I love Christmas!

I've been listening to Christmas songs around the clock now, and it is so fun. My mom and I put up my Christmas tree today--yesterday we did hers. My next goal is to make stockings that I have had fabric for for several years now...but lets not go there. I just love Christmas!

What's your flava?

I got this from my friend Camille, it's lots of fun!

Beautiful Girl

Yes, Emmy has two different colored eyes. One brown, one blue. When she was 1.5 or 2 she got a fleck of gold in the one eye, which slowly changed over time to be 3/4 brown. They are pretty, but it's hard to correct red eye in her photos! Click on this picture to blow it up, they look even more amazing up close!

Fat Baby

Nate is six weeks old, and weighs 12.5 lbs. He is gaining a pound a week, and shows no sign of stopping. I feed him bottles daily, I just can't keep up with him. I can't wait for him to smile! He makes sweet little happy sounds when he is eating, I just love it.

Car Talk

Ashley: Mom, do you scream? Because I do.

Me: I try not to Ash, I don't like it.

Ashley: I scream LOUD!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We went to "Grammy" Lisa's, as Bash has started calling her. Bashy's newest thing is to make up nicknames for everyone. Deborah became Debbie or Deb Deb, she calls Justin "J" and me "Katie Lisonbee Mom." Camille is Camilly Bo Bielly. She also smiles funny for the camera. The kids had their own set up on the coffee table, and Deb brought them chocolate turkeys.

Emma thought the table was too low.
My mom had her shoulder replaced the Monday before, so we did a small feast this year. My uncle Steve and Grandma Bankhead came over from Utah, Deb and Zack our family friends, Mike and Jen and a friend Mary from China, and then us. Steve did most of the cooking, then Deb, and I did the green bean casserole. One of my favorite parts was the nap I took after dinner!

"Mom, get the camera!"

"Take a picture, Mom, everybody is being so cute!"
