New Years.....

New Years Eve for dinner we went out with Nannie, Popo and Uncle Greg.....nice and relaxing

I am not to sure he wanted to smile.......

Give her food and she will EAT

Pavlik Family Christmas....

Paisley meeting Marcie----I think she really took to her!!

He is all smiles today and ready to play and play HARD

Nannie helps him unwrap his gift..Thanks Nannie

My white elephant gift was a hit among the little kids....mental note next year NO popcorn peanuts...truth of the matter is I needed them out of my house ASAP so I wrapped the 1st possilbe gift in them.

Reagan and Paisley......like the FRILLY cap (dont worry she did have a BIG bow one but she now prefers to eat most things so we temporarily replaced with my most favorite cap)

Christmas at Nannie and Popo's

Can you tell there is excitement in the air.......I know the kids were anxiously awaiting this time together. Callen was Nannie's big helper one night and helped her wrap several presents. So trust me when I say faces lite up.

Daddy and Paisley were opening gifts see her pretty new doll.....and in the bag was a precious new bracelet with a little more growing it will fit PERFECT.

The dude wanted to take it all in and have a snack and do the finalle opening of presents. Unfortunately he doesnt do well when woken up from a nap...but that is ok momma will take snuggles any day!!

Cousin Kayden even posed for a picture.....check out that smile

Popo was loving on his itty bitty.....he has really become hands on with her maybe it is because she is ALWAYS happy..(yes I know I will eat my words when she is a teen but till then)

See the excitement on their faces (by the way pictures are compliments of Uncle Matt)

Wheely riders...what F-U-N

Look at the princess posing once again

Can you feel the love they share...sometimes mom has to say easy brother because he loves her so. What a great gift we gave our children--siblings

And before we knew it the FUN was over and more family was arriving.....

Some where a bit more tuckered out then others

Our Family Christmas...

We had our family Christmas right after church it was sooo nice-- just me the hubs and our 2 precious children.

Paisley and her daddy opened her goodies.....

The dude opened his and helped sissy along the way....

She loved her new baby.....can you tell she was telling mommy all about her baby..heehehee

Look close see the drull-- my kissable girl was showing mommy she knows how to give the best slobber kisses guess we have taught her sugars are the best (and Paisley sugars most definately are!!!)

It was a GREAT 1st family Christmas with the 4 of us....I count my blessings over and over and am so thankful for what God has in trusted me with.

Next up Santa comes to our house.....

to visit not 1 but 2 sleeping beauties. It was wonderful waking them up making them hurry to get dressed to see the goodies Santa had left them. This is really the 1st year Callen understood the whole Santa concept. Now let me let it be known Callen is NOT a Santa fan up close from afar and in regards to Crosby (our elf) he is OK with the whole concept but that is about as far as it goes. Now onto some SANTA

F-U-N

We stuck to our Santa plan 1 BIG gift a smaller gift & a stocking full. And then mommy and daddy gave 3 gifts just like the wise men did for baby Jesus--dont get me wrong then didnt lack and mommy and daddy gifts often had more then one thing hiding inside. Either way you can tell Callen was thrilled.

Paisley got a new PINK car something that Santa knew she needed to add to the abundance of green (aka John Deere) that fills our house......she liked it and even shared with her brother- That's my girl!!

Callen and Paisley did stockings together per her brother's request it was precious....they even read about baby angel's lord knows there is a special one watching over them and many others. Callen loved sitting in his and Paisley's chairs--let me be the 1st to admit we have always had 2 we purchased on then recieved one as a gift (both for Callen) when we got pregnant with Paisley her brother Callen (who at the time didnt talk) said her name I immediately knew his soon to be sissy's name would be Paisley not much long after that we ordered sissy a cover that he gave her upon arrival. Luckily for mommy this is one thing I took care of early- and for months Callen will tell you which chair is his and which is sissy's for when she is bigger so his eye lit up when he saw them both by the tree and that is when he offered to help sissy in her chair.

Hajovsky Christmas...

Next up was Christmas eve for Hajovsky Christmas.....we had a blast and were greatful we didnt have to rush off to head to Austin (as in year's past we have done this). The kids enjoyed themselves and the adults had a blast with our 1st ever white elephant christmas. All in all it was a magical night leading up to Santa....or as Callen tells you Baby Jesus's birthday

Paisley was super excited I think it was because she LOVED her bow soooo much!! lol

Ian was teaching my girl all about football......gotta love that she eats EVERYTHING

The boys were doing a drumroll to get ready to open presents- Can you tell they were super excited!!

Let present time begin.....

Sara so graciously helped Paisley and made sure she didnt eat any paper because she definately tried

You can tell she must have been HUNGRY--lol

Cousin Kendall graciously sported a bow which is NOT her style but to please me and Paisley she agreed...never did she know I would BLOG about it--heeheheee

Uncle Mark loves having a girl in his life---Paisley make up for all those BOYS he has....lol we even gave him a frilly pink picture of Paisley because there green and RED house needed some pink!!! lol

The boys watched her to make sure no blocks were harmed and eatten....

And we ended the night building planes and trying to get the dude to take just one picture...lol

Because it is NEVER long enough

I feel like we rush through alot when it comes to traveling to Austin......heck we still to date havent found time to do Christmas with Mimi and Pappy.....but we make the best of our trips and for that we are thankful that my family is soooo understanding. The day we left I wanted to capture my kids and there Bebe.....Callen calls her all the time and one dany in the near future I think Paisley may run to her for all sorts of girly advice. Thanks for the endless memories

Christmas at Bebe's

Ok...I know I am days behind but lets be honest I have been putting my kids 1st.....and this whole blog thing will lack occasionally then I play catch up like a mad women.

Christmas at Bebe's was wonderful besides the sick momma (that would be me) that resided in the house. My children thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they always do. Callen was stuck to his bubba's side (Blaine) and Paisley got lots of girl talk and loving from Bebe. Dont worry so did Callen Bebe never forgets her #1 dude--shhhh just a secret sometimes it makes Uncle Blaine JEALOUS....but that is ok Blaine we love you to the moon and back and heck wen you were a babe you tought me all about this momma stuff because let's admit it your were my #1 sidekick (guess 16 years difference has its perks).

We had a great Christmas meal and then Callen decide he couldnt stand it any longer it was time for gifts...so that is just what we did.

I dont know who was more excited Callen of the BIG boys around him...lol

He is my very observant dude like to watch EVERYTHING that goes on Now the Princess had one thing on her mind EATING whatever she could get her hands on... Foget the most precious stuff inside.....lets just eat the box Bebe
If you look close you will see STAMPS.....yes Bebe made his heart flutter because this dude loves to stamp himself up......
