My Little Performer

Love the upside down sunglasses. That's my girl.

Visiting Andrew (Chad and Melody, too!) hee hee

So, we went to Memphis.

Grandma, Aunt Nancy, Christina, AJ, Bella and Myself.

We packed up the van, Aunt Nancy drove all the way and back. No stopping.

Bella was hot and panted the entire way there. (got her meds for the trip home and she was fine)

The babies slept most of the way so it wasn't bad. Christina did say "Mommy. Mommy." a LOT. It went like this.

"Mommy"

"Yes, Christina?"

"Mommy"

"Yes, Christina. I'm right here. What do you need?"

"Mommy"

"Christina...how can I help you?"

"Mommy"

ugh. It still happens...but it's not as hard to take on the short rides from home to Virginia and back!

LOL -- she's cute beyond words. I guess she knows that.

AJ was amazing in the car. He didn't eat well during the trip, but it was okay. Once we got there we met Melody and Andrew at home. He was SO cute. I was so happy to see him. We got to go and meet Chad for lunch at Chili's and that was wonderful and yummy!

Christina and Andrew had such a wonderful time playing. They were so precious together. He got a new tent for his birthday from Antzy and Chad put it together and they had the BEST time in it! Dad came over to visit and meet the babies for the first time while we were there. It was so wonderful and sad at the same time.

We really had no problems sleeping at night...AJ and Christina were wonderful. I hope to go back again in 2010. Here are just a few of the cute pics from the trip. There are a ton more that Melody took and on my shutterfly.

Christmas Card Photo Session

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Annual Christmas Tree Trimming Party

Every year we gather at Mom and Dad's house to set up the tree. This year we got snow and Mom tried to cancel the party...but we showed up anyway! LOL Here is AJ with the toys - he really didn't participate in the decorating.

Girls waiting for Mom to hand them ornaments to put on the tree.


Before decorating and lunch, Ashley takes Christina out in the snow.


AJ excited to be with Mom :-)

Here are a few shots from before the party at Grandma and Aunt Nancy's house. So sweet...I love these pictures!

Time for CHRISTMAS decorations and the TREE!

AJ wanted the crayons more than the Little People Christmas Village!


Christina caught on fast how to decorate the tree!


The both LOVED the Hallmark Snowmen...had a blast playing them over and over and over and over and over and over again!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had Thanksgiving 3 times this year...it's wonderful. We spent time at Nena's house, Ronda's house and at the Memphis house. Great food...wonderful family...amazing memories.

AJ Loves his Grandma...he's so tired.


Aunt Nancy and Andrea weren't wanting to have their picture taken...thank you Grandma!


Rachel put in her bow and threw on her sweater for a photo op...she's a natural!


Love from her big cousin.

Grabbing on to Daddy's legs...too many people!
