Christmas Morning

We had a really big Christmas this year (thanks to a lot of hand-me-down gifts!)

The kids loved all they got!

Walker got a 5 pound Hershey bar! He was in love...it is his favorite candy bar!

The girls loved their makeup stand and makeup!

After an early morning, Ivy fell asleep on the kitchen cabinets while she was helping Nana cook!

The Night before Christmas

Reese and Walker leaving a note and cookies for Santa. Afterwards we tossed out the reindeer food!

Ivy enjoyed the Christmas story.

The kids all snug in there beds!

McFarland Christmas

After church on Christmas day we all came back to Mom and Dad's for lunch. We had a great meal and then opened gifts. It was a great afternoon spent with family. The kids love being together.

Ivy loves Granny!

Reese and Addison got microphones...not a very good idea for the adults!

Walker and Nathaniel had a hard time waiting to open up the presents!

Meadows Christmas

Well, this picture says it all. Wayne's side of the family is beyond normal.

They might be crazy but we love being with them. Ma and Papa are so good to us and Bryan and Katie are great to be around. Christmas is always a lot of fun hanging out and goofing around.

Walker loved his first pair of Georgia boxers!

Ivy loved opening up presents. She would get so excited no matter what the gift.

After a long day it was nice to soak our feet in Aunt Katie's Christmas gift!!

Christmas Events

The month of December is full of Christmas Events. It seemed like we were always going to Christmas parties and events. It keeps us busy but we love it!

Reese making a Christmas tree at her preschool party!

Reese had a small Party with her ballet class and then performed for us. She did such a good job!

Walker signing at church.

Christmas at Granny's! All eight Great-Grand kids were there.

21 Months

Ivy is now 21 months and I finally took her to her 18month check up. She is 21 pounds and that puts her in the 10% for weight. She is in the 50% for Height. She is one crazy girl who is always into everything. Her favorite thing to do right now is unwrap the Christmas presents under the tree. You would think after the third present we would learn and just put the present up, but we haven't. She also loves to do whatever her big sister Reese does. She is not saying much but that is what to expect with two older siblings.

Walker's First Deer

Walker shot his first deer on Thursday! He was one excited little boy. It was just a little button buck deer but it didn't matter to him. He shot it from up in a deer stand sitting with Wayne. When Walker called to tell me he started signing "Tonight's going to be a good night, tonight is going to be a real good night" (made me laugh)

Both Grandpa's were very proud of him!

Babies!!

Patty will get me for posting this because she hates pregnant photos but she will have to get over it. I love having a sister that is pregnant with me. Just knowing they are experiencing the same stuff in fun!!

Me-23 weeks...Baby Boy

Patty-31 weeks...Baby Boy

Breakfast with Santa

We had breakfast with Santa this past Saturday with our Sunday School class. The kids enjoyed seeing some of their friends but didn't care to much about seeing Santa. We enjoyed some great food and our time spent as a family!

Reese and Ivy didn't want anything to do with Santa and Walker kept telling me "He's not real"

The kids enjoyed listing to the Christmas story.

My Girls!!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Somehow I deleted all my pictures from Thanksgiving. I didn't have that many but I hate that it happened. This picture was taken the Sunday before. As you can tell, these three really do love one another. We are so thankful for them!

Fun Run

The PTA at Walker's school hosted a fun run to raise money this year instead of selling stuff. Walker had to raise pledges for each lap he would run. It was a beautiful but cold day and Walker ended up running 35 laps! He had a great time running with all his friends.

One funny story...There was a water station out for the kids and I noticed that walker started stopping on every lap to get water. About afters 3 cups of water, Walker headed my way with a thumbs up shouting "Mom, There's FREE refills" He was one excited boy!

Walker's Class

Walker on the far left walking a lap with his friends!

He would run so hard, like it was a race!

Preschool Thanksgiving

Reese had an exciting Thanksgiving at her school. I was able to spend the day with her class helping out and truly enjoyed it. They got to make lots of fun crafts and ended the day with a large feast. We are so thankful for such a great school!
