The Countdown to Christmas...

We hope you are all doing great and getting excited about Christmas!  We have been doing our best to make sure that this is a memorable Christmas for Connor!  It's the first year that he finally seems to "get it," and man are we ever doing our part to instill some good ole' traditions in this household!  We have had lots of fun at church events, Christmas parades, the Speedway in Lights, putting up decorations, making Christmas cookies, watching Christmas movies, and singing Christmas songs!  This weekend we are even taking Connor and Cole caroling with the church!  So exciting!  Here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks...we even had a special visit from Suzie last week!  What a wonderful and blessed season this is in our lives!

This is Connor on 11/28, playing with his dinosaurs in the loft!


On 12/2, we took the boys to their very first Christmas parade in Johnson City.  We missed the Bristol parade because we were all sick that night :(  Check out their new wheels!!


Cole, enjoying the parade!


Connor decided that he would have the best view atop his Daddy's shoulders!


On Saturday, 12/3, we decided to decorate the house!  I didn't have enough hands to take pictures while we did it, but here are some from that morning, as we watched Rudolph (Connor's favorite Christmas movie) and sang carols!  This is Cole at nearly 11 weeks old!


Connor sure does love his baby brother!


Our sweet boy and his frosty!


Precious moments!


Did I mention how much Connor loves his cat, Seany?!  He is absolutely obsessed with Seany right now!  Here he is hugging Seany!


Cole, trying out his Bumbo seat!


Such a handsome boy!


This is Connor, hugging Seany, on 12/4!


Kissing the little one on 12/6!


Connor and Cole and I headed to the store to get ready for Suzie's visit on 12/8!


Suzie finally got here on 12/9!  This is Connor, giving her the Christmas present we made for her!


Daddy and Cole!


A jolly Cole on 12/10!


Suzie and Connor, petting Seany, on 12/11!


Cole, watching his brother on 12/11!


Best friends!


On 12/12, I left Cole for a few minutes, to clean up, and this is what I found when I got back...Connor didn't want him to feel alone!


Later that night, we had dinner at Jo-Jo and Granddaddy's house!  Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but Cole LOVES his Granddaddy! 


My precious boy, at 12 weeks old, on 12/15!


Such a happy baby!  We are so blessed!


Cole, saying goodbye to Suzie on 12/16 :(  We had such a great week with her and hate to see her go :( 



Christmas has a whole new meaning now that we can teach Connor all about it.  Can't wait until Cole is also old enough to understand!  What a wonderful time of year!
