A Little More Merry Christmas

We had a few more get togethers over the holiday that I wanted to share with everyone! Our closest friends are Jason and Carrie Fore. Carrie, as most of you know, is my first cousin. It worked out wonderfully that she and I married friends. Jason and Ben went to school together and now we are all able to hang out all the time and somehow manage not to kill each other. HA Anyway, we had Christmas with the Fores and Uncle Charles (aka Uncle Tractor) and Aunt Judy - these are Carrie's parents - on Sunday, the 22nd. The four of them got Jack a John Deere Tractor with a trailer. For those of you who know my son, you understand that this was a HUGE deal!!

Jack on his new tractor (I know, the clothes are awful, but it was nap time, ya know?)

Jack and Uncle Tractor - For clarification b/c people have asked, the nickname arrived b/c Uncle Charles has a tractor that normally stays at my parent's house. We went from saying that it was Uncle's tractor to calling him Uncle Tractor, which of course is adorable. Not we say the tractor is Uncle Tractor's tractor! HA

Jack and Aunt Judy

I didn't get a picture of Jack with Uncle Jay Jay and Aunt Dee Dee so I just put these two up. I took them and I like them!!

That night, we got to spend some time with our close friends Timmy and Tara and their BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Piper (aka Jack's girlfriend)! We got to exchange gifts with them. The kids did not care ANYTHING about them as they were clothes (Tara and I go nuts at Pottery Barn and Crewcuts!!), but the moms really liked them a lot!! Can't wait until we're in our house and can have you guys over more. We love you Bulger Family!!

Jack and Piper (Aren't they going to make such pretty babies one day - both of them with those blue eyes and everything!!)

Another great treat over the holidays was getting to see one of my favorite familys - the Chandlers!! Sunny and Kevin used to be such a huge part of my every day life (Sunny and I lived together in Mobile) and I take MUCH credit in furthering their relationship! HA However, they had the audacity to move all the way to Florence, AL and I never get to see them anymore, but I digress! We didn't get to see Katy and Aubry as they could not be pulled away from Nana and Papa Jim, but we did get to see Lydia! She, like all the Chandler children, acted PERFECTLY while they visited. My child, however, became possessed by some horribly awful child and did not act anywhere in the vicinity of perfect or even GOOD!! So sorry Chandler family!! I promise he's not always THAT BAD! HA Anyway, we love you guys and anytime you would like to move closer to us so that we can actually see you sometimes, that would be marvelous!! So glad you could come by!! Kevin, we're waiting on our CD (for those of you who don't know, Kevin is a very talented musician and his band, Hello August will be releasing their first CD in January so look for it!!)

Aren't they the cutest family?!

Lydia and Jack

AND A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA....

I just couldn't NOT post this though I should be embarassed by it!! Unfortunately for my son, I'm not --

Can you BELIEVE I let my child wear this?!

This is what I really wanted to share. He's reading a book to his friends!! Too cute for mommy not to share!
