Christmas 2008

These shots are of the girls "trying" to pose for our Christmas card. They were awful. I was sweating by the end of it. I finally gave up! December kept us busy. Celia Grace had her class party, Brian had his company party, and to top off the craziness we had lots of travel to see family. But we had a great time. And Santa was very good to us. We are truly blessed.

Olivia Catherine turns 1!!

Olivia turned One on December 7th! Time truly does fly. She is such little sweetie.

Thursday Morning

Nothing exciting to report. I just really liked this picture of Celia Grace and Brian. After I get her dressed, brush her hair, fix her hair, make her breakfast, pack her snack-all before 7:30, Celia Grace sits at the bar and eats her breakfast while she watches Noggin. Mommy runs around trying to get dress, putting on make-up, drink coffee, check email, wait on Olivia to wake up, feed Olivia, dress Olivia, pack Olivia's bag, etc, etc, etc. Daddy gets to wake up and get himself showered and dressed and walks out the door. But before he leaves, he comes in and gives all his girls a kiss. We sorta send him off on his way.

Did I mention he only has to get himself dressed?

Ole Miss 41

Memphis 24

Brian and I went to the first Ole Miss game of the season. We were so excited, but we were probably more excited that we had a babysitter!

My brother, Ray, came down from Nashville with 3 of his friends. It was great seeing him!

First Day of Dance

Celia Grace started two classes this year. The first class is Tap and Ballet. Second class is gymnastics. We're not sure if she loves it just yet. We'll see how the year goes. She wouldn't smile for me in this picture until I told her to say, "Ben!" (her boyfriend that lives next door)

First Day of School

Celia Grace started 4k! She loves her school and her teachers!

Thumb Sucker

Celia Grace has sucked her thumb since 4 months. We tried and tried to get her to take a pacifier, but nothing is better than a thumb. She is almost 4 1/2 years old and still loves her thumb. We make her take it out of her mouth in public, but we can't always catch her. On this particular morning, she thought she should share with her baby sister, Olivia.
