No Chocopologies



In the car on the way home from Birmingham (they were really good), Leyton and Redding had a chocolate bar in the car (Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate, yum).

It looks like Redding got into a fight with his.

And lost!

Lunch with the Lawyers

Laura and Redding (Not wanting to look at the camera) Why you little...
Everyone, say cheese, or, just look anywhere else but the camera... Try #15 to get a good picture...
We made a day of our visit to Montgomery and had lunch with Laura and James.
We sometimes question our decision to let the boys spend too much time with them. Not that we question the influence Laura and James may have on Leyton and Redding, we question the influence Leyton and Redding may have on Laura and James! We do want more nieces and/or nephews, you know!

Over the River and Through the Woods...

...to the Cheyne Household we go!
Jen and her newest niece, Bonnie Raelene (Born in July)
She is adorable. Although you can't tell here,
she has such cute marshmallow cheeks.
I am not sure how she can even smile, they are so fluffy! Randi-Shae and Leyton playing with DJ's trains Kim, Jen, and Bonnie Gangsta DJ
Amber, Jen, and Bonnie
Since inclimate weather kept the Cheyne Family from visiting us at Nana's house, we made a trip down to visit them!
This was our first visit to Kim and Brad's (not pictured...How did I not get a picture of you?) house. Leyton really enjoyed DJ's toys and Redding enjoyed goofing off with Randi-Shae.
It was just the things that cousins should do!

I wonder what he is laughing about...Something was funny! Christmas morning at the Shipps. This year we had the excitement of the snow.
We also had the excitement of Leyton chasing himself down the hall with his new remote controlled car. I didn't get to see that show but Geep ensures me that it was really funny!

2 of 4 Christmases...Santa Visits!!

Christmas at Auntie Danies (AKA Aunt Dana's) Leyton's Loot Redding's Loot WooHoo! Buzz Light Year to the Rescue!



Letter from Santa
Santa's Leftovers
Santa was very friendly this year. When you ask Leyton what Santa brought, he replies "everything" but in reality Santa brought lots of Thomas stuff, lots of Cars stuff, and lots of Toy Story stuff.
Lots of stuff.
Maybe too much stuff.
But, hey, you only live once!
