Christmas 2016!

I have realized the older the kids get the more fun and enjoyable it has become!

I actually told Tyler I hoped he cried...Im the bad mom who thinks these are the cutest pictures:)

I started this tradition with Tenlee for her first Christmas...they each get a new ornament each year. This year was fun because Tenlee wanted to go thru each one of hers and it was so special to see her favorite things over the years. 

I love these little people more than anything!!! 

Singing her first solo at our church's Christmas program

 pictures...and they were absolutely perfect!

Christmas Morning

She was so excited to get her very own red chapstick

She wanted a Dream Puppy so bad

My has done this every year since I can remember...wraps everything in 

different paper and will not put our names on them until we can get them correctly. 

It started out at 4 different ones and now it is up to 8 so it actually takes a little longer. 

Her very own easy bake oven

She made blankets for great grandma and grandpa Claxton

Way...too...much...stuff!!!:) 

Tucker is 18 Months Old

Roo is 18 months old!!! He can say Da, Wo, has said Ma Ma a few times, has said Do Do (for dog) just a couple times and just starting saying Ba (Bye Bye).

He can wave, give kisses, give high fives, hold your hand or his siblings hands, we call him our cup thief (he will literally steal every cup and drink it dry in the house). He loves mommy but is our one true daddy's boy, climbs EVERYTHING, doesn't like loud noises or me getting hurt. 

He is still taking 2 naps but he can go with just one afternoon nap but I still need him to take at least a short morning so I can catch up on some things. He goes to bed between 7:30-8 (sometimes earlier if he doesn't get a good nap in) and then wakes up when I am up and ready to get him. He is so content with just sitting or laying in his bed and being so patient. 

He is just now starting to sit and play with his toys and especially likes his tractors. 

 

 

 

 He is definitely my sensitive one and a lot of things 

scare him...including the car wash apparently. 

 

Getting his eyes checked

At his 18 month checkup..he weighed 25 pounds
