Snow

Hollis loves loves loves the snow. He would stay outside in it all day if he could. He got to play in his 1st snow while I was at work. Oh well at least he was having lots of fun. I got to play in it the next couple of days. Crystal took all of these pictures.

Notice Hollis is wearing Mamie's mittens.

The Hill

Lyla is giving the 3 amigos a push down the hill. This hill is perfect bc it is not too long but it is steep. It does not look like there is hardly even any snow on it at all. They went down it over and over again.

Day 3 there was lots more snow

1st Hair Cut

Crystal and Hollis with his long hair

Right before Christmas, Zach, Crystal, and Mimi took Hollis to get his 1st official haircut. I think I have cut on it about 20 times before. He has got lots of hair. They were thinking it was going to be a fun little outing.

All he could do was cry. They could not even get him to stop crying with a sucker.

He is glad it is finally over. I dread taking him next time since it was such a fun experience. He is due for a hair cut soon.... we might just let it go long again.

Happy New Year

Hope your new year is as cool as the dudes!
This is the only way to get a picture of 5 kids.
Feed them fish. Hope your year is started off to a good start.

Geetar

We opened presents at Zach's parent's house either Christmas Night or the next. I can not remember by that time.
Hollis got a guitar

He loves playing it and singing!

HoHo Came

All Hollis wanted from Santa was a helmet.

That is all he would talk about. I wonder what kind he wanted?? Well Santa came and brought a train table, which he liked but knew he did not ask for. Then under the table he found it.

And he was so proud! We got to spend Christmas morning at home with Zach's family. We ate breakfast and then loaded up to AL. Mimi opening a gift Zach and Crystal at Granny Browns

Christmas Eve

Deeer

Hollis is in love with deeeer and ho ho this season. Not sitting on his lap, but going to the mall climbing on the fence and yelling and waving at him til he waves back.The 3 stooges

Happy Birthday

Branson(yes, xmas eve) and Jeff (a few days later)

unwrapping presents Mamie and her scooter.
This is what they all three played on all night long. If you need a good gift for a 20 month old, 2 1/2, or 41/2 year old. It is the 3 wheeled scooter from learning express. They rode that thing all over the house.

Christmas Part I

We celebrated Christmas with my mom's parents and side of the family. This is a picture of my mom and Lilly. My mom opened her eyes, which she never does in pictures. Good job mom!

Modeling the girls' gifts

So sweet.... at the end of the night the kids were so tired.

They were watching tv in another room and all three of them were sitting in my dad's chair. They love each other so much.
