Beginning to Feel A Lot like Christmas!

I am off today..yay!! And All next week! I am very excited for some down time and look forward to time with friends, family, Craig, Charlie! Also looking forward to some Christmas baking and cooking!
Today we are going to my good friend Kathleen's house. She is having our high school friends over with hubbies and babies for brunch, it will be great to see everyone!

A few weekends ago Craig's dad (Derby/Grandaddy), Bonna (BonBon) and Margy came in town to celebrate Christmas (since we will not be able to drive up to Alexandria where they will be hosting the Kingrea Christmas, it was sweet of them to come here). We had a fun time! They gave Charlie a very cool Schwinn bike that he loves!! Every morning he runs up to it and says "oh wow" gets on it and rings the bike bell.

Grandaddy also gave charlie a recordable Christmas book- Twas the night before Christmas and we read it every night.

Cool Uncle Tommy gave Charlie this cool hat! Charlie loves saying "Hat"

Oh Wow- ho ho!

 We also did the Mott Christmas last week at my Aunt Linda and Uncle Wade's house (my mom's side of the family). SO fun! We played dirty Santa with the ladies while the men watched football. Charlie loved playing with his cousins (my cousin's kids). Charlie also got his hair chopped off, i was so sad! It was his 4th haircut and Craig really wanted it shorter and I gave in- don't ask me why- now Charlie looks so old!!

And had to post this! Hilarious! Aunt Molly and Uncle Clay before our Ugly Sweater party at the Barkerdings house! Molly can't look ugly if she tried- she even looks cute in an ugly sweater outfit. how funny that they used this for their christmas card.

A Disney Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful week in Disney!! We honestly did not know what to except with Charlie only being 15 months old and me 7-1/2 months pregnant but is was wonderful! He did great on his first plane ride and told eveeerryone Hi on the plane!
Charlie just LOVED Disney and so did we! We spent long days at the parks, from watching plays and Safari ride at Animal Kingdom, It's a small world and Dumbo Ride (Charlie's very favorite) at Magic Kingdom to seeing Donald Duck and Santa & traveling around the world at Epcot. We also went to the very Awesome Osborne Light Show at Hollywood Studio's and watched the fireworks and electrical parade at Magic Kingdom. He is just such a happy boy! It was so nice to spend that time with my parents and Charlie and it will be something we will remember forever (although Charlie will not- we have pictures to show).
