MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Well, Addison did it! She finally sat on Santa's lap. She loves to talk about Santa but when she sees him in person she freaks out. We kept going to the mall and showing her Santa and each time she said she didn't want to go near him. This particular day she decided to go for it and she did very well. Not one tear! What a big girl. She's even holding his thumb. Of course, you can see in her face she's thinking, "How much longer, mama? I want off his lap." She's growing up so fast.
I am so happy to announce a special gift our family just received this Christmas...TWINS!!!! My brother's wife, Janet, just gave birth to a boy and girl this past weekend. Benjamin Douglas (5 lbs, 7 oz, 19 inches long) and Samantha Emma (6 lbs, 9.5 oz, 18 inches long) were born Saturday, December 22nd. Congratulations Kevin and Janet! I can't wait to see them. We're headed to Los Angeles this Wednesday to spend the holiday and meet our new little family members. Pictures will be coming soon. Stay tuned..........
I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!!

Our First Cruise ~ Destination: Cozumel, Mexico

Ryan and I went on our first cruise from Mobile, Alabama to Cozumel, Mexico. We were able to get some good R&R. Ryan's parents took care of our little girl, Addison, while we were away. Thank you Karen and Glenn.
AAAWWWW.
The drinks were very good....a little too good. :)
I had to take this picture of Ryan during the drill. Doesn't he look adorable?
I ate alot of ice cream. YUM!

Our Mexican roadtrip

While in Cozumel, we rented a jeep and explored the island. We had a great day!





Beautiful stops on our road trip.

Our Fairy Princess at Halloween - Trick or Treating







The Naughty Chair

We had to add the Naughty Chair because the terrible two's have started a little early. This is Stage One: Being sent to the chair in the corner. Addison was not being kind.
Stage Two: Mama or Daddy talk to her about what she did wrong and why.
Stage Three: Must give us a hug to say sorry in order to leave the chair.
