It's playtime!!!

Taking a short break from playing to see Cali

Pooped out after an exciting morning!!!

Preparation for Christmas!

Some of the boys are putting together a wagon for Anthony for his "Santa" gift. It probably brought back some memories for Papa...Here he's mentoring the younger boys on "how to have a successful Christmas without reading the directions"!!! Haha!

Papa, Daddy, and Uncle Justin hard at work

Taking a breather to smile for the camera

Great job, boys!!! It was a huge success!

Fun Times in Memphis

This was certainly a jam-packed fun-filled weekend! Somehow in about four days, we cooked, decorated the tree, celebrated both Thanksgiving and Christmas, went out to eat...the boys chopped wood; Mar and I went on a date, Anthony and Meme and Papa went to ride the merry-go-round, and so much more!!! I don't seem to have pictures of HALF the stuff we did!!!

We went out to eat at Corky's--BBQ--yum!

The whole fam

No Cover Model Here!

Well, I think it's safe to say we didn't win the contest, as I haven't heard anything yet, and they stated winners would be notified by the end of January!!! I'm still holding out, I guess--just kidding! Anyway, I'm sure the picture we had posted was disqualified for one reason or another, or SURELY we would've won!!! ;)

Well, this is the first of many "catch up" posts I'll be doing over the next few weeks to let everyone know what they missed while we were in the contest.

Sooooooo, here we go!!!

HAPPY BABY PHOTO CONTEST

Here's our entry to the Happy Baby Photo contest...for a chance for Anthony to appear on the cover of Dr. Sears new book-- Happy Baby: The Organic Guide to Baby's First 24 Months (due out in September 2009). He is the ULTIMATE happy baby...Wish us luck!!!
