Christmas Eve at Papa and Nana's

Our next stop on Christmas Eve was Papa and Nana's house. I had more presents to open! They got me the Leap Frog Tag Jr. Reader. I've been having lots of fun playing with it!














Gabe and I had fun playing with Lily's presents.














Nana read us a story. I have a feeling next year we might not fit in her lap!














Aunt Mistie and Lily!

















Mommy, Aunt Mary, and their boys! Aunt Mary is due 4 weeks after Mommy is.

Christmas Eve at Suzy and Grandaddy's

Our first Christmas celebration was at Suzay and Grandaddy's house on Christmas Eve. This year I was really into opening my presents!














I love this keyboard that they gave me. It does so many cool things, including recording me singing in the microphone.














Aunt Katie, Uncle Rob, and Mommy




















Mommy, Daddy, and Nate. He'll be here before we know it!















Group shot!

Before Christmas Playdates

In the weeks leading up to Christmas I had some great playdates with some of my best buds. Here are Lauren, Ian, and I in front of Lauren's tree.














I went to Avery's house too and we had a great time coloring!














After we colored, Lauren, Avery, and I had a blast jumping off of the stairs (don't you love my face in this pic, I mean, it takes a lot of effort to jump off of one step)!














Back for more!















I love my Ian!

Busted!

There's nothing really exciting to say about this picture. Mommy just thought it was funny and really likes my Christmas shirt from last year (and the fact that it still fits this year!). She was trying to be sneaky and snap some shots of me playing with my animals and I caught her!

School Christmas Party

Today was my last day of school before the Christmas break and we had a party. Mommy even got to come to the party. Here I am about to enjoy my 1st juice box ever (yep, I'm deprived). Mommy learned a neat trick, if you pull the corners up the juice won't come out if you accidentally squeeze too hard.













All of the food was so good!














I got some Christmas tattoos on my hands and my cheek.

This is my class with our teachers, Ms. Kelle, and Ms. Carla. I love them! We're all wearing the Christmas tree shirts that we made with our handprints. I was too busy examining my tattoos to look at the camera!

Trip to Virginia

For Thanksgiving break we went to Virginia to visit Gran Ran and Uncle Rob. We had a great visit!














Our family. We have a lot to be thankful for!














Daddy, Mommy, and Baby Nate















Uncke Rob hasn't forgotten how to be a kid. I had so much fun playing with his old cars and trains with him!














Uncle Rob snuggling with his 2 favorite girls, me and his dog, Jenny.
















Gran and I wanted to get a picture with Jenny, but she pulled an Anna and escaped!














Daddy and I reading a story before bed on night.

Thanksgiving at Papa and Nana's

Before we headed to Virginia we celebrated Thanksgiving at Papa and Nana's. Gabe and I got to sit at our own little table this year!

We still love to pull each other around in the wagon and now Lily can ride in the wagon too.

Nana made us these cute reindeer shirts! Getting a good picture of the 3 of us was a challenge (and yours truly was the most challenging)!

It's a boy!!

We found out this morning that Anna is going to have a little brother! Most importantly, everthing looked great on the ultrasound. The little guy was moving around so much and measuring right on schedule. We're pretty sure that his name is going to be Nathan Robert Brookshire. We're so excited and can't wait to experience life with one of each!!

More Disney Pics- Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM)

After the character breakfast we spent some time exploring Hollywood Studios. I found Rocket!














And look who it is again...Leo (and Annie)! I was much friendlier once my tummy was full!















I LOVED the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.















I went down this slide made from a giant roll of film a bunch of times.

These tree stumps make music when you walk on them.

Halloween

We'll get the rest of our Disney pictures up sometime this week, but I wanted to share some pictures from Halloween first. I was very excited about going trick-or-treating this year, unfortunately the weather put a little bit of a damper on our plans. We did make it to a few houses on our street though. Oh, and yes, that's Daddy dressed as a penguin. Aunt Katie brought her penguin costume over and we talked him into trying it on.













I was Minnie Mouse this year!













I was my usual uncooperative self about getting my picture taken. I just have something against looking at the camera.




















I think Daddy must have really liked being a penguin. He sure looks happy!
















Family picture... one of these days we'll get one where everyone is looking at the camera!













Mack, being the curious dog that he is, stuck his head onto my treat bucket to see what he could find and his head got stuck. Of course, we had to get a picture before helping him out!













Getting ready for trick or treating with my friends Emma Rose (the ladybug) and Grayson (Tigger). I'm pointing out where I think the best candy is!













Grayson, Ms. Paula, and Anabelle.















Ms. Dawn had some great goody bags for us!
















Woah, I just saw a big (pretend) spider up there. From inside Mr. Duwayne was making it go up and down. I was scared!












Aunt Katie came over to go trick or treating with us!
















After a few houses we were all getting cold and wet, so we headed back to our house.

Emma Rose and Anabelle were surprised when a penguin answered our door. Anabelle wasn't so sure she wanted to go any closer!

Enjoying some chicken nuggets and applesauce with my friends. The perfect thing after such hard work trick-or-treating!
