Christmas Pictures

I'm a little late in sharing these but I wanted to go ahead and document my babies in their Christmas outfits. It's still hard to believe that this was Lily's first Christmas. It just feels like we have always had her.






I think they are both all done with pictures at this point...

a fort

Marshall loves to build forts, I think all little boys do! My mom organized Operation Christmas Child at our church and there were a whole bunch of leftover boxes so she delivered them to our house for Marshall to have. He immediately knew what he was going to build. He built his fort and then asked if he could take his nap in it. He didn't sleep much that day but he was quiet.

Happy Birthday Lily

the rodeo

My mom and dad recently took the three older boys to the rodeo. Marshall was so excited to go see all the animals but even more excited about sleeping at Pop and Loni's with his cousins. He had his bag packed and was ready to go about 3 hours before his Pop and Loni were ready to take on all three boys. He waited and waited and when it was finally time to go he asked if he could walk down by himself since he is "so big." I sent him on his way then ran to call my dad and asked him to wait outside for him. I followed him with the camera but he kept turning around saying, "I don't need you, mommy. I can do it!" He looked so grown up!

kisses for daddy

Lily is a total love. She enjoys a good snuggle and every night before we put her in her crib she puts her head down and pats our shoulder. PRECIOUS! She has started giving kisses frequently. They are wet and messy but so sweet. I caught her trying to give her daddy some love. Scott is completely wrapped around this little girl's finger and he wouldn't have it any other way.

10 and 11 month pictures

The monthly picture is getting more and more difficult as Lily is interested in grabbing everything in sight. I'm lucky if I get her looking at the camera and the chalkboard all in the same shot. I can't believe this sweet girl will be one in less than a month. She has been the most perfect blessing to our family. The sweetest little girly touch we needed but didn't even know it! We love this precious girl.
