A Christmas Compilation

We had so many family celebrations that I decided to compile all of them into one post.  After PawPaw's Christmas, we celebrated with Jeremy's Pop.  All of Jeremy's cousins and aunts and uncles came in from out of town for the weekend.  We were missing some cousins this year because one is due any day now with a new baby and the other just moved to Florida and couldn't make it. We sure missed them!  For some reason, I didn't end up with any pictures, but we had a great time! We always do the white elephant Christmas and it is always fun. We enjoyed visiting and of course ate a lot! Judson and his Nanna made sugar cookies for Pop's Christmas and here are some pictures of them having fun together.

Next we celebrated with Jeremy's Dad (Poppy), Meme, and Papa.  We all met at Judson's Aunt Ashley's house and ate finger foods, played Bingo (a family tradition), and opened gifts.  Judson got a remote control car from Papa, but Judson thought he was supposed to ride it

He also got his own lazy boy recliner from his Poppy and Connie.  He LOVES his chair.

We decided to get the chair in brown instead of camo so it would match our furniture a little better. Here is a picture of Judson just lounging around watching a movie and having a snack.

We finished out the night playing Bingo and this was my lucky year! I think I won four games!


Then we celebrated with my Mammaw, Aunt Travonda, Uncle Sam and all of my cousins.  We had the best meal ever! I will spare you the details because it would just make you hungry!  Judson got to play with his cousin Porter, so he had a great time.  We also have a white elephant Christmas with gag gifts.  It is always so fun.  We also played a fun passing game with gift cards and it was a lot of fun.  Here are some pictures from this celebration.

The next day Santa came to our house!  He brought Judson a battery powered camo four wheeler!  Judson is still "in training" on how to hold the button down so he can ride.  We had baked french toast and bacon for breakfast after Judson opened his gifts.

Finally we ended our celebrating the day after Christmas at Nanna's house.  Nanna made breakfast for us all and then we opened gifts.  Judson got a barking puppy (battery operated)  from his Aunt Ashley and Uncle Cameron and two new cartoons to watch from his Uncle Timmy.  Judson got a really neat tent with fun tunnels to climb through from his Nanna, but I think his favorite gift at this Christmas was his new house shoes. 

After we all opened gifts, we were all worn out and took naps.
We had a great time enjoying family this year.  We laughed a lot, ate a lot, and traveled a lot.  We look forward to visiting all of our family again really soon.

Christmas with PawPaw!

So, my Dad and two sisters came to our house last night to celebrate Christmas.  We had a wonderful meal! My Dad fried a turkey and it was GOOOOD! We had turkey and dressing, broccoli casserole, corn casserole, yummy rolls and a chocolate cake to finish things off.
Judson enjoyed spending time with his cousin Jaden and wanted to be just like the big kids.  I gave Jaden his superhero cape and mask for his gift.  Judson's PawPaw gave him a new pair of cowboy boots, a belt, and tiny pair of Wranglers for Christmas. Judson's Aunt Laci gave him a rocking horse and his Aunt Aleshia gave him some cool toys to learn his shapes with. 
Here are some pictures from this Christmas celebration:

Christmas with Grandmom!



Here Judson is watching his new Toy Story 3 dvd his Grand Dad bought him.


(This was part of the entertainment.)

My Mom, Step-Dad, and Grandmother spent Saturday night at our house to celebrate Christmas.  We had a great time! My mom and I did all the cooking (which is fun to me), and Judson took care of the entertaining part of the visit.  Judson got a new Buzz Lightyear toy and a new pair of water boots!  He absolutely LOVES his boots! He insisted he put them on over his pajamas when he woke up Sunday morning.

Little Stinker






As I mentioned in an earlier post, Judson LOVES to climb. I can't take my eyes off him for one second or he's getting onto something.  Judson's Aunt Shelly gave him the red and white chair for his birthday. He loves to stand in it and use it to get onto the couches.  He also figured out how to open the drawer on the end table and use it as a step.  In the last picture he is sneaking a sip of mom's sweet tea. Here are a few pictures of Judson in action:

My Little Picky Eater

As most of you know, Judson is a little bit of a picky eater. He is almost 18 months old and still eats A LOT of baby food. I have decided the past few days that I am going to try try TRY to get Judson to eat other foods. Yesterday we tried mini corn dog bites for lunch. I got so tickled at him because he would peel out the hotdog and leave the bread.  He would peel every single one like he was cracking open a peanut or peeling a shrimp. Can't you just see the determination on his face?:)

I want to be just like my Daddy!

So.... I was in the kitchen cleaning out our refrigerator when I happened to look into the living room and this is what I saw...Daddy checking his e-mail on the laptop and Judson sitting right beside him with HIS laptop AKA his new portable DVD player his Grandmom gave him as an early Christmas gift.  It was too cute and it cracked me up!  I sure do love my boys.

Our New Toy

As Judson and I were on our way home from our date to Wing Stop and Hobby Lobby today, we stumbled upon a garage sale around the corner of our house. I probably wouldn't normally stop because of the hassle of getting in and out of the car with Judson, but something caught our eye..... a little mini trampoline!!!!! The nice man had it priced for $10 but informed me his wife told him not to refuse any offer. SO..... Judson offered him $5 and he took it! Check out our new trampoline!!!!! Judson stomps up and down on it and says, "Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!"

Judson


So... the last time I posted anything on this blog, Judson was not even born. Now he is almost 18 months old, and is such an amazing little guy.

Judson says several words such as:

hi, bye, hello, momma, daddy, thank you, down, no, juice, Nanna, as well as many others!

He LOVES to talk on Daddy's old cell phone! We charge the phone so the buttons work and it lights up just like Mommy's and Daddy's!

He LOVES cheetos and he LOVES lemon cookies! They are like Oreos and he takes them apart and eats out the creamy middle first.

He loves to climb on anything and everything! (His Nanna says his Daddy was the exact same way.)

He LOVES LOVES LOVES to play outside and loves being in the sand.

He loves cuddling with his Mommy and loves playing rough with his Daddy.
He is the apple of my eye and I thank the Lord everyday for him!
I am going to TRY to keep up with this blog now, so wish me luck! :)
