Will write more when I have time, but here are some pictures from Macon this weekend. He got his first haircut. I will put before and afters below! Love you all!

BEFORE

AFTER

::CHRISTMAS::

Brant loved his books he got from Santa!

This is Brant on Christmas Eve watching a video of himself on the blog...he thinks he is SO funny!

This is Brant pulling his new wagon with blocks from Nanny! He loved riding INSIDE it too!

These are Brant's new boots! I thought he would be more interested in them because he is always trying to put on Brandon's, but they weren't the hit!

If you look on the table you can see Brant's Jungle Extravaganza! He loves animals and picking them up and putting them in your face while he makes the noise. After he saw these he didn't really care about opening up anything else, but I made him open up the Nikes! TOO CUTE!

My mom and dad took more pictures that I hope will be sent to me soon! They have some really good ones. I hope all your families had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. We head to Macon on Saturday to celebrate Christmas with The Arnolds! Can't wait!

::Pictures::

Sorry for the delay in posting. Things have been busy around here. Brant just left for MiMi and PawPaw's today. He will be there until Brandon and I go over there for Christmas Eve! Here are a couple pictures from this past week....Enjoy!

::Pics from Staff Party::

These are some pics from my staff party this past Saturday. We had it at a gym and Brant had a blast. Hope you enjoy! We love you all!

::All Boy::

So, I know I have said this before, but I HAVE to say it again...

MY CHILD IS ALL BOY!

On Friday at school he was running, as he does EVERYWHERE, through the classroom, and he fell and busted his lip. The front desk administrator came back to my room where I was changing diapers and looked at me and said, "He's alright...(pause)". Any conversation that has started this way has ended in Brant being hurt somehow. I just looked at her and said, "Blood?" She replied that there was some, but mostly just drool. Apparently when he fell he bit his lip and so it looked pretty bad. Today it looks worse, I think because the bruise is coming out, but needless to say I don't think I will ever have a picture that he does not have some bump, bruise, cut, or runny nose. I am just going to have to come to terms with this.

Today I got my new table and Brant's new dresser. I will post pictures of my table below. I love them both! After we got them I decided to clean the bathrooms. I did clean the rest of the house as well, but the bathrooms needed the most attention. As I was cleaning Brant's bath tub I had the water running, which can be pretty loud. I didn't hear him approaching quickly, and here is the result...

He jumped right in, clothes and all. Had a blast splashing and sliding while I RAN to get my camera. He thought it was the funniest thing ever...and so did I...until I thought that him swimming in my cleaner probably wasn't the best thing for him. So I snatched him out and let him run around naked until I was done....which he also thoroughly enjoyed!

So happy Saturday to you all. We are heading to my staff Christmas party tonight and off to church and lunch with friends tomorrow!

Happy Early Birthday to my sister-in-law Amelia Hardman and one of my best buddies Ayesha Nasmyth! I hope tomorrow is a special day for the both of you. I put this up in case I become absent minded and forget to call...I probably will due to that self-fulfilling prophecy that I learned about in educational psychology.

Here's the table...for those of you who care!

::Christmas and Money::

These are the two words that can sum up this weekend. I spent most of it with my wonderful mommy and we spent lots of money! It was all well spent and in my opinion needed...so you can't say that we were irresponsible!

I got my hall bathroom decorated and I must say it is beautiful...just right! Thanks mom!

Brandon and I also got our wedding present from my parents...etiquette does say you have a full year to get the couple a gift. We got a new kitchen table...thanks again!

Brant got his main Christmas present picked out from MiMi and we got all my Christmas decorations purchased and put up. Most of the decorations I already had but Mom helped me fix them and make them look like they should. Our tree is up and my mantle is decorated with stockings. I also have three trees on the front porch that Brant loves! I think our house is really beginning to look like a home! Thanks to all of you who are responsible...

Here is a quick pic of Brant in front of the tree. He loves it. I will put up more pictures of the rest as soon as I can!

::Happy Birthday::

I am the worst. Today was a very important person's 40th birthday and I blew it and forgot to call! Maybe this blog shout-out will make up for it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT MACMATH!

I am not sure if you are an avid reader of this site, but I know your children are....so Maddie, Lanes, or Haydo...go get your dad and show him this!

I love you Scott! Thanks for all you have meant to me over the years! I know this isn't as cool as the banner I made you back in the day, but can it suffice?
