You&Me + Three!

My sweet kiddos have been counting down to Christmas day! On Christmas Eve we celebrated by having a Christmas party with the Holcomb's at Ganna's new house. It was so fun catching up and being together, even if we did eat 1.5 hours late. ;) We had a delicious lunch and the kids opened presents. Then it was time to head to Alabama to celebrate with Mawmaw & the Reeder's. Mawmaw prepared a yummy dinner. Sadly our cousin, Candace, was in an accident so the night was a bit frazzled. She's alright though, and we were able to make the most of the night once we knew she was safe. We opened presents and the kids received so many thoughtful and fun toys! They sure have a lot of people that love them so much!! {They're the only kiddos on the Reeder side so they're extra spoiled!}

We got home very late and the kids were eager to get to sleep so Santa could come visit them!

IT'S DECEMBER!!!! My favorite month of the year! We decided this year a *real* tree was a must! We went on an adventure and found the perfect tree. The kids had a blast looking at every tree and pointing out what the likes and didn't like. We brought our tree home and they were over the moon that we got to keep it in the house. 

God knew what he was doing when he sent me Emmett Lane.

I left little bear on her playmat on her tummy while I got the big kids lunch the other day only to come back to her on her back! Someone rolled over, and I missed it!!! She's such a wiggle worm! No matter where you lay her, expect her to move somewhere else! It's hilarious.

Her eyes are still blue, I'm thinking they're here to stay. Emmett has blue eyes but his are ice blue like my papaw's. Karleigh's are hazel like Justin's uncle Mark. Leighton's are deep blue, the same shade as mine. 💗 she looks just like her daddy and sister, so having a little part of her perfection is special. But they still have time to change, so I'm not holding my breath.

We celebrated Leighton's first Halloween this month! She was sleeping beauty, since that's one of her nick names as she sleeps most of the day. We took K & E to the mall to trick or treat since the rain threatened us. Leighton didn't need to be out in it.

We also took Leigh Leigh to her second movie ;) the Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2. She was an angel, of course, and slept the entire time. We couldn't have asked for a better behaved little girl. Eat, sleep, poop, smile. 

I love my little Leigh Leigh.

The sweet breaths as you sleep with your mouth open on my chest

Miss Leighton weighs 10 lbs 2 oz! That's two pounds more than her birth weight! This is such a big deal to me because Karleigh and Emmett were verrrry slow to gain weight. Breast feeding was such a challenge for Karleigh and weight gain was the challenge for emmett. This time around it seems we're getting it all right! YAY!

She's met most everyone in our family and they're all completely in love with her! (Duh) and she tolerates them holding her, just as long as she's brought back to mama. 

She's a growing girl and I can't wait to watch! <3

One thing that I'll never get used to or enjoy is my sweet husband having to work on Saturdays. We hate it. But that means we usually have him at home one day during the week, which is nice..

Since Daddy was working on Saturday it was up to me to bring all three kids on an adventure after Karleigh's ballet class. 

I'm not going to lie, when we first brought Leighton home if you would have mentioned me bringing all three kids out on my own I probably would have cried. But now, it's just our life. 95% of the time it's not an issue. Leighton is such a good baby, she sleeps most of the day and hardly ever makes a peep. 

Well after ballet we made a picnic and headed off to the park! The kids had such a great time eating outside and enjoying the light breeze. It was a beautiful day. We looked for ducks and chased each other. It was such a fun time. 

After our picnic we headed to the fire department for a friend's birthday party! {HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY ETHAN!} The kids had so much fun playing with their friends and exploring the fire station.  Leighton, of course, slept the entire time like a little angel. (I couldn't have asked for an easier baby) Emmett was so excited he got to spray the fire hose and get on the fire truck.
