December, part 1

And we are rolling into December (a month late)

The holidays are SO MUCH FUN with children. And this year, Hudson was all things Santa, Christmas decorations, basically anything Christmas related. We really tried to emphasize Jesus' birthday and the real meaning of Christmas. But it was fun to talk to Hudson about what he wanted for presents and such. That was a first for us this year. Pretty much daily, he would comment on how pretty the tree was or remind me that he helped decorate it.

This year, we also had a first...the arrival of our elf, Harry. We explained to Hudson (and Sissy) that Harry can't be touched or his powers of talking to Santa would go away. We also used and abused the "Harry is watching you" thing waaaay to much this month. Hudson loved waking up every morning and seeing where Harry was. In our house, he just hangs from random places, sits on trees, etc... He doesn't get crazy.

Hudson's love for Harry about equals my love for dressing the kiddies in Christmas outfits. I just can't stop myself. 

Lillian and Barnes in front of the tree in the dining room.

Chickfila thursday mornings with Mccall and Walt. These babies love eachother!

Thread Social (my bffs Jamie and Katie's clothing business) had their first home party this month. 

My role is the janitor. Obviously, I gave myself a title because I don't like to feel left out. Ha!

Thread is killing it and I am so so proud of them! Plus, they keep me dressing cute which is always a plus. Please follow Thread Social on FB and insta. You won't regret it!

Sweet babies in sweet pima

Ty and Elizabeth's couples shower in Mccomb. Thank you Johna for hosting it at your beautiful house! We can't wait for the wedding in New Orleans in March....parents weekend away! what what!!!

We donned our matching pjs several times and went to look at Christmas lights in Madison. Again, Hudson was over the moon excited! And Lillian even loved them too

Barnes and that face. He says "I'm done"

And Sissy "rough hugger" Lindley

What a difference a year makes.
Please notice a few things: 1. Lillian's hair. Wow! I love those locks. 2. In the left pic, sweet Barnesy was in my tummy and now (right pic), he is large and in charge 3. Hudson Lindley no longer wears footed pjs (insert serious mommy tears)

Heading out for round 2 of Christmas lights

Love these babies!

We went to visit Santa in Livingston this year. I booked a santa session with my friend Becca Stewart, but our Christmas outfits didn't come in time for the session....total FWPs!

Kiki came with us to help maintain the wild crew

And we met Jamie and Cooper there too!

Hudson LOVED santa and would smile for days and days.

Sissy...not so much. She was just not having it on this day. Bless. Maybe next year!

We tried!
