Christmas in Alabama

It has taken me FOREVER to post....so sorry! We just got home from Alabama yesterday and we are so very tired! We had Christmas Eve lunch with the Darby side (Kathy's mothers side) and here are a few photos. Sam just LOVES his cousin Judson!

I HATE PACKING! But I LOVE Christmas!

I've been meaning to post some recent pics I have taken but I am SWAMPED with "things to do" before we leave for Alabama. I absolutely despise packing. It seems like no matter how soon I start packing, I'm still rushing to get things done! We are leaving tomorrow at 1:30 (hopefully, but not realistically;-). I should have tons and tons of pics when I get back! Also, today is Chivas' dads birthday! Happy Birthday Greg (Poppy)! So here I go...back to packing. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Gute Nacht!

Sam's School Christmas Party

Today was Sam's Preschool Christmas party! The kids had a blast! Sam LOVES his friends and also his teacher, Ms. Carol! The children got tons of goodies and exchanged gifts! One of the dads video tapes EVERY party. I'm SO glad he does! I can't wait until the kids watch the videos when they are in High School...HILARIOUS!

What a poser!

Precious girls...Abby and Mary Patton (Sam calls them his girlfriends:-)

Gettin' some brother lovins!

Sam and his buddy Davis

Happy Birthday Kat-Kat!

Today is Kat Kats Birthday! Don't worry Kat, I won't tell your age! Sam was SO excited about calling her to wish her a happy birthday today! We love you Kat Kat! Have a wonderful birthday!

Sam's Special Day

Today we took Sam to Jackson to have his "special day"! We had so much fun! We got Nana to keep Chap and the three of us went to the zoo and to Bass Pro Shops (Sam's FAVORITE PLACE)...I know it's sad. Sam was more excited about BPS than the zoo!!!!! We like for Sam to get attention from the two of us without little brother. Chivas and I have found that it is difficult to give him the attention he deserves when we are taking care of Chap as well! So we like to make him feel extra special. Today when we dropped Chap off at his Nana's house Sam said to us " I want Chap to go!". It was so precious! He loves his little brother! But Sam ended up really enjoying having his momma and daddy all to himself!

He LOVES Daddy!

I knew Sam was having fun when he decided that he was going to pose for mommy...this NEVER happens!

It was a good day:-)

Introducing....

Our new kitty! Lily Flowersplash Thompson (named by Sam, ofcourse!)
Chivas and I aren't exactly cat lovers but we're getting used to life with our feline friend. Ty doesn't mind her...atleast he hasn't killed her yet:-0
Remind me of the life expectancy of a cat....guess we've made a LONG TERM decision!

When Daddy is away...

We get SO incredibly bored when Chivas is hunting...So today we were lazy (which is ideal for me:-) Sam and I cleaned the house (yes, he does help! Shocking, I know!) and we watched Spongebob for the majority of the day...I just love sitting with the boys and not being in a hurry to go somewhere! Maybe Daddy will bag a big ol' buck today!

Chap LOVES his Elmo book!
