I have spent hours updating all of the fall posts with pictures. I didn't realize how behind I was! Life has been so busy that there is little time for keeping up with this blog! Sorry that some of them are full of way too many pictures!
I am heading to Miami with my mom, my aunts, and my cousin! We are heading to watch the Tigers in the Orange Bowl. Tim will have the boys by himself until Friday afternoon! Pray for patience and easy bedtimes! This is the first time I have been away from the boys for more than one night! I will definitely miss them!
We have been enjoying some warm temperatures. It is supposed to be in the 50's when I get back. I am looking forward to January when we have some quiet weekends planned!
Go Tigers!

More Christmas Fun!
Noni got us a Minion Gingerbread house. The boys had a great time!
We have still been watching Elf and singing, "Poop, there it is!" We are still looking at Christmas lights and listening to the boys say, "Look at my side!".

Baby VH
I am so far behind on blogging and adding pictures! My goal is to get all pictures uploaded tomorrow.
We are excited to welcome Baby #3 in May! I am almost 20 weeks, and the baby is due May 17th. I have been really tired and am finally getting some energy back. Otherwise, I have been feeling well. Jackson is excited about the baby and has decided we should name him/her KiKi or Thumper. Brooks has no clue what he is in for, and I am worried he is going to have a difficult time. He is a big Mama's boy!
We have our ultrasound on January 5th! Thankfully this pregnancy is going by very quickly! I feel like we will blink, and they baby will be here!

Merry Christmas!
Jackson woke up around 6:15 this morning. The first thing he asked me was if Santa has already come because he did not hear the reindeer on the roof. He was so excited that he woke up Brooks. Down the stairs they went. Jackson was so excited. Brooks was still tired and was still in a fog!
They were both really excited about the Polar Express train that goes around the tree. Jackson opened his presents really quickly. Brooks took his time. We had to make him finish opening all of his. They both wanted to play with everything as they opened it. Jackson was sweet and wrapped up some toys for Brooks to open. He was so excited to give him a gift. Both boys were sad that Buddy left, but he did leave them a note and a special present.
Noni and Papa Jerry came over and ate cinnamon rolls with us. The boys were excited to show off all of their presents. They also got to talk to Grandma and Grandpa. The boys had a few hours to play before we left for all of our family events.
We went to Noni and Papa Jerry's first. Jackson dug into his presents, and we had to make Brooks open his. The boys were really excited to get a John Deere tractor to ride on at Noni's.
We went to Joyce and Ernie's house next. We ate lasagna and yummy banana pudding. The boys had a great time playing with Kelin. They had to the most fun balling up tissue paper and throwing it at each other!
We ended the night at Luvi's house in Greenville. Brooks was excited to go to her house. The boys had fun playing with Will and Thatcher. Of course, they got into Luvi's CVS stash. They opened their presents, and then Santa came for a visit. Jackson hopped right up there. It took Brooks awhile, but then he joined in too. The boys went to get cookies for Santa, and he left while they were looking for cookies. The boys were so funny! They ran out the front door yelling for Santa to come back. Poor Brooks spent the rest of the night telling everyone, "He gone. Santa one." He seriously told everyone there at least 5 times. They found some spotlights in the sky that they thought might be Santa. They dragged everyone out there to look at them. People would ask them where Santa was, and Brooks would say, "I not know."We got in the car, and Brooks was still talking about Santa.
We had such a wonderful day with family. We are so blessed to have so many people who love our boys. They had such a magical day. Christmas has been so fun this year because the boys are at such a great age. They love all of the magic!

Christmas Eve
We woke up to Buddy swinging from the ceiling fan in the kitchen. He even brought the boys a good-bye present- a box of decorated cookies straight from the North Pole!
We spent most of this rainy day in our pajamas! I finished up our cinnamon rolls. Then the boys and I made cookies for Santa. They loved using the cookie cutters. Brooks ate most of the icing. Jackson really liked putting the icing on the cookies. Brooks loved pouring tons of sprinkles on his cookies.
Jackson has been so excited all week, and he cannot wait until Santa comes. He has decided to sleep upstairs though because he does not want Santa to "peek at him" while he is sleeping!
We Zoomed with Susie and Emma today. Then it was time to get ready for church. Brooks refused to nap but of course fell asleep on the way. Thankfully one of his buddies was already in the nursery, so he was fine. We sat in the balcony so we could enjoy the beauty of the candlelight service. Jackson spent most of the time jumping off the step, so I am not sure that was the best idea. He kept asking when we were going to light the candles over and over! When it finally came time, he was really nervous to hold his candle. That is the first time he has been that close to a candle (other than on a birthday cake!). He would hold it for a few seconds and then pass it to one of us. It was very sweet. That is one of my favorite services of the entire year.
We enjoyed shrimp and grits for dinner. Noni and Papa Jerry came over. We attempted some pictures, but Brooks was not in the best mood since he went without a nap! The boys did have fun putting out the cookies for Santa. We also through our reindeer food outside. We read the story of Jesus's birth from their Jesus Calling bible. Then both boys fell asleep really quickly. Jackson did wake up in the middle of the night asking me about the reindeer food!
