Jolly Ole' Saint Nick...

All Tay wants for Christmas is Wii games, DS games, Uggs, (u know the low dollar things)..Gracie would like a Sleeping Beauty vanity, baby dolls, basically everything she sees and Ben would like more cars (like this one daddy got him, that he just had to bring to show Santa)...
So, this is the first time that Gracie has sat on Santa's lap since she was 1. All the other years she would have no part of it. Her question to me before it was their turn was..."Is Santa going to have Bad breath? " Her comment after..."Mommy, Santa's breath didn't stink..it smelled like a candy cane!"

The kids were troopers waiting the 35 minutes for Santa...Thank goodness for Auntie Anne's...

I thought with Ben I would have some say in his fashion choices..WRONG. I think he might be worse than the the girls...He found this sweater that Harrison handed down to him and now it's all he wants to wear...Go figure.

Colton Cash Williams

Finally, Christian (my cousin in Florida) got his boy..after Morgyn, Madysonn and Rylee. Jen gave birth to Colton Cash Williams on November 23rd. He came quick..no epideral..7lbs 5ozs. Everyone is doing well and enjoying their new family member!

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

Love the hat Colt. My Uncle Mike's first grandson...Guess we'll have to send him some "Colts" gear...

***On the music playlist if you push the two lines (pause) button it will pause the music so you can hear Gracie***

Gracie has been practicing and practicing this song..although i'm surprised she didn't take this opportunity to sing a little Taylor Swift for everyone..if you see her..ask her to sing......
