Christmas Spirit!!

We had a very nice Thanksgiving Day! We had a big lunch with the family at Mimi and Papa Jim's house. We came home that evening and started decorating for Christmas. We got our Christmas Tree up, hung up the stockings and the wreath, and got out all of the other decorations for Christmas. Even Lydia joined in on the fun:-)

And then the night of Thanksgiving, Carlos: Jessica's Elf on the Shelf returned! Jessica woke up and found him hanging on the cork board one morning:

The night after, Carlos was playing a game of Twister with Jessica's 1 Direction dolls and American Girl dolls. LOL!

He he he! And we went to Nana and Abuelo's house in the evening to watch the Auburn game and hang out with Emmy and Elly:

And then this morning, we found Carlos in the kitchen closet. He was hiding the trick-or-treat bucket from Halloween with all of the leftover Halloween candy! Silly Carlos!!

We can't wait to see what other kinds of mischief Carlos gets into this holiday season! We're so excited about Christmas time!

Happy 17th Birthday, Kayla!

It's hard to believe that Kayla turned the big 17 today!
Kayla opened a card with some money and a gift: the newest One Direction CD: Four and Taylor Swift's latest album : 1989.
We spent the day shopping all over The Avenue.
For dinner, the whole family ate at Shogun's Japanese Hibachi. We were so stuffed! Then we went home and let Kayla blow out 17 candles on her chocolate cake. I would say she had a pretty good birthday!

My Mommy Loves Me!

Dear Dairy, I am so active at night right before I go to sleep! Here I am cooing, babbling, and kicking my legs out of control! I am such a hyper baby!

And my mommy loves to give me hugs and kisses right before bedtime and ALL the time! I am so loved by my mommy:)

And here is my mommy feeding my bottle to me before bedtime!

Good night! Love, Lydia

Wake Up, Jessie!

Dear Diary,
My big sis, Jessica has a hard time waking up on the mornings! Here I am trying to wake her up so she can get to school on time!
Love,
Lydia:-)

Indoor Cold Fun

Dear Diary, It's only November in Georgia and it has all ready been freezing cold outside! My daddy just bought a bunch of firewood last weekend. He built a fire for the first time in our newest house. Here was my bigger sister, Jessie coloring and staying warm by the fire in the fireplace:)

Jessica also made this pet rock. She named her pet rock, Rosie. I think it's so cute!

And here I was watching the Auburn football game the other night. I love my pink Auburn gear! Auburn lost that game, but it was fun to watch any ways. War Eagle any ways! I will still be a Tiger fan no matter what!! These are just a few pics of me being a stay-at-home baby with my mommy when it's too cold to play outside!

He he he! And here is me chilling in my bouncy seat! You can see my dog, Yogi in the pictures. I think he gets a little jealous that my mommy seems to give me more attention than him! LOL. Poor Yogi. But I love Yogi and my whole family too! Love, Lydia

Last Soccer Game

Today was Jessica's last soccer game of the season. She did great! Today she scored 1 goal for the team and later played goalie near the end of the game. Jessica scored many goals this season! She was a good team player, especially for this being her first real year playing soccer:) She was said today was the last game, but she is looking forward to playing again in the spring and next fall, and so forth!

Jessie's Play Date

Jessie's friend, Ainsley came over on Friday night to play with Jessie. They had a ton of fun!

Everybody Loves Me!

Dear Diary, Both of my grandmothers came by on 2 different days to take care of me. They sure did have lots of fun:)

Mimi came on Monday to watch me. I was laughing and giggling and entertaining her!

Oh, and here's a picture of my big sis, Kayla:)

Then Nana came on Wednesday to watch me. Again, we had a ton of fun!

I'm so good at laughing and cooing and smiling at everybody! Everybody sure loves me. I'm a sweet baby girl! Love, Lydia
