The Month of Birthdays

December bombards us with birthdays!  This December we will celebrate;
- Scarlett on December 3rd 
- Adaline on December 13th (her actual birth); my BFF, CJ too
- Brooks on December 15th 
- Jesus on December 25th
- Ramsey on December 27th
- Dad on December 30th 

So it's quite a busy month!! Especially for the wallet :)

The kiddos saw Santa at mommy's school.  Brooks told him he wanted a scooter and RJ said he wanted a candy cane and Smarties! 

My incredibly handsome boys!

Scarlett's 1st Birthday Party!

 

I love the way Eden is studying her cousin here!

 Brooks' partner at a birthday party, Maddie!  His teachers said he is always a gentleman (LOL)!

And this little guy insisted on wearing this to school!

 Brooks celebrated his 5th birthday at the coveted Chuck E. Cheese

I can't believe this little guy is already 5 years old!  He makes me proud with his love of life.  The best way to explain it is that his light burns extra bright.  He loves to share his fun and exciting thoughts with others.  He makes everyone happy with his contagious smile, laugh, and witty conversations! 

I was so proud when Brooks shared the ticket blaster with his little brother.  I'm pretty sure it was the main reason he wanted a party there, and he was more than willing to split that time with RJ!

Brooks has been asking for this "Flip-a-do" for weeks!  It changes between a tiger and an elephant and he has slept with it every night!

Mommy and Daddy also gave Brooks the "Pie Face Game" and he loves every second of it!

And here is my beautiful new niece, Adaline Ruth

 Brooks got his UGA hat too and loves it!

At Least She's Not 8 Months Yet!

So... to say I'm behind on blog posts is an understatement.  At the same time, life has been beautifully busy.  I finished my Specialist degree, passed the GACE assessment, planning for birthdays and holidays, and trying to enjoy the daily chaos!  

This is Brooks at his Thanksgiving play.  He did a wonderful job, and was the only student to have a solo line.  He was the Pilgrim Minister and said, "Praise God!" with lots of enthusiasm! Below is Brooks and Zoey Fouch (yes, he calls her by first and last name).  These two just adore each other!

The boys and I enjoyed decorating the tree together.  They were so excited to hang the ornaments that were made for them!  Everyone they picked up they would ask, "Does this have my name on it?"

5 Stockings... our family is complete!! 

Our precious baby sister! 

Here's my girl- 7 months old! The pics were taken on time, I just didn't post them on time.  Now here we are 1 week shy of 8 months and she just cut her first tooth!

We had a great time on Thanksgiving!  Eden adorned both her beautiful outfits, 1 turkey outfit that was spit up all over and 1 beautiful smock thereafter.  The boys enjoyed making brownies with their LaLa! 

Is it obvious I enjoy dressing up this little one and making her smile?

And this handsome guy!  We actually bought this hat as a Christmas present, but he was there and wanted to wear it right away.  He didn't take it off all day!

 All

All dressed up and ready for church!
