I always love the days after Christmas
because I can relax and I love
seeing my kids so happy playing
with their new toys.
Aunt Kitty & Uncle Ron
had dropped off gifts for the kiddos.
They really needed more presents
to open, ya know!!! ;)
As usual, the Merritts were RIGHT ON
target for my kids!!!
Also as usual, Hudson was
more into sister's gifts!
more into sister's gifts!
And come to think of it...brother & sister
were really into Hudson's gifts!!! ;)
Hudson would NOT get into that cute tunnel!
The game Headbanz was a BIG
hit around our house!
hit around our house!
Anything with a ball and especially a bat was
a big "hit" for the Huds!
Hudson started doing this funny face and
holding his arms out real tight...
it was EXACTLY like something Walker
used to do when he was this age.
We called it "scary face" with Walker.
But with Hudson when he would do it,
I'd always say, "Do it again!"...
so that's the way it became known as...
"Do It Again!!!"
I enjoyed the SWEETEST pedi EVER
with Hadlee's new polishes and nail dryer!
Headbanz! :)
Legos Legos Legos...
such my little engineer!!!!!!!!
I love me some "Shirtless" Pierce Boys!
This year I sent out two cards at Christmas.
This was one...
And this was the other...I just
wanted some way to thank everyone
for all of their love, support,
and prayers for Travis.
A VERY small token of my gratitude.
Also this year we added a little blue tree
for Hudson! He made his ornaments at
Mrs. Janice's and my mother bought him
his first Rudolph one! :)
Haddie Girl finally got her very own nutcracker...
Thank you, Grandmother!
My kids LOVE getting new ornaments
for their trees. Walker wanted to give
Hudson all of his baby ornaments...
like Thomas the Train, CARS, etc.
I had to encourage him to keep all of his
ornaments on his tree so they would be
memories and keepsakes for always!
We spent A LOT of time watching
this little girl ride her new bike outside!!!
Such a sweet, fun spirit...
We had to pull out last year's toys, too! ;)
Sometimes I wish I could freeze time...
this was one of those days!
Big Huds loves to play him some
basketball on Walker's goal!
I can't remember where Walker was this day...
probably off being a big time 8 year old!
AHHHH...there's my Big Boy Love!
Speaking of my big boy,
this very night was his first sleep over.
It was at Jonah's house.
Before he left and before I had even
mentioned taking his picture, he told
me NOT to "take his picture and
put it on Facebook!" ha!
My boy knows his mama!!!
He had a great time that night! :)
He had a great time that night! :)
While he was gone, sister and I
attempted the DQ Blizzard Maker
that Grandmother & PaPa got her...
per her very specific request!!!
Next time we will just go get
blizzards at Dairy Queen ;)))
I'm just saying!
Little Brother just a playing;)
Troy Jr. on his laptop!!!
I know more than anyone that "things" don't matter.
But I sure do enjoy watching my kids
having fun, exploring, and sometimes
even learning! :)
I have so much to be
thankful for in this life!
thankful for in this life!
