Texas Time

On Christmas Eve we headed to Texas with Mimi and Aunt Hailey in tow.
Ben was a little sick at the time, but we had no idea that it would end up being a week full of really sick kiddos and a whole lot of crying. Such is life, right?

We started off the week with Papa and Aunt Amy. 
As soon as Max got there and saw the presents waiting he was ready for action!



Addie wanted to open presents too!

 Max just dives right into unwrapping.

 Ben takes off one tiny piece at a time.

 And sets it to the side.

 It takes forever.

 Emmie just hung out.

 Aunt Amy got the girls some Scarlettos!

Where's Emmie??

There she is!


 On Christmas Day Ben woke up from nap sounding worse than ever, super congested, and with a temp of nearly 104. So off to the ER we went. He got breathing treatments, steroids...and a popsicle to make everything better.


We didn't get to do as much as we would have liked because of all the sickness, but the boys did enjoy Build a Bear with their Aunt Amy. They are big fans of Super Bunny and Spider Bear.

Christmas in Mississippi

Before we headed to Texas for Christmas we had some fun opening gifts and seeing what Santa brought us right here at home. Mimi and Hailey brought us their gifts too, so Max and Ben were in toy wonderland!










Seeing what Santa brought...



 Max got a bat cave




 Ben got some blocks


And the girls got baby dolls

Santa keeps it simple round here...ha!

CMOM Day

On December 23, my mom and sister were in town so we ventured out with the kids to the Children's Museum of Memphis. I can't believe it took me over three years to get out there...it was so fun!
We had a great time, and I hope to go back soon.

All ready to go!
(Love Emmie's face)


 Attempting to get a shot of all four kiddos.

 Guess who just lost his paci?

 Aunt E and Ben


 He thought he was hot stuff on this motorcycle...

 Checking out the Grossology exhibit

 Officer Max


Climbing "the skyscraper"

 He went for it.

 Fishing...

 And this is when we decided Ben was done with the water area...yuck.

 This kid loves pushing a cart.

Giant Operation game time!
