmas Eve was just like every year.  We head over to the St.Jeor's for an amazing dinner, open up the kids jammies and hang out tell it's time to go home to go to bed.  I just love this night.  The kids are all so excited and going crazy.  It is such a magical night!  I just love Christmas time and everything that goes with it.  Watching my two beautiful kids full of the Christmas spirit just makes it so much better and one of my favorite times of the year.  

Brantley's Christmas Party

 

So I was lucky enough to be able to help out in Brantley's school class Christmas party this year!  It really was so much fun to see him in class and to help out even if it was a little crazy!  I was only able to get a couple of pictures though but they made Christmas trees made out of sugar cones, made 5 little snowmen ornaments, played games and read a Christmas story.  What a fun day and great way to end their last day of school in 2012!  

First Lost Tooth!!

 

 

So Brantley finally lost is first tooth just a couple of days before Christmas!!  He was so excited about this!  It had been loose for 4 months and he just wouldn't let us pull it and to be honest it really wasn't ready to be pulled.  But finally we were able to get that little thing out with just a little bit of a twist.  I've got to admit it though I was just as excited as he was and I was the lucky one who got to pull it out.  He was mostly excited about the fact that the tooth fairy was going to come that night.  Although he was a little weirded out with the thought of a little fairy coming into his room at night so we got this little tooth pillow with a ribbon on it and hung it on his door so that the tooth fairy didn't have to come into his room.  When he woke up is was excited that she gave him $2.00 instead of the $1 that he thought he would get (all his friends had told him that they got a $1 so we ran with it!!) since it was his first tooth and she let him keep it just this one time.  What a nice tooth fairy!    :-) 

Train decorating

So this year instead of decorating a gingerbread house we found this awesome little kit and made a rice crispy treat train!  It was so easy to make and to decorate and the kids really liked doing it better then the gingerbread house.  Turned out so cute!!

Brantleys first concert in Kindergarten

Can I just say that I just LOVE Brantley's teacher this year?  She is such a great teacher and is soo good with Brantley and he is learning soo much!  Brantley tells me that he really likes her too cause she is goofy just like him.  She is a perfect match for him!  She did this program with her kids to show us parents what our kids have been learning and it sure was a lot of fun to watch.  Brantley did so good!  He really got into it and we just loved watching him. 

 

Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween Lilley was a peacock and Brantley was Harry Potter(of course)! They were both so cute and so into it! Lilley I think was more into it then Brantley even was.  It was such a great night. 

 

Lilley posing...got to love it!

And of course Brantley with his silly faces.

Aren't they both so cute?!
