Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning

I love the new traditions we have started as a family the past 2 years. We start Christmas Eve with taking Hannah Grace & Knox to see Santa with Aunt Kaye Kaye. Hannah Grace enjoyed seeing Santa this year, but isn't that in to him and was more excited about the candy cane she recieved. I am really glad she is not that into Santa and love that she is much more interested in the true meaning of Christmas. She loves hearing the story of Jesus birth and is obsessed with her nativity scene. She would play with it everyday and knows about all the wiseman, their gifts they brought, Mary and Joseph and the angel. The rest of Christmas Eve we spend together as a family and then go to our Christmas Eve service and have dinner afterward. It is such a nice relaxing time together and a good change from our busy, Christmas chaos in the past. We let the kids open presents the next morning and then pack up and head to Guntersville to celebrate with my family.

Christmas Part 2

Our next Christmas gathering was at our house with Clint's Moms side of the family. We all really missed her this Christmas and had many wonderful stories and memories to look back on from her life. Hannah Grace loved Aunt Kaye Kaye and "Uncle T" (that is what she named Uncle Tony) being at our house to entertain her constantly. We wish they lived closer!

Of course Knox needs an Alabama Jersey! How cute does he look :)

Loving the boxes :)

Christmas Part 1

So, I am way behind on posting, so there will be several posts in a row. We started off celebrating Christmas with Clint's Dads side of the family the week before Christmas. We went to his farm in Sylacauga and had a great time. Hannah Grace loved all the fun things she got to play with around the farm, that she doesn't have at our house :)

Thanksgiving

We had such a fun Thanksgiving at my parents lake house. It is always crazy with 5 kids under 3, but so much fun :) We ate a lot, played hard and watched a lot of football. So very thankful for my family!

Finally got a picture of the whole family

Love my boys :)

6 Months

Knox is almost 7 months, but I wanted to make sure I did a 6 month post. Wow, this boy keeps me busy!! He is on the move and doesn't stop. I catch him under tables, in the toy basket, eating magazines and putting everything in his mouth! He is such a happy baby and is always smiling :) He loves to eat and loves eating tons of baby food. He has definitely developed an attachment to his elephant lovey this month and needs it to sleep. He is army crawling and is sitting up so well. He can even sit up by himself from laying down. This is just so new to me, since Hannah Grace didn't move until around 9 months. Knox is still a big boy and at his 6 month appointment weighed 23 lbs and was 30 inches long! This puts him way off the charts for both. I just love our big smiley boy :)
