Wow...where has December gone?

I just noticed I haven't posted since November. That is just craziness! Where has the whole month gone? Oh yeah, that's right, it's the busiest/happiest/chalked full of activities/most expensive time of the year!! We have had a great December. Uncle William (my little brother) was in the Christmas parade downtown with his highschool. We headed down to River Street to cheer him on!
Mooma and Davis waiting to spot Uncle William
Grady and Bryce
Willy Wonka himself :)
Oh and did I mention that my alma mater won the Football State Championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next day we went to see Santa, or as Grady so bluntly put it, "a man dressed up as Santa."

Lilly Gayle and Stella chessed for Santa too

And then of course, where there's a tree, there will be climbing!
Grady had a Christmas pageant at school and Mimi saved the day in the final hour by whipping up the best shepherd costume this side of Texas! They did a terrific job and were all adorable.
His grand entrance :)

Grady and Mrs. Powers, the best teacher ever!





Then Allison(aka Watt) from Infertility Overachievers came to visit. We took our 4 boys to the Journey, a live nativity here in Savannah, and then she and baby Holden spent the night. It was so much fun. My boys were in hog heaven!!



Since school was out, my nephew Tate was able to come and play and boy did these monkeys have fun!

 
Christmas itself was an absolute blast. Exhausting but awesome! We had so much fun with friends and family and Santa brought the boys a fort for the backyard. I really don't know who is more excited, me or them! They are loving it and having something really fun to do outside is fantastic. Here are a few more pics to sum up the month. Hope to get back into the swing of things now that the New Year is here! Happy 2012!

All our kiddos at the annual Helton Christmas Eve breakfast!
Electric scooters from Mimi and Poppy!
Ready for Santa!
 Love the looks on their little faces on Christmas morning!

Hope got a new toy too and was obsessed and very grateful!
The new fort!

Gotta love these little men!!
