MORE CHRISTMAS MORNING PICS
















IT IS FINALLY HERE, CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!

CHRISTMAS MORNING FINALLY MADE IT, TATUM GOT UP ABOUT 6:30 AND WE WENT IN THE LIVING ROOM TO SEE WHAT SANTA BROUGHT. SHE JUST STARED AT EVERYTHING LIKE IS THIS MINE CAN I GO TOUCH IT, THEN WHEN I SAID TATUM GO SEE WHAT "HOHO" BROUGHT SHE RAN STRAIGHT FOR THE POLKA DOT TABLE. THEN THE GROCERY CART, THEN SHE SPOTTED THE TODDLER BED. SHE IMMEDIATLY HAD TO GET IN IT. THE ONLY THING THAT SHE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN WAS UNWRAPPING PRESENTS. SHE WANTED EVERYTHING OUT ALREADY, I HAD TO OPEN MOST OF THE PRESENTS FOR HER. OMG, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH, I LOVE OUR AMAZING FAMILY AND I THANK GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE EVERY DAY.














CHRISTMAS WITH YAYA

TATUM IS ALSO A YAYA'S GIRL. IT IS AMAZING HOW AT 19MTHS OLD SHE CAN DIVIDE HER LOVE UP SO MANY WAYS. SHE LOVES ALL OF HER GRANDPARENTS SO MUCH. YAYA HAS A RULE ABOUT NOT OPENING PRESENTS UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY, WELL LITTLE MISS TATUM BROKE THAT RULE. SHE OPENED A FEW DAYS BEFORE AND ALL THE WAY UP TO CHRISTMAS MORNING. SHE GOT A VACUUM AND THE CUTEST LITTLE RAIN BOOTS AND HER FAVORITE WAS DORA CROCS!









CHRISTMAS FROM NANNY

NANNY GOT TATUM THE CUTEST LITTLE CHAIR, SHE LOVED IT SO MUCH AND SAT IN IT ALL CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT. SHE ALSO GOT HER THE MOST ADORABLE SHOES AND CLOTHES. THANKS SO MUCH NANNY! TATUM LOVES HER NANNY SO MUCH, HER FAVORITE SAYING IS "NO NO NANNY." HAHAHAHAHA!!!!





PAWPAW AND NENE

NEXT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE AT PAWPAW AND NENE'S HOUSE. TATUM HAD A BLAST, THEY GOT HER THE BIGGEST BAG OF BALLS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN, AFTER THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO OPEN ANY OF THE OTHER PRESENTS. SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING BALL WITH UNCLE SETH AND UNCLE J. THEN WE WENT OUTSIDE AND SHE PLAYED BALL WITH PAWPAW AND NENE. THEY DON'T EVEN MAKE A WORD FOR HOW ROTTEN THIS CHILD IS.









PAWPAW AND GIGI

WE HAVE A HUGE FAMILY SO TATUM HAD 4 SEPERATE PRESENT OPENINGS THIS YEAR. FIRST WAS PAWPAW AND GIGI, IT IS SO FUNNY TO SEE MY DAD SO EXCITED OVER A LITTLE GIRL. MY DAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A HARD PERSON AND MISS TATUM BELLE HAS SOFTENED HIM SO MUCH. SHE MAKES HIM MELT FOR SURE! TATUM LOVES THEM SO MUCH, SHE LOVES SPENDING TIME WITH PAWPAW AND GIGI! THEY GOT HER A BABYDOLL TO GO IN THE BATHTUB WITH HER, OMG SHE WAS IN HEAVEN.

I AM SO READY FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

OMG! I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING, I AM ABOUT TO EXPLODE IF IT DOESN'T GET HERE SOON. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE TATUM'S FACE WHEN SHE SEES ALL HER PRESENTS FROM "HOHO". I THINK HAVING A CHILD QUADRUPLES THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. I HAVE HAD MORE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE, BUT THEN TO THINK AFTER DEC. 25TH IT WILL BE ALL OVER UNTIL NEXT YEAR MAKES ME SAD! I HOPE IT GETS HER SOON!!!!!!


CHRISTMAS PARTY IN "THE SAVANNAH"

TATUM HAD SO MUCH FUN AT HER CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTY, THEY HAD SNACKS AND GOT THEIR CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM THEIR TEACHERS. THE LITTLE GIRLS NEXT TO HER ARE GRACIE AND ELLA. TATUM AND GRACIE HAVE BEEN IN DAYCARE TOGETHER SINCE THEY WERE 9WKS OLD. THEN ELLA CAME WHEN THEY WERE AROUND ONE. THEY HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I DROP HER OFF SHE JUST RUNS OFF TO PLAY WITH THEM AND PAYS ME NO ATTENTION.









CAN WE SAY GIRLY GIRL?

SO MY DAUGHTER IS DEFINITELY A GIRLY GIRL! I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR GIVING ME THIS HEALTHY LITTLE GIRL, BUT ALSO SECRETLY I THANK HIM FOR MAKING HER A GIRLY GIRL. I HOPE SHE ALWAYS LOVES PURSES, SHOES AND HAIR BOWS AS MUCH AS SHE DOES NOW!

THE POLAR EXPRESS

WE WENT TO THE POLAR EXPRESS TRAIN RIDE THIS YEAR AT THE HEART OF DIXIE RAILROAD MUSEUM. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! TATUM HAD FUN PLAYING WITH HAYDEN AND KATIE. SHE WATCHED OUT THE WINDOW THE WHOLE TIME. SHE LOVED MRS. CLAUS BUT DID NOT LIKE SANTA. SANTA'S ELVES BROUGHT JINGLE BELLS TO RING AND MILK AND COOKIES TO EAT. THEN TATUM GOT A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT WITH A TRAIN ON IT. SO MUCH FUN, DEFINITELY A NEW TRADITION!














SANTA VISIT AT THE GALLERIA

WE TOOK TATUM TO SEE "HO HO" AS TATUM CALLS HIM, AT THE MALL. THIS WAS ONLY HER 2ND TRIP TO THE MALL EVER AND THE 1ST TIME SHE WAS ONLU ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD. SHE HAS SO MUCH FUN. WE HAD TO SIT AND WAIT ON SANTA TO GET BACK FROM HIS BREAK, AND TATUM JUST RAN ALL OVER THE PLACE. SHE LOVED THE GLASS ELEVATOR, SHE WAS IN AWE. SO MUCH FUN! SHE YELLED FOR "HO HO" FOR SO LONG, THEN WHEN I SAT HER IN HIS LAP SHE FELL OUT. SHE DID NOT WANT HIM NEAR HER, THEN WHEN WE WALKED AWAY SHE STARTED YELLING FOR "HO HO" AGAIN. I TOLD HER THAT SHE YELLED AT HIM AND SCARED HIM AWAY! HAHAHAHA














2008 ALABASTER CHRISTMAS PARADE

IT WAS SO SO COLD THIS YEAR. WE WERE ALL FREEZING TO DEATH. THIS WAS TATUM'S SECOND CHRISTMAS PARADE. IT WAS SO CROWDED THAT WE COULD BARELY SEE. WE HAD A GOOD TIME THOUGH, IT REALLY MAKES IT FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS IS COMING SOON!
