Putting up the Tree!

It snowed so much over the weekend that it felt like Christmas already! Charlotte and I watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and decorated the tree while Daddy was out hunting.

Helping me put the tree together! We learned the hard way to not have a real tree with the dogs (Drake peed all over the tree one year!). 

She kept taking the ornaments off so I finally gave her the ornaments without hooks and she placed them on the branches to help decorate! She loves looking at the tree all lit up! Now we just have to make sure she doesn't unwrap the presents once they are under the tree!! We had a great weekend together.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We went to Nana & Papa's house for Thanksgiving this year. It was a fun couple of days getting to see the whole family. Aunt Jenni, Uncle Merlyn and Aunt Jessica came up all the way from Nashville too!

 

She has her own crib and bedroom at their house! She slept so good except for one night Mommy had to sleep with her because she wasn't feeling good. She is getting her canine teeth in. We decided to do an early Christmas with the Nashville family since we won't see them for Christmas. Charlotte loved seeing all the lights on the tree and she actually got into unwrapping her gifts!! She got an adorable outfit, a cute little necklace and a new tea set! She had a great time playing with her cousin Mason too. She was his shadow. They would chase each other and she would watch him play games on his leapster.

 

It was so unseasonably warm on Thanksgiving day that we went outside to play basketball. Papa and Daddy lifted her up to make shots! She had so much fun. (picture are dark, taken on my phone, sorry!)

Opening her gifts from the Aunts!

After a couple days at Nana & Papa's house, we went to Grandma & Grandpa LeClair's house for another Thanksgiving feast! Charlotte had a blast playing with her cousin Isaac!

Getting into Grandma's tupperware drawer!

Playing peek a boo in Grandma's Curtains.

We had such a great time with family and friends! So thankful we could all get together!

Cousins

This past Saturday we had Jen from Ruby Photography take some photos of Charlotte and Isaac for Christmas cards and a couple of them together since we haven't had any since Charlotte was 6 months old and Isaac was only a month old. Unfortunately, Charlotte wanted nothing to do with Isaac, which I guess is better than last time when all she did was smack him in the face! She is definitely a spoiled princess. She wanted to be the center of attention and when she wasn't, she refused to be photographed near Isaac! At least we were able to get a couple good pictures. I wish there was snow on the ground for the pictures however I'm not complaining that it's been warmer than normal for this time of year. Here are a couple of the proofs from the photo shoot.
