Happy 2013!

Happy 2013 everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your friends and family! We had a wonderful week with my family and with Ashley's family! These pictures are just a glimpse of the craziness that went on last week!

Here is William and an old teddy bear my dad gave me when I was little!

 I was so glad to get to go to Charlie's Christmas Party at his school! It was precious! I got to meet the infamous Lexi--he talks about her everyday!

 We took the boys to get pictures with Santa at Bass Pro--Charlie was all about Santa until we got into line and Santa looked at him and smiled! It was over--complete choke. Charlie wouldn't go near him! So I forced William to sit with Jolly St. Nick!

Art time with the boys-lasted about 15 minutes :)

William by the water...

We took the kids to ICE---it was "cool" to see and all...the ice sculptures are amazing...but William hated the 14 degree temperature and the oversized coat. So he and I saw the whole thing very quickly, but Charlie loved seeing Shrek!

 Sweet Bennett! Loved kissing him all week!

 Charlie loved giving baby Reagan her bottle!

 Loved seeing my Gran with all the kids! 

 One of William's favorite toys...a $3 gift from Dollar General!

Charlie is really into the Muppets right now! 

 Papa loved playing with the kids!

Charlie and Emerson hugging it out...

Sweet Hali!

Jackson and William were loving playing and getting into trouble!

Emerson is such a cutie!

Clayton Family

 Aunt Jennifer and Hali...mini me!

 awwwwwwww!

These kids love their Papa and Nana!

Best looking 89 year old Gran I know!

 Charlie is like my dad..give him a book on Christmas and he wont pay anymore attention to anything!

  

Look at her!!! GORGEOUS!

We had dinner one night with our lifelong friends--the Rayburn's! They are our second family and we love getting together! So great to see the kids play together like we used to when we were little! Love ya'll so much!!

 Jackson--my little buddy!

  

We got to visit with my cousin Courtney and her two kids, Sam and Coco! So sweet!

 We thought we could get a picture of all the kids looking...not even close!

 Anyone that knows Kelly knows how unbelievably AMAZING she is as a mother, wife, and friend! The way she is with all of the children is so sweet and special! My kids love "storytime with Kelly!" Her life is dedicated to her family and making sure they each know how loved and special they are! I am so lucky to have her as my sister-in-law and friend! Love you Kel!

 Gran and William- big buddies!

Charlie LOVES Reagan!

 Got to visit my my cousin Lauren and her hubby Jeremy, and their sweet son Jacob! Lauren and my Aunt Carol are such pretty girls!!

 Dad and I cleaning Bennett's teeth..he is the best patient ever! 

The only reason they are halfway looking is because Elmo is on in the background..just needed one picture and so desperate times call for desperate measures! Happy 2013!
