Christmas Morning

"Thanks Nan and Popsie for my engine. Daddy and I have had fun playing with it today."

"A Handy Manny work truck, Oh boy!"

"Oh boy, a car. I'm ready to go riding."

"I love my new slide. I'm going to have hours of fun playing on this."

"Yeah, Elmo Live Encore. Hurry Daddy and get him out of the box for me."

"A work bench with tools. Oh boy!"

"Now what could be inside this? Some Elmo's World dvd's and a laser level."

New Spare Bedroom

This is the new spare bedroom. It's not quite finished yet but we got 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag...lol.

Stages of Timmy's new playroom

Here's what we were doing all evening. It's 2:30 in the morning now and we have put Timmy's new toys in his new playroom. He will get to see it for the first time in the morning. We will be putting the rest of his toys in there once he sees his new ones. Enjoy looking at the stages of Timmy's playroom.

Christmas Family Portrait

This picture was taken at Lundies Photography. They do such a great job.

Lights On The Neuse in Clayton

We went to see the lights last night. Waiting in line with a 1 1/2 year old was no picnic but once we got on the hayride and he saw the lights he had a blast. Timmy kept pointing at everything and gabbering a mile a minute. It was too cute. Here are a few pics of the lights. It's definitely worth the price of addmission to go see them. The only complaint I had were the long lines but that's to be expected when you go to do something like that.

An Angel Came Down Production at LWFC

An Angel Came Down production this past weekend was great! If you weren't able to come you missed out. If you did come and would love to see some pics that were taken at the event click here: Electric Christmas 2009. Enjoy looking at the pics.

Iris Ann Norment

I have a new neice. I snagged these pics from my brother Calvin. Regina had Iris Ann yesterday at 6:54pm. She weighs 6lbs 5oz and is 19 1/2" long. Mom and baby are healthy and doing fine.

Cousin Tristan's Christmas Performance

Tristan's Preschool did a Christmas Performance yesterday afternoon. We went to go see it and get some pics since his Mom and Maw Maw were at the hospital. His Mom had his baby sister yesterday evening. She hated missing the performance but we got some good pics of it and we got video for them to see later. Sorry that we didn't get the video on the blog but we couldn't get it to load so we'll just make a disc for Mom and Maw Maw to watch. Enjoy the pics!

Christmas in Downtown Raleigh

We went downtown for the tree lighting service and they had lots to do as you will see in the pics below. There were lots and lots of stuff but I only took a few photos.

They had a horse and carriage ride but the lines were way too long so...

we let Timmy pet the horse. He enjoyed doing that more anyhow.

Timmy and his cousin Tristan really enjoyed going on the train ride. It was the one thing that we waited in line for them to do.

Timmy and his Elmo Table

These pics are especially for the Brown's. Timmy loves his Elmo Table. In these pics he is watching Sesame Street and eating a snack. Enjoy the pics Aunt Elaine and the rest of the Brown family.

The 12 Pains of Christmas...

We decorated the Christmas tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving. If you listen to Christmas songs then you have heard the 12 Pains of Christmas song. One of the biggest pains in the song is putting the lights on the tree. Every year that is Scot's job. He does such a great job of putting the lights on the tree but it isn't one of his favorite things to do...lol. And of course Timmy has to be where Daddy is doing what Daddy is doing as you will see in the pics below. The fun part was Timmy's reaction after the tree was finished which you'll see in the pics below too. Needless to say we have to keep little man gated off from the Christmas tree or else it would be destroyed...lol.

"Hey Daddy can I help?"

"Oh boy, a tree inside the house."

"What's this? Will Mommy mind if I take it off and play with it?"

Elmo and Ernie Bathtime Toys

These were taken on November 29th. Nan and Popsie got Timmy an Elmo and Ernie bathtime toy with a sub and two boats. All you see in the pics though are Elmo and Ernie and the sub but Timmy loves playing with them all. Enjoy the pics Nan and Popsie. These were done especially for you.

It's Official...

Y'all thought I was prego again, huh?! Nope. We are officially going to do a major overhaul on the house. We are going to turn Scot's office into the spare bedroom, the spare bedroom into a playroom, and the upstairs playroom into Timmy's new bedroom. The toys are everywhere and we are running out of room to put things so it has to be done. It's going to be a work in progress as I go through all our stuff and decide what stays and what goes. When Timmy's napping I'll be going through things and packing up things that can go to the garage. The room that is going to be Timmy's room is going to need a fresh painting and so will the room that is going to be the playroom. We may or may not do the painting though because I'm sure it won't take long for them to be messed up again...lol. I'm sure that it will be nice once it's done but we are not looking forward to all the work that is going to be involved. At least I'll be able to do a lot of the tedious stuff during Timmy's nap times. That will help out a lot because it won't take long to move things around once that is done. Just the thought of it all makes me go "Whew!" and I'll probably be doing that once it's done too (and so will Scot)...lol.
