Santa Claus, Decorating the Tree and Christmas Card Attempts

I LOVE this time of year!  We took the kids to see Santa.  Edward loves anything in costume.  People dressed in costume have never bothered him.  He was so excited about seeing Santa and telling him what he wanted for Christmas.  Emily Kate just sat in his lap and tugged on his beard.  Poor man!!

Here are a few pictures from seeing Santa, decorating the tree and the MANY attempts at getting a Christmas card pic!

Not quite finished

It’s impossible to get a good one of everybody

this is how 95% of my pictures of Edward turn out

This was probably the best pic of the 3 of them.  I ended up having to make a card with 3 individual pictures!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year we spent Thanksgiving with my Dad and his family in Locust Fork, AL.  This was the first Thanksgiving in 30 years that I wasn’t with my mom.  It was also the first time since my grandmother died (it’s been 3 years) that I have seen my aunts, uncles and cousins.  We gathered at my aunt and uncle’s house and had a blast.  They have several horses and Edward was in heaven!!

My 2 little turkeys!

Checking out the horse!

Trip to the Zoo

Back in November, we made a trip to Montgomery to take Edward to the zoo. We met Aunt Jac and Baby William and Aunt Hollister for an afternoon of seeing the animals. Edward LOVES the zoo. His favorite animal is the rhinoceros. We even got to feed the giraffes. What a fun experience!! Edward was a little nervous at first, but giggled when he saw the giraffe's long tongue grab the leaf I was holding!
