Happy New Year!

My hearts

Eaves Family Christmas

Christmas continued on Christmas Day with an Eaves Family Christmas in Sumter! Santa was good to the boys, and they had a great Christmas morning with the toys he left and those given by the family!

Eli's new potty seat! Wonder if it will make him want to potty somewhere other than his diaper? Doubtful.

I love that these sweet boys do love a good accessory! They've loved these hats!

Eli's car has rocked his world! He drives it until the batteries are dead. And the first day, he tried to drive his car to the park! To the park! When I turned him around, he wept! Sweet baby thought it was a real car and he was going to the park!

And Banks finally got that big boy bike he wanted! The one with the hand breaks and the pedal breaks. With a horn and a water bottle. Such a big, big boy!

Of course... big boys take big tumbles too. Here's our first spill on Christmas morning! It's ok. No long term damage. Just a little tumble bumble.

And here's Eli walking to the park. If we won't let him take the car, he'll just put on his boots and walk!

Thank you everyone for a precious, precious Christmas!

The Adventures of Wacky

Santa Clause is Coming...

Christmas Eve just could not be complete without decorating cookies for Santa...

We take this business very seriously...

We take frequent breaks to track Santa's progress on the iPhone...

And to sample the frosting...

Throw in a Christmas present before bed...

And a well thought out dictated note to Santa!

Santa sure was good to some little boys! Wow! 

He even wrote a sweet note in response! What a great Santa!!

A Smith Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve afternoon, when all the Smiths gather together for brunch! Such a sweet and special time to see Avo with all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I can only hope to be as blessed as she at 96!

Eli's 2-year-old Christmas

A day in the life of Eli. So much personality! Love this sweet baby.

Smith Family Christmas

We are so blessed to have two wonderful families to spend Christmas with each year! We kicked off the Christmas week with a trip to visit the Smith family. We went with sweet cousin Mac to the Greenville Zoo and got to see a baby giraffe! So cool.

I love to see sweet Mac's personality. He's so much like Banks, and they had so much fun together! Eli was a little shy around all the animals, but he eventually warmed up.

Love this picture of the cousins. So sweet!

We celebrated Christmas for days... we enjoyed the Green Family Christmas before the Smith Family Christmas actually! They love Papa Ted and Nama Jane!

When with the Smiths, there is no shortage of wrestling.... with each other, with Jonathan, with Uncle Will... boys will be boys!

Merry Christmas to the Greens and Smiths!
