14 Weeks


This was two days before I turned 14 weeks. No, I'm not kidding. 
These babies aren't messing around.

Christmas Parade

Our town has an annual Christmas parade, and on our fourth Christmas in Mississippi I finally got to go! Our church had a spot in the parade, so Max got to ride on the float and Ben got in on the fun too. It was so much fun walking down the main street and town square waving to everyone, and Max had an absolute blast. He thought he was pretty big stuff riding the float with the "big" kids.

Getting ready to ride!

 Mike. The man with all the candy.


Clearly I put a lot of thought into my appearance for the evening...but it was a blast!

Santa Time


These pictures crack me up! We went to see Santa last weekend, and I count it a success. Ben didn't really know what was happening, and I think he was just wondering why this guy wasn't giving him a bottle. Max talked the whole way there about sitting on Santa's lap and giving him a hug. And telling him "Ho Ho Ho" of course. When he actually saw him, he got really nervous and shy. I think he was thinking about shedding a tear or two, but he held it together. And as soon as he was off his lap he told him "Merry Christmas" and couldn't stop talking about him the rest of the day!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was a whirlwind trip to Texas. We drove all day Wednesday, spent Thursday and Friday with family, and then drove back Saturday to be here in time for church. Although it was a short trip, we fit in a lot of fun, food, and family. I even did a little Black Friday shopping with my mom and sister...although I didn't make it past 11:00 Thursday night this year!

On Friday night, the whole family (my family and Mike's family...minus Ben) went to see the Rockettes Christmas show. I was a little worried about taking Max, but he loved it. He barely moved a muscle the whole time. With all the fun we had I still managed to take only one picture:


It's a long trip...but it's worth it!
