Happy Holidays!

How is it already January, 2016? I have gotten really behind in blogging, so this is a pretty lengthy post. There are tons of great pictures, so without further ado: 

James is growing like a weed, and he is so much taller and bigger than the last time I blogged. It's crazy!



James got to meet Santa Claus, and it went pretty well considering it was in the middle of his normal nap time. Santa looks a little constipated if you ask me. 

I try to do crafty things with my chalkboard, and thank goodness for Pinterest. I copied this from there. Doesn't it look good?

The week of Thanksgiving! 



We had a wonderful time at Ryan's parents' new mountain house in Morganton, GA. I planned to take our Christmas card pictures while we were there since there is such beautiful scenery to choose from. It was a lot harder than I thought. Here are a few pics that did not make the cut out of tons more...





It was wonderful to spend time with everyone over Thanksgiving break. It was very relaxing, and we ate so much yummy food. 

James loves his Aunt MaryAnn

James and his beautiful Mia

I love this picture of James getting kissed by his Grandpa

We had a lot of fun going into Blue Ridge. MaryAnn got to try out an electric/motorized bike. Who knew such a thing existed? 

Once we were back in North Augusta, I tried to take some more pictures of James by himself for the Christmas card. Let me tell you- it was almost impossible. James is usually such a happy baby who smiles all of the time, but he wasn't having it this day. He finally smiled at some strangers who walked up to help out. Thank goodness for them, or it wouldn't have been possible. That little stinker!







Growing, growing 




Look at me Mom!



He loves taking selfies.. not sure if this is a good thing! :)

Ryan and I went to the Internal Medicine Christmas party, and it was a blast!


We were able to do Christmas in Georgia and Mississippi, so it was great. We got to see everyone! 

James turned 8 months while we were in Jonesboro, GA. James has gotten very mobile, which makes taking pictures of him much harder than usual. He also loves to put anything and everything in his mouth- making the Christmas tree an easy target! 

Randy got to show James off at his office

This picture cracks me up. He did not want to take this picture, but I figured- hey, this is real life. So oh well! 


Much happier here with his new shape sorter that his Mimi got him for Christmas!


We went to see Star Wars while we were in Mississippi. It was amazing to say the least. 

Uncle Austin and his girlfriend, Chelsea, flew in from San Diego, and they had a blast with James!





We got to eat at Ajax, and it was just as great as I remembered!

Bailey came into town, and we had so much fun seeing her!

We wore James out, poor baby! He fell asleep just like this. 

One of my sweet friends, Erin Smith, sent us a Christmas care package in the mail! It was such a treat, and James loved his new book! 

Ready for Christmas! 


Mary Cile was home for the holidays from Montana, and she came to Oxford for the afternoon. We got to meet her for lunch at Ajax, and James loved her! I sure do miss you MC!

James finally getting to open some presents! 

Uncle Austin, James, and Chelsea on Christmas morning

Fins up!



Do you like my bow?








James loved his football


It was so warm while we were in Oxford, that we got to hang out outside a lot. It was so nice!




Thank you Austin and Chelsea for my Simba! 

James loves his Pappy!

James got a lot of wonderful Christmas presents. He is one blessed little boy!





James loved his soccer ball too! He is so athletic already! :)



And musical! 

We got to test out the new bowling alley in Oxford, and it was so fancy! 


On the way back to North Augusta, we stopped in Jonesboro to see everyone one last time. 

Thank goodness for that selfie stick! 

James got to meet one of Ryan's oldest friends, Mike! 




MaryAnn's funny snapchat


Back at home!

Cheering on the Rebels in the Sugar Bowl! It must have worked because we won! 


James still loves to jump! 

James spotted his favorite Graduates puffs (I call them crack puffs) while we were on the baby food aisle at the grocery store, and he threw a fit... so I gave in and let him eat some while we were in line. He has me wrapped around his little finger already. 

James loving his Winnie the Pooh bear that Mimi got him! 

How we rung in the New Year- in our pajamas

James showing off some of his new threads that he got for Christmas from the Greenbergs! He is so fancy! 


Lastly, this is Ryan reading to James last night before he went to bed. So sweet! 

That's all folks! Have a great weekend, and try to stay warm!
