You&Me + Three!: December 2015

Christmas 2015

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

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!

Leighton Grace, Three Months!

12/24 How is this angel already 1/4 of a year old! Time is slipping by! Leigh Leigh is 14.5 pounds and the happiest baby I've ever known. Seriously. One look at this little lady is smiling from ear to ear. She's a talker, too. She loves to coo and goo and ohh. Especially when her sister talks to her. Emmett doesn't have time for baby talk. ;)

The funniest thing about Leighton is her ability to fall asleep anywhere. I laid her on the floor while I put Karleigh to bed only to find her asleep when I come back. Same when she's "playing" on her play mat. Or if I lay her on my bed while I am doing something for K or E, I come back to her passed out like she hasn't slept in days. It's hilarious... And awesome.

I love everything about this pretty girl and can't wait to celebrate her first Christmas!

Santa Clause

I'm dying over our Santa pictures. This is totally Leighton. I will cherish this picture forever.

My big kids loved Santa. Emmett asked for Paw Patrol {not sure how I'm going to make that happen} and Karleigh asked for a Doll House. {we purchased the perfect house for her!} I can't wait for them to wake up on Christmas Morning!

Oh Christmas Tree

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.

We spent the rest of the day digging through our Christnas decorations and getting into the holiday spirit. I love our tree so much. No colored balls... Each ornament has a special meaning. Lots have pictures. It's a walk down memory lane as we put our tree up. I already purchased a few new ornaments for this year, including 2 for Leighton's First Christmas. ❤️

Beautiful boy

Tonight as I was laying down with my handsome little man it hit me so hard.. He's my only son. The only little boy I'll ever care so deeply for. He's such a gentle soul in a tough exterior. He will fight with his sister, make the biggest messes imaginable, drive allll the things, get dirty from head to toe.... but he has the sweetest side as well. He's the first to say sorry when he's done something wrong. He gives the biggest, tightest hugs. He caresses my face so softly as he falls asleep. He whispers "I love you mommy" in the kindest voice. He's the best cuddler. He's our sour patch kid. <3

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