When Daddy dresses Macie...

This is what you get...



She is watching the game! We also put on her Nike tennis shoes for the first time. Such a big girl!

Our Last Christmas Get-together

Last night we finally celebrated Christmas with my dad's side of the family. It was nice to spread things out, but I am ready to be done. Seven Christmas get-togethers is a blessing and curse at the same time. Once again, Macie was spoiled! She got an ice cream sundae set, pjs, money, a little people boat, some books, pink ugg type boots, and an adorable hat. Brian and I got a gift card and money from my grandma. He also got a Jack Daniel's gift set and I got a clutch that holds pictures and a diffuser. We had finger foods, which is my favorite. Macie loved being there because there is a lot of room to run around. She ran lap after lap and I couldn't believe she stayed awake as long as she did! We didn't leave until 10! She crashed by the end of the street and slept until 8 this morning. She was back down for a nap at 8:40 and its been 2 hours and she is still asleep. I can tell this is going to be a lazy day! I go back to work tomorrow. Only 4 more weeks until I'm on maternity leave...
Grams B with Macie and Clayton
Macie sitting in my Uncle Jeff's rocking chair. He is no longer with us, so it is special to see her in his chair.
Clayton got the same ball tent as Macie for Christmas. Kaylee, Clayton, and Macie spent a lot of time in it!

Loving the fact that she can run around!
Trying to get in the rocking chair the wrong way. She kept rocking the chair and then lifting her leg behind her. It was hilarious!

The toy we got Clayton was a hit! He played with it all night!

Allie took a picture of all of the great-grandkids last summer and had a throw made for Grams B. She loved it!

We have definitely been blessed this Christmas!

Daddy's Chair

When Brian was little, his Mamaw gave him a wooden chair. His mom saved it for him and sent it home with us last week. Macie loves to sit in it to watch tv or while she is playing. I am going to repaint it, but it will work for now!
Too zoned into the tv to look at me!

I just love those curls!!

I love a great deal!

I am always looking for a good bargain and it makes me so happy to get a deal. We have been looking at double strollers and I just couldn't find exactly what I wanted. This week, we got a Babies-R-Us ad that had some awesome coupons for strollers. We decided to go and just see what we could get. When we walked in, we saw a double stroller that was on clearance. We asked them if that was the only one, and they said yes, so we walked around the store with it until we made a decision. I wanted to see how to fold it up, how much it weighed, why it was on clearance, etc. The reason it was marked down so much was because it was an online only special that was accidentally delivered to the store. To make a long story short, we ended up buying the stroller (the online price is $199.49), 3 Colt's onesies for Gavin, a lock for our cabinet, and a travel wipe case for $83.31!!!! I couldn't believe it! We also got two more coupons for 20% off an item that will come in handy when buying last minute things for Gavin. If we were going to pay full price, we probably would have picked another stroller, however, we are thrilled with our purchases and I feel much better about his upcoming arrival. Another thing checked off my list!
