Braylee feeding the geese, ducks and pigeons

We had to explain to Braylee that the bread was for the birds. She wanted a little snack herself before we got started.
My two favorite people
We got very popular pretty quick.

Happy New Year!

We celebrated New Year's at my family's place, Gin Creek. We brought in the New Year with family and friends. Braylee did not make it until the New Year but we did a little pre-New Year celebration. We would say, "Happy New Year" and she would throw her hands up. Happy New Year baby girl!

Merry Christmas!

Braylee's Christmas loot. She had a great time. She woke up Christmas morning at 7:30am anxious to see what Santa brought. She was a good little girl this year. Her expression was priceless when she saw her toys, even though we did not get that on camera. She did not know where to start first so she grabbed a fork from her kitchen set and jumped on her 4-wheeler. Christmas has always been so much fun because our parents have gone all out since we were little but it is even better when you have a precious little one to watch.



She is so funny to watch on her 4-wheeler. She has not learned that the button makes it go and not her feet so as she pushes the button her feet start going. She will get the hang of it.

Mama Dee's Tacky Dress Christmas gathering

Every Christmas Eve our family gets together at my Grandmother's house(Mama Dee) for our family Christmas. Last year we started a new tradition of "Tacky Christmas" at Mama Dees. Everyone dresses in their tackiest Christmas gear but does not tell anyone what they are wearing. No one knows until you walk in the door. I went as me in the 5th grade, Braylee went in her PJ's(she was cute, not tacky) and Dwight was, well, lets just say he was playing for the other team that night. It was pretty funny.


My sister, Rosemary, went pregnant(we duck taped a pillow under her shirt). She made her shirt that said, " Snow Fo Sho".
