December 2016

I've shared a lot of our December pictures already in the Christmas, mud, Fox theater, etc. posts. Here are the remaining pics from December 2016. 

Zeke always wants a snack in a cup....raisins and goldfish crackers. And always following me into the bathroom. 

These two.....

I told the girls they could use my newborn bedside bassinet after Zeke was out of it (many, many months ago!), so we have it in the playroom. The little two kids love 'hiding' in the storage part underneath. :)

Zeke loved our little nativity sets!

I gave Bo a haircut at home and he sported a mohawk for a day.

 Arabelle helped me make baked potato soup one day. She did a great job cutting up the potatoes!

Picnic at the park:

Arabelle and I went to Valdosta one Saturday to see the Nutcraker. We ate lunch at Mellow Mushroom and they had this huge Hulk outside. She wanted to take a pic of this for Bo.

After she wanted to eat at Panda Express so she could use chopsticks.

Painting Christmas crafts:

Best big sister ever:

The big 3 and I went with the church to a live nativity in Tifton one Saturday evening. We ended up not getting finished until 9 and were so hungry, so we went to Cracker Barrel for a late supper.

We were making carrot apple muffins one day and the other kids decided to 'cook' too.

Christmas bells and carrots. Ha!

Bo had to get a filling at the dentist and was chilled out!

We went to Publix to grab a yogurt snack before a haircut for the little two and other errands. Such a circus trip!

We went to a birthday party for Mae's friend....it was obviously princess themed! We are usually around friends of the older kids. I love seeing her with her friends. :)

2017 here we come! 

The Nutcracker and Cinderella 2014

A couple of weekends ago, Arabelle and I went to Valdosta to see The Nutcracker! I had never been or read the book, so the week before we grabbed the book from the library and read it in a few days. Arabelle was so excited!

We went a little early, shopped some, had lunch, went to The Nutcracker, shopped some more, visited a friend and her new baby, had supper, and made it home by 9:00. Needless to say, we were tired! It was such a fun day with my girl!

 Arabelle danced and twirled the rest of the evening after the show!

We got Arabelle, Bo, and Mae each a Nutcracker from Hobby Lobby and Bo LOVED his! A green jacket and sword fit him just right. :)

Last Sunday, Papaw and Mamaw treated Arabelle to a Cinderella play in Macon and a nice lunch. She was so excited to wear her fancy dress!

Don't worry too much about Bo being left out of the fun....when we went to Valdosta, Bo went fishing with Sambo and when Arabelle went to Macon, I spoiled Bo with movies and snacks. :)

Splish Splash!

If you ever need to entertain Bo for any length of time, just fill a sink full of soapy water and add some toys. He will play for a nice long time! :)

This cute boy was having fun!!

We had a *little* watery mess to clean up, but it was worth it! 

Happy Mae

Mae is 8 weeks old today and she is just the happiest little girl (as long as she's rested!). I love to prop her up on my lap and talk to her. She gives the biggest smiles and in the last few days, has really started cooing a lot!

Here is my favorite video of Mae so far!

And a few pictures, of course!

Cookin'

Every now and then, Bo will spend a lot of time in the play kitchen and do some serious cookin'!

I wonder if the guys cooking at restaurants are in their undies and have tattoos??
