Christmas Breakfast

After Santa we headed to my mom's house for breakfast! We showed up and Tyler and Ethan were in the same outfit!

Team Santa!

Tyler had a good breakfast too.....sausage, bananas, and peaches!

Grammy and her babies.....

We had a busy Christmas but it was great. We loved spending the time with our family and friends. Tyler had a wonderful 1st Christmas!

Santa Clause

Santa came to visit our house this year and Tyler couldn't wait to get out of bed to see what Santa brought him!!

Christmas Eve

We spend Christmas Eve at my Momo and Popo's house. We are a big family and we keep getting bigger and bigger every year. This year we had three more babies than last year and next Christmas we will have another baby girl to add to the bunch!! By the time we were ready to open gifts Tyler was sleepy and hot(that's why he's not wearing any pants in some of the pictures). He was more interested in eating the paper than opening the gifts. He was yet again spoiled with gifts!

Santa Pictures

Tyler has had two pictures with Santa this year. One at the mall......

And another at the Peterbilt party. Not only did he get his picture with Santa but a very special Mrs. Clause aka, Grammy!!!

Neighborhood Christmas......

As most of you know we are fortunate enough to have a wonderful neighborhood with great friends! We exchange gifts with the kids every year and this year we made a little party out of it. Jill's mom decided to host everyone so all the kids could get together to exchange gift. We had lots of fun and the kids did too!


Dinner Date......


So big....

Present time....

10 Month's Old....

Last Saturday Tyler was 10 months and once again, I can't believe he is getting so big so fast! We celebrated at the Beck family Christmas in Rowlett!

Tyler got a new wagon for Christmas.....

Mimi and Boomer with the Grandkids.....

Mrs. Debbie's Christmas....

At Mrs. Debbie's house the kids exchange names from Christmas. Tyler got a gift from his friend Brody and Mrs. Debbie bought him a gift too. Instead of having them open at her house she sends the gifts home. So, on Friday Tyler got to open his very first Christmas gifts. He was totally uninterested in opening the gifts. This surprised me a bit because he love magazines and newspapers. So, I thought he would love tearing into the paper. While we were trying to get him to open his gifts Gracie was barking and being a pest, of course. He was more interested in her and not so interested in the gifts. I still managed to get a couple of cute pictures.....

Tis The Season....

Our Christmas fun has officially begun! Every year with my dad's side of the family we get together at Momo and Popo's house to decorate cookies. Momo bakes dozens and dozens of sugar cookies, we make the icing, and then decorate. We figured that this year was the 31st annual cookie tradition. I've been doing it since I was in my mom's tummy, Rusty has been doing it since December 2004, and now Tyler gets to be a part of the fun. He decorated his very first cookie!!

He was more concerned with eating the cookie....

Thanksgiving

I know I'm almost a month late but we did celebrate Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. Typically on Thanksgiving day I go to my mom's side for lunch and my dad's side for dinner. That is until last year becasue I now am a proud owner of my own Cowboy seat. So, this year was decision time. I didn't know if I should stay with Tyler or take him to the game with us. The weather was a bit cool so my mom and sister offered to babysit for us. So, we took Tyler to my Aunt's house, scarfed down a plate of food, and headed to Arlington. After the game we headed to Sanger to pick up Tyler at my grandma's house....and ate again!! So, I still was able to see all of my family and they were able to spend a lot of time with Tyler. Which apparently is way more precious than spending time with me!

For some reason this is the one and only very random picture I got on Thanksgiving.


On Friday, we spent the day with Rusty's family in Plano. We had a great time visiting with everyone and eating lots of good food!

Grady, Paw Paw, and Brooklyn



These are Tyler's very first arts and crafts from Mrs. Debbie's house......
