Head Christmas

 The granddaughters and our sweet sweet Granny!

 It started like this, not sure what Uncle Kenneth is doing...

 And then more people just kept dog piling, Austin is still somewhere back there!  Ha!  Love these people :)

 When I say Heath LOVES Granny, it is an understatement.  And she adores him.  He always sits in her lap and is perfectly content to just hang with her for a while like that.  

This is Aunt Trish's very obese dog, Sally.  Hollynn decided Sally was her new horse and as you can see, Sally could care less!

The kids got a gift all together at Granny's.  They got a very nice set of dvd players for the car.  They will hook to the head rest and can play the same movie or a separate one. 

I didn't take any pics of Christmas morning, when we exchange gifts.  The kids only had one gift to open a piece because they had a trampoline waiting on them outside.  Hudson attempted a trip outside but was quickly back in from the cold!  I'm pretty excited about the trampoline too :)

Gotcha' Day

 Have I ever mentioned how goofy our oldest is??  V.E.R.Y.

This pic. is a little blurry, but I don't care, my Aunt Deb. snapped it on Christmas Day.  I'm so glad my boy still climbs in my arms and lets me kiss on him, I know it won't be like this forever.  I was telling him that he was the best Christmas present I've ever received!

It sure doesn't feel like 4 years ago since I first became a Mama!  Hudson Luke seriously makes me smile all the time.  He is so stinkin' cute and funny and sincere and he just makes me proud!  Proud to be his Mama! 

On the 27th, we were interviewed by News Channel 2 about all of the things going on in Russia with the closings of adoptions.  It breaks my heart that Russia has closed it's doors on American adoption, I pray this is very short lived.  After our interview and nap time we went to Panera and Chuck E Cheese.  It was their first time at Chuck E Cheese and they all loved it.  He was very excited about his gotcha' day!

Attebery Christmas

 Casey bought these pics for the boys while we were in Moscow and had them framed for them, I love it and love that they will have them forever!

 Casey also had this made for me, which I must admit was PERFECT since we don't wear shoes in the house at all :)

 I love this, you have no clue how much time I spent crawled up into that same lap and seeing my kids do the same thing and loving on one of my favorite women in the whole entire world just melts me!

 This started out as a hug and a kiss on the cheek then somehow ended up in a head lock and then turned to WWF! 

Gross!

We had a blast at our house on Christmas Eve.  Of course they racked up, Hudson's fav. from this go around was a remote control helicopter, and the 2 little ones both got leap from computers and black berries, and Hollynn got a doll that cries, babbles, etc. 

Christmas at Grandad's and Grandmom's

 Grandmom got some really cute hats that the kids have been wearing around the house!

We had our tradition of breakfast for lunch (which I love) and the kids racked up on goodies.  Heath got some cool lego trucks, Hollynn got a really cute high chair for her babies, and Hudson got a helicopter that he has really enjoyed, amongst many other toys. 

December Fun

 Hollynn and I had our first pedicures, it was girls day and we had a lot of fun!  I hope to make doing stuff like this a tradition of ours. 

 Pinterest idea, making Christmas trees out of sugar cones, icing, and candy!  The LOVED it!

 Notice Hollynn has green and Hudson the red.  Hollynn seems to be allergic to red food coloring, it has not been a pretty site when she has it!

 I was vacuuming one day and didn't hear anything, never a good sign, I found Hollynn with a green sharpie and Heath proudly wearing his new tats! 

We are free will baptists however we do enjoy dancing quite often :) 

Merry Christmas!

 Check out Hollynn's morning hair!  I literally got them all out of bed and parked them in front of the tree :)

Hollynn's Birthday Party

 These 2 are from her actual birthday.  They get to choose what they want for supper and she requested blueberry pancakes.  I love how she is blowing her candles out while holding on to the bacon! HA!

 Aunt Casey made her dog cake, which is also what she wanted.  She LOVES any animal especially dogs and cats.

 Our house was quite packed with family for her party.

 Aunt Trish or should we say "Ain't Tish"

 She loves her Aunt Casey!

And I had to share this one.  Hudson picked this out for her and paid for it with his own money.  She was so proud of it!
 I realize how bad of a mom I am becoming, or maybe I should say, I realize just how busy I am.  These are the only decent pics I took at her party.  I think last year I had 3x's this and before she came along, Hudson I'm sure had at least 100 at his parties.  I have got to get my camera out more!!

Yes, Halloween Pics in Dec.

 We had the pink dragon...

 the dragon trainer...

and the green dragon!

I'm obviously really behind.  My camera battery died and we had no clue where the charger was so I had to order a new one.  So, yes, I am posting Halloween pics in Dec.!
