Hangin' Out

I feel so blessed to have all of the family that we have. I love spending time with them, even though I wish we could spend more time together. After Christmas, we were able to spend a few days at my mom's and just hang out. We didn't do hardly anything, but just had a good time being around each other. Here are a few pictures from our lazy days ...

Are these girls not the sweetest in their Tinkerbell pj's? I can't believe that they will be 4 soon. =( Where has the time gone?

Lydia loving on Harper. She LOVES babies!

Sweet boy playing in his exersaucer.

I was trying to get a picture with both of them looking at the camera, but Jack Henry could not keep his eyes off of Harper!

It was the sweetest thing! He would just look at her and grin so big!! He is so friendly.

Granna with Jack Henry and Lydia.

Here she is with Harper again!! We could not keep her away!

So glad that Craig was able to be in town for Christmas and stick around for a few days! The girls LOVED having him around (and so did I!).

Do you think they like him? Or what?!?

Clay Family Christmas

Time for "Christmas: Round 8"!! Never a dull moment at Granna and GiGi's house, and not everyone was there!

Aunt D and Grandmother with Eden, Harper, Jack Henry and Lydia

Love Jack Henry's smile in this picture! Not sure who is having more fun! ;)

Sweet little guy

Grandmother with the kiddos. Can you tell Lydia is still worn out? She took a little nap in the car on the way to Searcy, but not nearly long enough.

Love my sweet little niece, Harper. Is she not precious?!?

Ahh ... the thumb!

The girls helping Grandmother with her loot!

Finally got her to sit still long enough for a picture.

GiGi with all the little girls. Like I said, never a dull moment!

Granna got Lydia this cute sock monkey game. She was SO excited!

Jeff and I chilling after the kids were finally in bed!

The next day, Jack Henry got to open his presents. He missed all the fun, yet again. He didn't seem to mind though ... he got all the attention again! ;)

His first tool set!!

Yay! New clothes that will be big enough! I didn't plan on him growing so fast when we bought all his fall and winter clothes, so most of them were 3-6 months. Oops!

Big sis being a great helper again.

Christmas is over!!

Whew ... we survived our first Christmas with 2 kids! It is a crazy busy week, but we love being able to see most of our family and spend special time with each one. So thankful that everyone doesn't try to cram it all in one or two days. Don't think we would survive!

Hall Family Christmas

Christmas morning, we got up, packed for a few days in Searcy and headed over to have Christmas with Jeff's dad's side of the family. Love getting to see them and spend time together.

Lydia tearing into one of her presents!

Yay! A new Dora game for her iXL!

Jack Henry opening his presents.

Wanted to get a picture of Memaw with both of the kiddos ... but one little girl was totally not interested and refused to get in the picture. SO, we took one with happy little boy! Love his face in this picture!

And this is where Lydia was. Poor girl was worn out from all the Christmas partying we had been doing all week!

Jeff finally snapped a picture of Lydia with Pops and Memaw! Glad he got her to smile!

Can you tell he was ready to get in the car and take a nap?? LOVE him so much!

Christmas Eve!

 Christmas Eve, PaPa an Mimi came over to hang out and do open presents. We had a yummy BBQ dinner and fun together. Lydia loves anytime they come over! She loves showing off all of her stuff and playing.

Crazy Lydia!

 Passing out presents, again!

 Opening up their cute book and caterpillar from Mimi and PaPa.

 What is it?!?
She got really good at guessing what her presents were!

 Jack Henry was not feeling well (not sure if it was his teeth or what), so he wasn't really interested in anything but being held. =(

 Lydia got Hungry Hungry Hippos!!

 Looks like he isn't too sure about was in this box! ;)

Merry Christmas!!

Santa Came For A Visit!

Santa came and dropped off some goodies for the kids! Can you tell Lydia was real excited?!? ;)

It took Lydia FOREVER to spot her bike. I figured it would be the first thing she saw, but instead she was too interested in looking for Elfie! Once she found him, she finally noticed her bike.

As you can see ... someone was a little sleepy! Too late to bed and didn't sleep in any. =(

Hmm ... I wonder what is in this present, a DVD???
And yes, she guessed right!

Merry Christmas!

She was so excited about her V.Reader backpack that Jack Henry got her. She thought it was so cool that he got her a present ... and loved putting all of her games and her reader in there.

She wanted to put on her helmet right away!! Yay!

Helping Jack Henry open his presents.

All he really wanted to do was take a nap! =)

She loved all of her presents!

After we got Jack Henry down for a nap, Lydia got dressed and went out to ride her new bike.

She looks SO big on there!

And she took off like a pro. Doesn't seem like our baby girl should be old enough to ride a big girl bike already. Where has the time gone?!?
