"Last set of Christmas posts"!

I didn't realize how many pictures I took over the holiday's - I should have known!  Well, this should be the last set of Christmas pictures - although there are so many, it is going to take multiple posts. This is my family scrapbook, so I try to post as many as I can for us to enjoy through the years. Bear with me - if there is anyone that even reads this blog anymore!

After Christmas, my family did something we haven't done before - we celebrated more of Christmas at the beach with the rest of our family, and carried the celebration over New Years. Typically we stay home this time of year, but Jay was on Sabbatical from work so we had time to do it...., and we thought it would be fun to do something different this year. The holiday's are just so hard without my sister, so I was thankful for a change of scenery. We spent a full week at gorgeous "Rosemary Beach" - it was heavenly.

This boy can't seem to keep a tooth in his mouth these days! They are falling out left and right it seems. The tooth fairy even visited him at the beach! 

And who wouldn't pay good money for this hair????!!!!   Thank you humid, beach air for this gorgeous set of locks! 

Ellison and Bradford snuggled up close in her new sleeping bag

Best reaction of the night! Wyatt opened up an autographed Alabama football.  He was elated. 

Sharing a tender moment together - precious. 

Really??  So typical.  Got to love him. 

Mom has been making special "Mommy scrapbooks" for Wyatt and Bradford for the past 2 years. They are filled with pictures of their mom when she was a little girl. They absolutely love to sit and pour over these pictures. My heart breaks just alittle bit more every time I watch this scene, but I am so thankful my parents took so many pictures of me and Elliot growing up. 

Bradford is 6 now, but was only 3 1/2 when her mommy went to Heaven.  She is trying so hard to make sense of all of this - me too.

Getting some special time with "Maime" 

This just makes me happy! 

Everyone just chillin' 

The girls playing dress up magnetic dolls 

The boys playing LEGO's 

E-Daddy and EB playing a board game 

This boy eating a gummy snake - NASTY! 

and these girls, eating candy toilets!  We have sunk to an all new low! 

Had to capture the curls again :) 

Big girl on her bike. This was the first family trip that everyone was on their own bike and no one had a baby in a baby seat or trailer - big milestone. 

I can't exactly remember the details for why I had to ride on the handlebars, but I did. 

I am definitely a fan of Christmas trees in the sand after this trip - very fun to go to the beach during Christmas 

Preparing for her roll down the big hill - hours of fun

I might be obsessed with her hair 

And heartbreaker for sure right here - put his guitar in his hand and we better put him on lockdown in the house!   You will always be MY boy  :)
