And there is more...

As if I have not posted enough pictures from Christmas, here are a few more I wanted to share with you from this past month. So much of Hardy's personality showed up this month, and it seemed like every day I was running to get the camera to snap another picture to capture the moment. As you will see, our little man plays hard and sleeps hard! What a fun month with Hardy!

Hardy's FIRST Christmas

Hardy's first Christmas was an absolute delight! We started the day by seeing what Santa brought and opening gifts from CC and Papaw. Funny story about Santa...as Mr. Dane was catching the moment on video, I accidentally said, "and look at this toy we got you." Kyle shouted, "Rookie!" Guess you could say I'm new at this! Hardy enjoyed ripping the paper off the gifts, and then it would go straight to his mouth. It was fun to watch him with his new toys. You can already tell which ones are going to be his favorites. After opening presents, we went to Bull and Peggie's for lunch and more gifts! We spent the evening relaxing and enjoying time as a family. What a wonderful Christmas! It was certainly more than I could have asked for or imagined!

Christmas morning...waiting to
see what Santa brought Hardy!

Taking it all in

Hardy may already have this figured
out...it looks like he is saying, "thanks Mommy."

Fascinated with his baseball toy

"What you got in that stocking?!?"


Ready to take a spin on the wheel

"Whoa...too many toys."

Merry Christmas!

Opening presents from CC and Papaw



"I love Christmas!"

"Did you get this for ME?!?"

Playing with Papaw



Apparently, Peggie bought a giant roll of poinsetta
wrapping paper that was used for years.
Aunt Cathy found some again!


Bull kept asking for us to give him a
piggy bank for Hardy. We found
the perfect one!

Gonna have to teach Hardy that this
deserves a big smile!


Long day

Laughing at Papaw

First Christmas was a win for Hardy!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Merry Christmas!!!
