goodbye, 2017!

we aren't doing anything fancy to say hello to the new year, and there won't be a single person in our house awake to see the clock click over....at least not on purpose!!  but, we did make a last minute trip to starkville yesterday.  we watched the bowl game (and somehow we managed to that one out) at camp house while putting away burgers, tacos, and shrimp po boys!

and then we went over to the hump and watched the bulldogs win again.  we must be good luck!  and we found a few other little blond headed boys to hang out with us while we were there!






i didn't ask how this game ended up, but i'm going to venture a guess and say william didn't win!  :)


so here's to hoping that 2018 is as fun as 2017 was!  bring on the new year!!

hello, christmas morning...


can't come down until i get the "top of the stairs" pic...





new glasses and a brother that i didn't notice until just now...


his new "surfboard"


he thought this was an office chair for his desk...


he was wrong, and he was happily surprised!


the christmas crew...



we got a robotic vacuum (his name is Filch), and we had to watch him work a while!!


trying out his new sleeping bag...


reed put a sign on his door while working on his new legos...


wes loves his new fathead...


naptime!


he's a little infatuated! he has no idea what he's doing, but he says he is going to teach himself.  we shall see!


i see many arguments in the future over foosball, but we have already determined one thing....mama is the worst foosball player in the house.


and now....we nap.  or at least sit and read one of our new books.  you know....anything to keep from having to take the tree down.  i've got at least a few more days!!
