Hotty Toddy Birthday Party

This year my birthday was celebrated with a sports theme in the Grove at Ole Miss. We totally lucked out and had a chilly but sunny Saturday morning. No birthday is complete without the best tailgating set-up, most of my family and all of my close friends!

Let's Play Ball!!!


Walsh's first birthday party!

Going for a spin on my new Schwinn!

Four generations of my family made it for my special day.
Here's my great grandmother and my great aunt.

Its hard to believe but this is only some of my cousins.
We missed you Davis, Lauren, and Conner.

One final bye kiss to my sweetie Julianna.

SNOW DAY!!!

Rumor has it I haven't since snow like this since the day I was born.

I can barely move in my snow suit.

Let's go back inside Mommy.

Big Boy Ride

Over Christmas break, Mommy FINALLY decided I was big enough to ride with Braden on his John Deere. Bye Mommy...

Come on Grandpapi

Three laps later we approach home base.

Mommy, I had the time of my life! I miss you Braden.

Our First Sleepover

We started the new decade with trivia play and a sleepover. After tuckering out early, we decided Charles needed to stay put in Sanders' new doggy blanket. Although there had been talk of Charles waking with the roosters, he slept like a perfect angel well into the morning.


Charles "taking a nap" and enjoying sweet dreams.

The boys were so surprised to find they had the whole morning to spend together. Here's some cozy time with the Wonder Pets.

The boys taking a quick break from playing for some yummy pancakes.

Charles is welcomed anytime!

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.
