O Christmas Tree

Now that football season and Thanksgiving have come and gone, it is time for Christmas!!! I absolutely love everything about Christmas, and I love that on Hardy's first Christmas we started the tradition of buying a real tree. We went to pick out our tree on Sunday evening, and Hardy had a great time. He really enjoyed watching the worker cut the trunk of the tree. Oh the things that fascinate little boys! It took us a few days, but the tree is fully decorated and standing in all its glory. I just love waking up in the morning and looking at our lovely tree as I sip on a cup of coffee. Such a beautiful sight to behold. I think our tree has another admirer this year! So glad that the the most wonderful time of the year has arrived!

Hotty Freeze Toddy

What a fun year to be a REBEL!! While going to the Grove and attending the games was much different this football season with a busy toddler and being rather pregnant towards the end, I still had a grand time and I sure did enjoy all those WINS! It's safe to say I am a big fan of Coach Freeze not only because it feels good to win, but his character and what he is striving to instill in his players is pretty admirable. I do think the Lord is going to use him in a mighty way at Ole Miss. Great season, sad to see it end, but glad to have some time to rest up before baby girl arrives in two months! Football season next year will only be crazier…two little ones! I'll be lucky if I make it to a game! Hotty Toddy!

Thanksgiving

Kyle, Hardy, and I headed up to Memphis on Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with his family. I always enjoy visiting the Coles because I find their home so relaxing. I curl up on their big comfy couch and can waste away the hours. Of course, not as many hours as I use to now that I have little Hardy! Kyle's family tradition is to have Thanksgiving lunch at Cracker Barrel. I found this rather amusing when they first told me years ago, but I have come to love this tradition. Nobody has to cook, the food is delicious, and it is tradition!  We also always wear pilgrim hats that Mrs. Cyndi makes for all of us, and every year a waitress will ask why we are wearing them. It is just good old fashion fun! Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with family and fun and that your tummy was filled with lots of turkey!

He looks a little nervous in this picture,
but by the fourth one he was loving the paint.


Good thing we took his shirt off!

Thrilled about his new kicks from CC!

He literally took off running right
after I took this picture.

Checking out the escalator

Oh what fun!
