My Mother does not like penguins so...... We bought her one!!! The girls were all sooooo cute in their pjs.

We used the timer on my camera!! It works very well.

Avery loved Butterscotch!!!

We all pose for our Christmas pictures!!

Christmas Eve

We went to Tim's moms today for dinner. We enjoyed lots of good food. The kids were all wild and could not wait to open gifts. All of you know I don't pass up a chance to take pictures!!

We Miss YOU!

This Christmas Eve has been bittersweet. This is the first year without Bill. We started with Becky reading from her devotion book and then Tim praying a very sweet prayer. I asked Tim.....Can you imagine what Heaven must be like on Christmas??!!! I know it has to be Amazing!!! Before we opened presents Becky asked us all to share a memory we had with Bill. This was really neat. I enjoyed listening to all the memories.
The pictures below are from last Christmas. We never dreamed it would be his last. We miss and love you very much!!!!!

can you say Cold and Crazy????

Okay....... I still had one more gift to buy,so I decided I needed to go to the zoo gift shop. My mother was soooooo excited because she wanted to go to the panda gift shop in the zoo. Me,Tim,Lauren,Morgan,Mama,and Daddy all loaded up and went to the zoo. We told my daddy we were only going to the gift shops since it was 40 degrees outside. Well......we didn't tell the whole truth. We get in the zoo and here the lion roaring so we had to see what was going on. Then we decided we needed to see the tigers,pandas,polar bears and giraffes. I will say daddy was a real good sport!!!!! He even stopped a few times to let us take some crazy pictures!!! We were cold but we had lots of fun!

Happy 7th Birthday Avery!!!!

All of the family went bowling yesterday for Avery's 7th birthday. We all had lots of fun. Two little girls from school came to her party. Ava Grace wished she could bowl!!

nice Quiet day

I guess you could say that today is the calm before the storm. All of us stayed home today in our comfy clothes. Avery and Ava Grace stayed with us while Brad and Shelly went Christmas shopping. This next week is going to be a very busy week so that made us enjoy today that much more. Ava Grace loved my Little People Nativity. She reached and pulled it off the table all by herself!!!!

busy busy Busy!!!

Can you say busy??? Every year December is such a whirlwind. We started off by going to Tim's family Christmas in Kentucky last Saturday. His mother has 10 brother and sisters,so you can imagine how many people were there. I didn't get many pictures but I did get one of Lauren and Tim's sister. I got one of our niece Caleigh but it was blurry. You will see that Morgan kept herself occupied with her Ipod.

My mother came in town on Tuesday to take all of her spoiled brat kids and grand kids Christmas shopping!! Shelly had a nerve block done on her back Tuesday so we went shopping on Wednesday. Shelly was not up to shopping so she let us take Ava Grace with us. It was me, mama and Tim. You should have seen the three of trying to figure out the stroller and the buggy cover. We found out we were all out of practice. Ava Grace didn't mind all of us being goofy. I did take some pictures of the four girls. I also needed my mother to try and take our Christmas card picture. As you will see Tim was acting up!! I did get a good one of him and the girls.

Avery's Christmas program was tonight. She had a speaking part!!! She did awesome. We were eating before it and she told us that she was nervous. Well it did not effect her one bit. I was able to get a sweet picture of the girls!!

Christmas party

Tonight we went to Tim's Christmas party. We asked Lauren to take a few pictures of us all dressed up.

Beth miss you bunches I will try and call you tomorrow!!!

lovin' Outside

Can you say adorable????!!!!!!

way to go AVERY!!

I tried to make my tree fancy this year. Most of you know I am so redneck so this is a stretch for me.

Avery had to decorate a turkey for school and she won 1st place. She is so excited!

I am proud of you!!!!

end to a GREAT weekend!

We had a great weekend! You can always count on us to take tons of pictures. I want everyone to know that I think Ava Grace is one of the best babies I have ever seen.(including my own) These pictures are basically how she is all of the time. Shelly.... I will be praying for you this week. I know it might be tough considering Ava Grace's bottom rarely hit the floor!!! Ha

Lauren, Morgan, and Avery were also very good this weekend. They had Nanny and Poppy's basement all to themselves. Before we left Saturday they were able to feed the next door neighbors horses. Avery especially enjoyed this. Beth..... I know Leah Grace will like these pictures!!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have had lots of fun with my family. Me,Tim,Lauren,Morgan,Brad,Shelly,Avery,& Ava Grace left for my parents house on Tuesday afternoon. We have all been very busy. When we are together we have lots of fun. Wednesday we all got ready and went to eat pizza and to a movie. We went to Pizza Hut and almost got in a family brawl with the workers. I could see the guy making the salads and lets just say I was not about to eat that salad. His hands were places they did not need to be!!!! When I complained all of the workers decided they would give us all very dirty looks. All I will say is that they will not forget the Harrisons and the Wyatts!! ha We then went to see the movie Fred Claus. It was a cute movie. Thursday we all got up and fixed all of the food. I always love the way the house smells when you are cooking Thanksgiving dinner. After lunch we went to Walmart and Kmart. This is a family tradition!!! We ended the day by watching Santa Clause 3. This is also a very cute movie. I have taken lots of pictures so I hope everyone enjoys them. I also have a slideshow now so I can show off alot more of my pictures!!! I hope all of you have had a Happy and Blessed Day!!
