New Year

We had a busy and wonderful Christmas starting with Christmas Eve morning at our house. We did Christmas with my parents that afternoon, went to a candlelight service at Trinity, and had a feast at the Jones for dinner. Christmas morning we opened presents at the Jones and then headed to Opp for lunch with one grandmother and dinner with the other. Whew, it is crazy but so great to spend time with our families! Then we rang in the New Year at the best possible place-the beach! The Jones graciously took us all to the beach for a long weekend. I'm thinking we should make that a tradition :) AW loved playing in the sand, especially with a daddy and 2 kind uncles there to entertain her. Next up, AW's 3rd birthday party tomorrow!

All our presents loaded up to take to Montgomery

New basketball goal from Santa

Coming down the stairs Christmas morning!

Santa brought AW this Tigger and the new Winnie the Pooh movie. We probably watched it 10 times that weekend!

Don't you just love those blond curls coming out of the hat??

Loving being at my favorite place in the world-the beach!!!


Holes are so fun-thanks Uncle Rich!
AW modeling her wings and 2 bows (her new thing) and playing with Mommy's Christmas gift-a keyboard! I took piano for 6 years growing up and have really wanted to get back into it. So I am now in business with a keyboard and headphones so I can play during naptime. It is super relaxing, and I am loving it! Thanks Mom and Dad!!!
We finally got fed up with the paci-she was begging for it more than ever!- so one Sunday morning after church we went to Toys R Us and let her pick out a toy to sleep with instead of the paci. Her dad may have influenced her choice on this huge elephant (the National Championship game was the next day though he says that had nothing to do with it). It has been a bit rocky but overall the transition has gone much better than I expected-I am so thankful! Now when the new baby comes and pacis are back in sight it may be a different story. AW has also done great with potty training-such a big girl!
