Christmas sneak peek

Sunday's in December

The past three Sundays I have taken a few pictures before heading out the door to church. I love this time of year for so many reasons. One being that the Christmas tree makes a great backdrop for pictures.

I had never used my timer until this day. I was testing it out on B.

Notice a few more presents have been wrapped and added under the tree. I'm slowly getting there :)

Thanksgiving 2011

Here are the pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend. I just realized that I had yet to post them. I didn't take many during the course of the weekend but here they are. 

Thanksgiving Day

 Papa and Granny got Baylee an LSU pillow pet. That brings her to a total for 3 pillow pets.

Goddard's 2nd Annual Christmas Program

Tonight we attended the Christmas program for Goddard. It was held at Bluegrass Country Club in Gallatin. The place was PACKED!!!! Baylee did great. Here's a family photo taken after the program.

My favorite ornaments

Friday night we put up and decorated our Christmas tree. I stole the idea for this post from this blog. :) Here are some of my favorite ornaments on our tree.

My friend Hannah bought this ornament for Carl and I last year. It's big, colorful and I love it!

 I think this one came from my friend Holly one year. Everyone knows how crazy us Louisiana people are about our Tigers!

 Penny, a sweet lady that Carl works with bought this from Gatlinburg before Baylee was born. 

 I picked this one up from Hallmark the same year Carl and I were married.

 My Daddy bought this for us the same year we were married and had moved to Tennessee. I guess he didn't want us to forget our roots. :)

 I have had this ornament since I was in 5th grade. My best friends grandmother bought this for me from a craft fair we went to in Natchez, MS and I have had it on my tree every year since then.

 The next two were given to us from Carl's grandmother the year Baylee was born.

 I just love how this one sparkles.

HERRRRRRRE'S FREDDY!

When we got out of bed this morning a little elf was in Baylee's stocking. She spotted him and gasped and said "Look Mom, a gift from Santa." Baylee named her elf  Freddy. She thinks it is the coolest thing ever that she has her very own elf.
