Christmas in March

Carson, Maddon, Sydney, and Maddox (We missed you, Mattison)

Santa came to Lolli and Pop's house a little late this year!! We spent this weekend in Nashville having Christmas with Cameron's family. Lolli was in the hospital over Thanksgiving, the beginning of December, and again over Christmas. We decided to wait until she was feeling better to have Christmas...plus she's a gift fanatic and needed time to get just what she wanted for everyone. (Thanks, Trista for helping her out!) Oddly enough, it even ended up being a white Christmas.

This is Maddon's smile. He apparently does this every time someone says cheese.
It was hilarious!

Carson got his own set of bull riding gear. I sure hope his fascination with this wears off as he gets older. This mommy is definitely not letting him ride a bull! He also got a "real" cowboy hat, but it wouldn't fit his big noggin and is going to be exchanged.

Sydney got a pink BB gun, lots of fun stuff for her DSi, and her own lime green and giraffe luggage. She'll definitely be traveling in style.

Lolli also got our family a Wii (since we are probably the only family in America that didn't have one). Cameron and Sydney haven't stopped playing since we got home.

**Thanks for a fabulous Christmas, Lolli and Pop.
It was great getting to hang out with you guys.**

Carson's 3rd Birthday Party

We had Carson's 3rd birthday party a couple of weeks early. He won't actually be three until March 30th. I absolutely can't believe he's already that old! He is obsessed with "Cars", so of course that was the theme for his birthday party. We had his party at our church again since the weather is destined to be crumby for all of his parties.

Here's the birthday boy in his birthday shirt. My friend April made it, and I LOVED how it turned out.

My mom made his "Lightning CoQueen" (that's what he says instead of McQueen) and it was awesome, too. Thanks, Mimi...you're the best!!

I love these kids!

After the party, we had dinner at Ryan and Ashley's house. Carson was rockin' out on Davo's guitar. Too funny!!

**Thanks to everyone that came to the party.
Carson loved all of his fun gifts, and we hope you had a great time!!**
