Baby #3

Well, life is funny! Just a few weeks ago, I was blogging that I had been wanting another baby, but that the "baby fever" was over and that I was going to just let God decide when the right time was and not worry about it! Then what does God do??? He gives me a baby! We are so excited (after spending one day mentally asking ourselves if we were crazy)! God has blessed us with two of the most precious boys and we are thrilled that he would entrust to us another baby.


We have been having such a good time with our family and friends over the month of December. December is such a special time as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.



On Saturday, we had the 3rd annual Mexican Fiesta at our house with Jonathan's side of the family. We had lots of great Mexican food. We really missed Brenda, though.

Here are the boys with their cousin Ty.

We spent a couple of days in Alexandria, Lousiana with my extended family. We were able to visit with my Uncle Mac, Uncle Willis, Uncle Jack, Aunt Charm, Aunt Charlotte,and Aunt Geneva, my Mawmaw, and my cousins, Monnie, Miranda, Amanda, Kim, and Steven. It was great!

We also spent time with Jonathan's cousins who live next door to us: Connor, Sam, and Walker. We always have a great time with the Finney's!

Here is a picture of me and Logan working on a gingerbread house.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Yay! The tree is going up!

I love Christmas time. I really do! I love seeing the shine of excitement in Logan and Jack Landon's eyes. We have put up TWO Christmas trees this year and I think it will be a tradition from now on. Logan is just loving this season. He was so excited to be able to help set up the tree this year and decorate. He also loves the idea of his "special" ornament. Each year, I buy a new ornament that kindof symbolizes the year for them. Logan's oranament this year was a glove and baseball because he started playing baseball this year and we have been practicing all year. Jack Landon's ornament is a banana! How cute is that! That kid loves his bananas.

I am amazed each year by the number of events that are available for young children to help keep the Christmas magic alive and to help them learn about the meaning of Christmas. There was a Christmas parade in both Benton and Bryant this year, and they were both tons of fun! On Saturday, Logan attended Jesus' Birthday party at the church and he loved that. He took his unwrapped toy for a less fortunate child and before he left, he told me that he wanted to go buy presents for every kid that didn't have any. Logan has a huge heart!
