This should be the last of the Christmas posts, only a month late! I do realize there really aren't any pictures of Emma so she will get her own post very soon. We're doing pretty well these days. All of the kids have runny noses right now but have been actually quite healthy considering. I am happy to be back in a routine of school and our usual craziness. Parker is becoming a little bored with the typical things we do at home so if anyone has any suggestions to help keep a very busy 3 1/2 year old engaged please pass them along. He has been doing a lot of puzzles and my mom and I talked today about some preschool type things to do at home. (She teaches 5 yr old preschool in Nashville.)
Enjoy these random Christmas pictures.
We spent Christmas in Dothan and Maryn slept in the room with Grandma and Grandpops. One morning she was resting on her bed while Grandma was in the shower and when she came out this is what she saw...
my girl loves some make-up!
Parker had a very fire fighter Christmas!
The fire truck from my dad that actually squirts water. Exciting or very messy??? Fortunately it only holds 2 oz of water.
How is it that gum was one of their favorite things Christmas morning.
Playing in the house Papa and Dede gave her.
Oddly enough this has nothing to do with making sure Santa would fit. He's checking to see what a real chimney looks like since we just have a gas fireplace- in relation to his obsession with fire and fire fighting.
Parker's classroom at Sonshine complete with Ms. Anja. She is FANTASTIC. She doesn't let Parker get away with anything but loves him so much. Just what he needs!
Parker's Christmas program- he found me! That's his other teacher Ms. Lucretia in the green. She's great too.
Maryn playing bells at Ms. Joanna's. Ms. Joanna invited Meg and I to come and listen to Maryn and Cole's "Christmas program." It was adorable!!
Cole
The kids with Ms. Joanna. She is WONDERFUL- loves the kids so much and does really great things with them that I do not have the time or energy to do.
The big kids loving on Emma.
More fire fighting. It was warm enough in Dothan for Parker to try out his fire nozzle on Grandma's hose.
The kids with Grandma and Grandpops
Parker got Lincoln Logs for Christmas. Like we had as kids but a little updated with a cowboy and horse.
We're thinking of getting rid of her passy at three. Any fantastic foolproof ideas please let me know. I am dreading it.
My sweet Maryn. So many have said they've never heard one of her meltdowns. Maybe next post will be a video of that. But she is so sweet!!
Merry Christmas to all!!!

Hey! Cute pics. :) If you know someone having a baby that helps with getting rid of the paci. Grey "gave" his to his buddy's new baby sister. I thought he'd freak but he did fine. We got him a tape player and some audio books as a gift from the paci fairy later that week too. :)
whew! I was beginning to have bad blog withdrawal. great post and wonderful pics. only 2 more weeks. a huge chuckle with Maryn's makeup and that firefighter...will look forward to Emma's post. as far as that paci, there once was this beautiful little girl who had a quilt........
great idea kate! one of my best friends is having a baby in may... maybe we'll start a little earlier than i thought. and buying her a treat sure would help. she was all about pooping on the potty when i bought her a my little pony. girls are so much fun!
Enjoyed the post and pcitures. I've been checking frequently for an update too! It was such a wonderful Christmas with all of you here. We love you!
Adorable pics Jennie! Have you heard of the "Paci Fairy" idea? If not, I'll give you the skinny tomorrow night.
