Mullen's First Santa Visit...

was a success!! Yesterday we took Mullen to the West Memphis mall to a small arts and crafts show they were having and to see Ho Ho! I wasn't sure how he would do since he hadn't taken a nap all morning. I figured he would be asleep the minute we got in the car, but he did great! This might be the only year he's not screaming and crying. I can only hope he likes Santa next year!

Yesterday morning I asked Mullen about Santa and he got to kicking and smiling, so I knew we had to go see him!



Getting ready to go see the jolly ole guy!



While we were getting ready Ms. Kathy came by to see us!



How precious is this picture!! This is the Santa that comes to mom's school every year and he is such a good Santa!





Santa I've been really good this year please bring me a tractor, a wagon, and some toys to play with! Most importantly please bring me lots of formula since I'm a growing baby!






This little guy was tuckered out. Just as soon as he saw Santa he was asleep!

After Santa we went over to Memphis to try and get some Christmas shopping done and to get Mullen a pair of shoes. Cotton tails has the cutest kids shoes I could buy them all if only I could afford them all. :)



Mullen loves his new shoes! He just kicked and kicked trying to figure out what was on his feet. These shoes were an early Christmas present from Nonna and Poppa and are the sweetest little shoes.

After shoe shopping we headed to Brooke and Ray's for dinner. Emily and Caleb were going to dinner to celebrate Adam's 30th birthday so they brought the kids to play.




Mullen loves playing with Aunt Brooke.





Uncle Logan and Little Red Riding Hood.



Now she is Elvis!!



Nonna, Poppa, and their grand kids. It was hard to get a good one with an active 2 year old!












Sweet cousins in their matching pj's!

What a fun night with family! I am so blessed to have such a close family!

Until next time...

Happy Birthday Emily and Ladies Night

Yesterday was Emily's birthday!! We hope her day was just as fabulous as she is! I'm so thankful to have such an amazing sister that will go out of her way to help in anyway possible and Mullen is lucky to call her his aunt! This saying is so true... "Great sisters get promoted to Aunt"! God sure knew what he was doing when he blessed me with two truly amazing sisters that I could not live without!!


Happy Birthday Aunt Emily!!


We love you so much and can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend!


Tonight we went to the annual Ladies Night that the Chamber puts on every year! We always go as a family and have a good time! The night consists of social time, dinner, bingo, door prizes, and the announcement of the table decorating contest. Angie and Glenna came and took care of Mullen so Logan and I could attend! I am so so thankful to have these two ladies in my life and that they love Mullen so much!! It was not easy leaving him for a few hours but it was easier knowing he was well taken care of! I know Mullen will love these sweet ladies just as much as I do one day!



Mullen was excited Glenna and Angie were coming to play!!



Mullen looks so big up to Glenna!


We were pretty sad Libby was stuck in class and couldn't join in on all the fun!

Thanks again to Angie and Glenna for loving on Mullen while mommy and daddy were gone!



The winner of the table contest!



2nd place winner!

I didn't get a picture of the third place winner.

Some people go to the extreme, but we like to keep ours simple and sweet! I loved our rustic decor!



Until next time...
