Smith's First Christmas!

Our sweet boy had a wonderful Christmas. What a blessing it was to experience our first Christmas as parents...Although next year I think we will need to rent a Uhaul to pack all our goodies for a week away from home! We took LOTS of pictures so I will try to be selective and just post some of my favorites.

We spent the first part of the week at Gannie's house with Woody and Jessie. We went to church, had Christmas with DeDe and and the Earle family, and were happy that Santa found us in Canton!

We went to Carthage for Christmas with CC and Pop on Tuesday and were showered by
"beach themed" gifts! Reed loves the beach and we take at least two long beach trips each summer...and since Smith will take his first beach trip this summer, the beach gifts were practical and PERFECT!
Santa brought Smith a basketball goal. He is already taking after Uncle Drew and LOVES playing with his goal!

On Christmas Day we headed to Renfroe to my family's cabin. My parents, Andrew, Laura, Jason and AP all came, too! We played Mexican Train Dominoes with Ganne, a hysterical game of CATCH PHRASE with Uncle Dan and family, ate LOTS of food, rested, hunted, ate some more, exchanged gifts, and watched Smith and AP (and Rambo Reed) enjoy all their toys! My creative and very talented sister made almost all of her Christmas gifts this year. And they weren't cheesey homemade gifts! They were awesome! Baby dolls, diapers for baby dolls, t-shirt quilts, onesies, pillows, height charts, and EVEN tackling dummies??? Is this not the greatest thing you have ever seen? Laura made Smith a tackling dummy out of a photo of Reed from his Senior year at Delta State! It's awesome!

We hope your Christmas was as MERRY as ours!
