Christmas Festivities

Joshua has enjoyed the Christmas season. However, he isn't quite old enough to be excited about Christmas morning. It seems his favorite part of Christmas has been looking at lights and decorations. Hopefully he won't be too disappointed when the yard decorations are taken down.

Present opening began on Christmas Eve at our house. Joshua was excited to receive a Grinch and a book as one of his favorite yard inflatables is a "Grinch and dog" on our street.


Taking his time and relishing every minute of tearing the paper.

"Hey look, glow in the dark football, basketball and soccer ball!"

What could is be?


A Firetruck!

Christmas morning in Starkville started with snow!

Santa brought Joshua a broom, a Thomas the Tank Engine toothbrush, and a new blanket for a big boy bed. Joshua was excited about the broom and tooth brush but never gave the bedding a second look.

After lunch we travelled to Jackson to celebrate with many extended family members.
Joshua got to meet the newest family member...Tee, Gumby's new puppy.

Golf clubs from Great Gay and Gulley! After only one swing of a club in Nana's house, rule #1 of playing golf was firmly established: "Joshua can only play with the golf clubs outside."

It is fun to have an audience when you open presents.

"Oooo, what's in here?"

"Thanks for the help Tom Tom."

Nana and Coach's tricycle gift may have garnered the most squeals and smiles.

The next afternoon, braving the cold, Joshua had to try out his new wheels outdoors.

After a short ride on the trike it was time to practice his golf swing.


Abigail is going to miss Joshua's birthday party in a few weeks so we had a cousin party Tuesday afternoon. Joshua and Abigail decorated cookies,

played on the swing set,
rode their new trikes,
enjoyed juice from "fun bottles" and
ended the party with a big hug!
