Holly Wild Petting Zoo

Once we got through the craziness of the free roaming animals, we made it to the petting zoo area. Marshall was much more comfortable when the animals were behind a fence. I can't say I blame the kid. He loved wandering around and watching people feed the animals. He didn't quite get up the courage to feed the goats or deer himself. He was much more content to watch.

Jack LOVES animals and was fearless around them. I was nervous the camel was going to get a few fingers along with the food Jack was feeding him, fortunately Jack came home with all of his digits. At one point he did say, "He's a little hand eater!"






Marshall wanted to give it a try but chickened out within a few inches of the deer's mouth.

Thank you, Staci! Thank you!

They say something about revenge being sweet. I think this may be payback for all the years of treats and sweets I gave Sam and Jack.

What's Christmas without a little fun in a box?

all this excitement...

for his new shopping cart! He quickly started saying, "riye" (ride). He had a blast with his daddy being pushed around Pop and Loni's house in his new cart.

3 cute and crazy cousins...

Just gotta love these sweet boys.








they are crazy...I especially like how Sam is trying to push Marshall's face so that he looks at the camera yet he is looking in the wrong direction. :)

Christmas at the Crawfords

We had our family Christmas yesterday morning. I thought it was going to be a total bust when Marshall started to heave at the breakfast table. He only threw up the tiniest bit and we realized it was because a piece of his cinnamon roll got stuck on the roof of his mouth. What can I say, the kid has got my gag reflex. Anyway, the day turned out great and we had so much fun watching the little guy open his presents. We could have stopped after his first stocking stuffer. It was a bath toy and he loved it. We seriously could have spent the five dollars on that one toy and called it a Christmas. I had to hide it so that he would open a few more things.

I have included a few pictures of our "Christmas morning."

Getting ready to open presents. Scott told him to smile, this is the best we could get!


His favorite toy. The net with bugs to catch in the tub.


This was his next favorite. He calls it a "tar." His cousin has this guitar and Marsh has always loved it. When he opened it he kept signing "thank you" to us. So sweet.


lookin' like a true rock star!
