Decorating and Christmas Pictures

If ya'll know me, you know how much I LOVE Christmas time! So it's no surprise my house was decorated the day after Halloween... :) Jett really liked watching me do all of it and watching the glitter and lights. He even "helped" me a little when it came to making wreaths for my  Nana. We also went with Aunt Al and Olivia to take some Santa Claus pictures.. They are PRICELESS! O helped decorate the Christmas tree and she was too much fun! I can't wait for next year when Jett is about that age.. :) My group of friends, Trey, Jessie, Zach and Taylor all go to Motley Tree Farm and actually cut down their Christmas Tree.. I decided this sounded fun so me and Jett tagged along! Not only do you cut down your tree, they have a petting farm and pig races. A shop with fudge and free hot chocolate. It was so much fun! We all decided to start our own new tradition and continue to do this! It was a blast!! And then on to my favorites.. Jessie came over and we had a Christmas photo shoot for our Christmas cards... These are the best pictures I have EVER seen!!! I hope ya'll all enjoy!

Little man "helping"

He was so indifferent with Santa. He didn't get upset but would not smile! haha

Cousin O didn't like Santa AT ALL! Haha This pictures captures all the emotions at the time!

Me and little man in the middle of the tree farm!

Thanksgiving 2012

The holiday season is my absolute favorite! Now that I have even more of a reason to celebrate (Jetton Hunter) I am even more EXCITED!  Holidays are always so busy... but filled with so much family and fun. This year we went to deer camp in the Middle of No Where... It is actually outside of Shirley... or maybe in it? Not really sure! haha but we road 4-wheelers and Rangers and played outside after eating our big lunch! Jett of course loved it! The kid was born to be outside!! After that we drove back home and had a huge dinner with my dads side of the family! We finally ended up at home.. with the dogs and slept off our food comas and woke up and went and had our last Thanksgiving meal with my Momma!! :) I love all the food and family time!! It is so much fun! Jett did SO WELL and didn't get fussy or anything! :) all together it was a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Haha! I just had to share this one... I have a series of his faces from the beginning to the end! I loved it!

This is the end! He actually realized he LOVED sitting in that pumpkin

My little turkey in his Thanksgiving day outfit!

Sitting on the big rock in Shirley!

The redneck caravan! It was a blast!!

He wouldn't look because there was way to much going on!

2012 County Fair

I know... He really can't do much but I really wanted to take Jett to his first parade and then to the fair! To my surprise he LOVED both! The parade was really long (about an hour) but he sat there and watched the entire thing! He loved the noise and movement!! He didn't fuss or really even make a noise until it was over. :) After that wonderful experience we decided to take him to the fair!! Once again he loved it! The lights on the ride were a huge hit! E would just watch them.. We were also outside, which is his favorite. We walked through the inside and he got stickers and tons of attention at all the booths!! From there we went to the barn... I always loved this part because I am such an animal lover... And guess what?! So did Jett!! It melted my heart. He just smiled and watched all of the animals! It was a hit! I am so glad we did this and I can't wait to watch him grown and learn each time we go! It will definitely be a new tradition!! :)

Why can't life slow down?!

Let me just start off with, I am so happy! Little man is just growing and changing ever day. I look forward to waking up to his smiles and spending the day with him. I am so in love! :) we have been going 90 to nothing. We have gone to fayetteville to see aunt bay! We haw watched football games. I recently started training for a 5k (gotta start somewhere) and Jett LOVES being outside in the stroller. He has started fighting sleep.. At bedtime and Nap time.. This had been an interesting challenge but we will get through it. He sits so well and will lunge forward. It almost seems like he is trying to crawl! Exciting. :):) he talks all the time! E will even reach for you. It just melts your heart. He also has 2 teeth!!! I will post again soon... For now here are some pictures though! Oh yeah!
