Christmas Parade!

I got to take Logan to his 1st Christmas parade in downtown Vicksburg yesterday! I was really worried that he would be to cold, cranky, and not like being confined to the stroller. I also figured the loud music from the marching bands would scare the crap out of him too! I was wrong about all! He had so much fun! He was soooo good through the entire 45 minute long parade!!! He LOVED all of the marching bands...he even danced as most of them passed! :) It was tooo cute!

All bundled up, waiting for the parade to start....

Lexi & Logan, these 2 refused to look at the camera at the same time!!!


Checking out how he can get his hands on my camera during the parade! :)


They had fake snow coming down during parts of the parade. So Shaun & I figured we needed a picture in the only snow we were going to get!

Logan's favorite float! Actually it was my favorite float! The little dancers behind this float were sooo cute!


Don't have gloves....Just use socks! :)

Logan watching one of the marching bands pass...I think this was Vicksburg Junior High's band if I remember correctly!

...it was so much fun! I can't wait for next year's parade! :)

Santa

We took Logan today to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop. I'm not really sure had who had the most fun...Logan or his parents! Here are the pictures of him playing in "Santa's Wonderland" at Bass Pro waiting on Santa to arrive! He refused to look at the camera in most of these pictures! The one that I could get him to finally look at me...he looked at me like "why are you interrupting my play time mother?!" Also, in the one of him looking at the camera...don't you just love how this is suppose to be a play place for children & check out all the plug ins behind his right shoulder!!!! Can we say mildly dangerous?

The one and only shot I got of Logan with Santa before it was all over....What do you suppose he was thinking? :)

Thanksgiving

This year was the first year that I hosted Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, at my house. I was so nervous that something wasn't going to go right. I know most people don't worry about stuff like this, but tradition has always been a big part of our family holidays. Everything was great, and I think everyone had a good time! I hope this starts out a new tradition for us! Here are some of the pics from today!

Logan was the first one to get to dig in, courtesy of Papaw Douglas!

He loved it!

Trying to snap with Grandma! :)

Logan being sweet & hugging Lexi. This was too adorable...Lexi was just standing away from him, and Logan reached out, pulled Lexi to him & gave her a big hug....tooo sweet!

Here is Nana Brenda trying desperately to get Logan to look at her for a picture!

Drake LOVES our waterfall , he is nonstop up on that rock watching the water go down...Oh little boys! :) The things that amuse them!

Now is this typical of what men do at holidays or what...just stand around, talk about nothing (or hunting...sorry!) and look at nothing!

Still trying to get that shot!

Little Miss Princess Lexi flirting with the camera! What a doll!

Still looking pretty typical!

....and STILL trying to get that shot, huh, Brenda!?!

We also tried to be photographers today!

Drake fell....not sure why, but I remember it was pretty cute at the time...and I like the look on his face in this pic!

Sweet little family!

Logan & Daddy.....

Now you see how we got him to smile like that in the picture above.... :)

My little fam!

Doing his favorite thing...being outside & holding a stick?!? What is it with the sticks?

Thanksgiving 2008! (gotta love timers!)

Crashin' Computer!

Well it is so nice to finally have this piece of trash back! I haven't posted in a while, because my computer crashed a couple of weeks ago. :( It was awful! I got what is apparently called . . . "the blue screen of death" . . .whatever that means? I just know that screen came up & them bam......nothing? I have a friend who's hubby is obviously a computer genius! He fixed it for us! Thank God for that! I was convinced I was going to have to buy another computer. When that happens you just realize how dependent our lives are on these stupid things! For those of you who don't "back up" your stuff on the computer already...please start to do so now! Promise . . .it will save you a lot of heartache!

The night after it crashed it took it to our friend to get fixed. . . when I walked in the door with the broken computer, her 20 month old said "Trash?" . . .how appropriate.
