Happy New Year

We had an amazing Christmas. I haven't smiled that much in forever! Bryce was so into it and it made us all so happy. Bryce and I flew to Memphis from Pensacola on the 13th. The flight was great. My squiggly wiggle worm sat in my lap the whole time and was so good. We went from Memphis to Montgomery for our family Christmas get togethers and enjoyed both of those so much. We had to miss one last year, and the other one was pushed back to Jan. for us. Christmas Eve we were back in Memphis and went to a family Christmas Eve service in Midtown. It was great! Talkative, wiggly toddlers everywhere so we could relax and not worry about him bothering anyone! He LOVED what Santa brought him (a kitchen and a bike) and had fun opening all his gifts. Christmas Day we went to West Point to celebrate with Anthony's family and had a great time there as well. Thursday we went back up to to Memphis and went to the Liberty Bowl Saturday. GO DAWGS!!! Yesterday we drove all the way (8hrs.) from Memphis to Pensacola.

Bryce is now sick sick sick with a nasty cold and high fever. Luckily Cappy is here with us and can help keep him happy.

What a difference a year makes, huh? We are so lucky that Bryce was able to have his surgery last year on Dec. 14th. It changed our lives. We have been blessed with a very healthy happy child and enjoy him more and more every day. Thank you to everyone out there who was there for us last year. We couldn't have made it through without you. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. We sure will! Santa will be coming (back--see post below) to see Bryce this time in Olive Branch and we will actually be celebrating Christmas on Christmas this year!!

There is so much to do in Pensacola. We have been trying new things out each weekend. The first picture is of Bryce and co-pilot Daddy at the Naval Aviation Museum. There is also a dog park with a dog beach that we have gone to the last two weekends. Reagan gets to run around off leash with other dogs and she loves it. There is a seperate area where you can let them swim. Bryce loves watching her run around with other dogs. The second picture is of Daddy and Bryce at the Pensacola Christmas Parade. Bryce had a blast, except for the loud sirens and bands coming right in front of him. The third picture is of Bryce's new favorite past time. Watching Baby Einstein DVDs. He can't get enough of them. He picked an interesting seat last night!






These last two pictures.......Santa decided to come early to see Bryce since he and I are headed out tomorrow for Memphis. The first picture is of Santa's first try at this. Turns out he didn't know how small the 4 wheeler was. Bryce (who is small for 21 mos.) was too big! He kept rolling over his feet. And it wouldn't roll (battery powered) on the grass. Bryce of course fell in LOVE with his present from Ho Ho. He kept saying "Byce's bike, hoho!" We decided to ask Santa to return the bike and get something bigger. Anthony was at home with Bryce while Santa returned it. He said that Bryce kept asking for his bike and finally realized that he wouldn't see it again and said "bye bye bike, hoho". That afternoon we took Bryce to Toys R Us so he could help us help Santa decide on a new one. The second picture is what Santa brought the next day. Bryce loves his new Jeep and we've already spent alot of time in it today. My mom said this is the last year Santa can make mistakes like this!!! :)
