New Year's Day we went to Cullman to spend the afternoon with the James family. Brandi cooked all the New Year traditional food. It was a delicious dinner. Thank you for inviting us! I think it is so great to get the kids together as much as possible! A wonderful way to start the new year off. I hope you all had a blessed first day of the year!
Lily Grace loves her Pop!
The day after Christmas we of course went shopping with Grandmommy. Then she came down to see all the goodies Lily Grace got for Christmas. Then she took Lily Grace back home with her for the weekend! It was so nice. Thank you Grandmommy! Marty and I got to spend some time together and have a "date day" in Prattville all day Saturday. We got to eat out, shop and watch a movie. It was wonderful but we still really missed Lily Grace!
After the movie, we went to spend the night in Berry. We finally got to do Christmas with my family! Lily Grace got a Barbie four wheeler from them! She loved it! She did not want to get off to open the rest of her presents. We should have saved the four wheeler for last! She knew exactly what to do and it was her first time to ride a "motorized" vehicle. She would push the button and fly. It was too cute!
We go see a movie every Christmas with my family. Grandmommy, Aunt Kirsten and Tucker met us there. It is always a fun tradition. While I was growing up, we were about the only people at the theaters on Christmas day. The past few years, it seems more and more people are starting to do it. This year the theater was packed!
This year Christmas was lots of fun! Lily Grace was so excited and it was such a blessing seeing her that way! It was definitely the best Christmas we have ever had! And we know each year will be even better than the last.
She got a basketball from Daddy. As soon as she opened it she said, "Catch Daddy!" How sweet!
She loves playing with her new kitchen! And you can see she got a Tickle Me Elmo in the picture above. We think he is hilarious to watch but Lily Grace gets so upset when he falls down. She keeps saying "Uh-oh!!" and tries to pick him back up but he won't stay up and it makes her so mad. Too funny!
