Christmas Gathering In North Alabama

The weekend before Christmas we went to Paul's parents to have Christmas with his brothers and their families.  It was very nice to see everyone.  It was fun to watch Reagan and Catherine interact together.  Last year Reagan was brand new so there was not much interaction between them.... but this year it was different.  They were so cute together.  We also celebrated Paul's dads birthday while we were there.

she could get her hands on.

Before opening presents

Lots of goodies

 A Curious George jack in the box

Reagan got a rocking horse.  It makes sounds and the head and tail move.  

Checking it out

Catherine and Reagan looking at the horse

Oh Catherine what do you have there?

Who needs toys

Some things are just better than toys.  After getting back from North Alabama it was time to switch out clothes and get packing for our next adventure.  As soon as we got home Paul had to get his things changed out, he was having to fly out that evening.  Reagan LOVES suitcases.  She climbs in and out of them and throws your clothes out for you.  We had some time so Reagan and Paul were playing and this is what they found to play with....  

 I'm ready to hit the slopes

How fun is this?

What's up mom?

Reading time

Sweet Friends

Our church had a Christmas Party for the kids at the beginning of December.  The parents were able to talk and the kids played in the gym.  Some decorated cookies.  Reagan was all over the place playing with friends and climbing on the toys.

 Look Dad!

 Oh getting ready to go down the slide.

Ha ha what is up with that face.

Now that Reagan is in Nursery 3 they are classmates

Reagan and Tate are all smiles!

This picture was gotten at the first attempt.  

I would say that was a success.

A few more pictures

 When there is a suitcase sitting around (which is all the time) this is what Reagan does.  I'm not sure what her attraction is to sitting in suitcases/ laundry baskets/ boxes.  But it is very entertaining to watch her climb in.  

Daddy has some cool stuff in his bag

 Hey mom!

Thanks for coming to get me!  

If your happy and you know it

Clap your hands....

December has been a pretty easy going month. Reagan is getting bigger and into EVERYTHING!

But it's a ton of fun.



Reagan loves to crawl into the closet and go under Paul's shirts and "hide".

With being into everything, Reagan has been given a cabinet in the kitchen.  She tries to go into others but we just direct her to her cabinet and all order is restored in the kitchen.

She loves to climb in the cabinet.  She was SO proud of herself.   

Its so funny when she climbs in the cabinet.  She will even "play" music with the lids.

We just love Reagan and watching her grow and explore  everyday.

Moving on up

Reagan has moved from Nursery 2 to Nursery 3.  She loves her new classmates and teachers.  Rebecca and Tiffany are so sweet to her.  Reagan's mom is so happy that she is enjoying her new class.  It makes the day much easier without Reagan  climbing up my leg for me to hold her all day.

Enjoying snack time

(yum cheese puffs)

Crazy face

By the end of the day we are all ready to go home so we have started going 

into the gym to get rid of some energy and for a change of scenery.

Reagan and Ellasyn are such sweet friends.  

Ellasyn and Reagan "shopping"

In the afternoons for the last hour of school some of the smaller kids we let go in the gym.  Reagan's friend Eli likes to go in the gym too.  They have so much fun playing together.

They were discussing dinner plans! :)

How cute!  Eli is such a sweet little boy.  He has an awesome mom and we love
working with her.  Eli is approved for being on the dating list. :)

Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
