Christmas Day!

THANK YOU SANTA. I LOVE YOU!

Christmas time is here

Christmas time is finally here! We started December with our first family appearance in the Oxford Christmas parade. Here we are playing Santa's elves with daddy's rotary group.

Next, was Sanders' first school program. Although his class was featured for about two minutes, Sanders did a great job. Look at all of the babies in their holiday pj's. Thanks Nana and Ms. Jan for coming to see his first performance.

We followed one pajama event with another. Here's Sanders and his best friends posing for dozens of pictures after a holiday breakfast. They may not all be looking in the same direction at the same time but you get the idea. We all love and thank the Edmondsons for the matching pullovers!

From left to right, Carson, Carlisle, Elliott, Julianna, Sanders, Mason, Charles and Cohen.

"My" Santa is the perfect size. Just a few more days...stay tuned for more Christmas pics.

Some Fall Favorites

On the Road Again

We drove to Chapel Hill to visit with Henry, Alexis and her parents. We went the scenic route, but Sanders may have missed a few things along the way....

Hiking

Playing at Children's Museum

DRUMS!!!

And train rides....

"Come on Henry!" It's time for ice cream and chocolate milk.

He loves shoes -- especially squeaky ones!

Sun & Sand

Mommy, Daddy and I needed a summer break and traveled down to Grampa and Nana's house in Punta Gorda. We had eight great days all to ourselves. Our last trip was over a year ago when I was tiny so this time I played in the pool and sand and enjoyed the special time with Mommy and Daddy.

Being such a big boy on our flight down.

Building sand castles and enjoying every moment
in Venice Beach.

Kick, kick, kick.

Mommy taking her turn pushing my boat float in the ocean.

A Mattox family classic at Fisherman's Village.

The playground downtown was a great "dry" attraction.

The Imaginarium was so much fun. I saw all kinds of fish, reptiles and other critters. I also played with the hands-on exhibits and here I am filling my shopping cart with all the tomatoes I could get my hands on.

Perfecting my curve ball....

I got to swim and splash with Daddy every single day.

which also happened to her birthday.
