Santa Pics Through the Years...

 This was a fun trip down memory lane...

This one is my all time FAVORITE! Bless Hudson's heart....he thinks we don't love him.  We do love you Hudson....that's why you are dressed in that darling crush velvet jacket and custom distressed jeans!  One of my all time favorite outfits on him.  And Little La is a  complete doll baby! 

Hudson would NOT stay in Santa's lap and he was quick enough to get away from Santa....so I was forced to be in the pic!  I was thrilled.

 

December Randoms

Here are La's cheer team pics.

They ended their season performing at a Cheer competition for Jr and Sr High Squads that was held at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR.  They didn't compete.  Just performed as an exhibition squad. It was a lot of fun for them and they nailed their routine!  Lawson is on on your left as you watch.  Best cartwheel she has ever done!  Go La!

La and Hud were both in the Bryant Christmas parade.  La was on the Empire Cheer float.  Hudson was selected to ride on the Bryant Elementary School float.  He won an essay contest for his grade on the subject of "What Christmas Means to Me."  Way to go, Hudson! Everyone on the BES float was a winner for their grade.

The BES float was so cute!  It was two sided and had representations of local businesses in Bryant.  (The Bryant Library, Larry's Pizza, Hornet Cafe, etc."  The detail on it was amazing!  I can't imagine how long it took the teachers to build!

The kids with Mr. Burbank, their principal.

The kids always love putting up their trees in their bedrooms!

We put lights up this year!  Last year we didn't get that far! Really festive!

All set for this most wonderful time of the year!

Our elf from Santa, Max, returned when we got back from Thanksgiving tip!  We were SO excited to see him!  Here are a few pics from his visit!

November Randoms

Just a couple for November.

We had Disney night at Kids Life Groups one Sunday night.  (Hudson was out of town hunting with Rob.)  Lawson has outgrown all of her princess costumes...so we had to think outside the box!  Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story!  This might be my all time favorite costume for her!  WE made it with felt on one of Rob's old t-shirts!  It was adorable! I so wish Hudson hadn't been out of town...he would have made a great Mr. Potato head!

I love our backyard in fall!  The colors are gorgeous!  The pic does not do it justice!  The colors just pop in real life!
