P-A-R-K!

It was a beautiful December day in Dixie so I left work early, we packed up the kiddos and we headed to the park.

Sam looks like such a big man these days.

Elliott is making big girl looking faces.

She wants me to sit down across from her.

BeSt GiRl!!!

They have gotten brave and both will go down the slide without me.

Over the river and through the woods...

Elliott coaching Sam like he was participating in an eating contest.

Fat kid loves carbs

 Elliott paying close attention to Nana

She doesn't miss a thing.

 Sam thinks it is funny that Nana let Delilah in the house.

It is downright hysterical.

 Sam makes it look like he is sharing food with Delilah...

but he kept picking the Fruit Loops off the floor before she could get to them.

Elliott was much more willing to share.

 Silly Sammy Face

Aunt Debbie taught Elliott how to make vacuum suction with her mouth.

 She is so proud of herself!

She loves her Aunt Debbie.

Interrupting Man Time

Sam woke up late one night and just needed to be out of his crib. Pork Chop headed straight into the living room; it was male bonding time.

 Is it just me or is Andrew ranked like eighth?

 He does not look pleased that I am interrupting their "man business" by taking pictures.

Sometimes don't you wake up in the middle of the night because you just have to play some Earth Wars 3.2?? 

November at Nana's

I love my little girl, but there is just something about this guy...

 Boys melt their mother's hearts.

 Mommy Elliott knocking Sam's hand away. She is such a little protector.

 They were THRILLED with Nana's little Christmas tree that changed colors.

 Elliott kicked back while Sam takes a nap and Daddy is out hunting.

Thanksgiving

Elliott making her stinker face while waiting on her dinner.

 She is super excited. She loves MeMe's cooking.

(That really is Taran and not just a wax statue.)

Sammy's fat tongue 

 He is patiently waiting for MeMe to start hand feeding him.

 Elliott isn't so sure about her musical abilities.

 Sam is soaking up all the knowledge he can.

Sam decided to get a better view of me cleaning the kitchen.

Don't worry, son. You and your pillow aren't in my way at all.

He is such a stinker! 

While Daddy is out hunting wild game....

Nana knows that it is much easier to catch a big buck by hand feeding them corn chips when they are little.

He was so happy to just sit and be held by Nana. (As long as she had chips.)
