Happy New Year!!!

Sorry for the delayed post, but you know how it goes....we live. 2008 was a wonderful year for our family and although we're sad to see another year come and go, we're excited for what the new year has to offer. We ended 2008 with a bang...in early December Brad and I visited Dallas for a weekend. I bought Brad tickets to the Dallas Cowboys vs NY Giants game for Christmas..he was thrilled needless to say. We had an AWESOME time and it was a much needed break from the little guy. Peyton had spent the week before home from school with what I'm calling some sort of respiratory infection and then it snowed so we were definitely needing some space. Happy to report now that he is FINALLY over his cold that he's had since October. After our weekend in Dallas, we headed back to Hattiesburg so Peyton could participate in his Christmas program. That didn't go so well...he cried the entire time they carolled and then when it was over he immediately turned the tears off and told us "I sing!". It was cute. Then we headed back to Bossier for a week long Christmas celebration. It was nice to be home for such an extended stay...we don't always get to visit with our friends and family like we want. Santa was very good to all of us this year and we are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. Peyton got quality play time with his cousins Piper and Abby...he adores them both. At the end of the week we headed to the Independence Bowl where Louisiana Tech beat Northern Illinois. It was cold and we were squished in the stands, but we had a fabulous time...and it didn't hurt that our team won!! Now we're finally back in Hattiesburg and it feels wonderful. Last night we took Peyton out to eat at Longhorn and then bought some fireworks....I know...we're party animals. Peyton really enjoyed watching Daddy pop fireworks..we saved a few for tonight. I think that pretty much catches the blogging world up. The countdown is now on for Disney World!!


Enjoying his cupcake at his School Christmas Party...he was saying "ho ho ho"
Thats some good cupcake

After his Christmas program..so happy!


During his Christmas Program...not happy.



Dallas Cowboys' Number 1 fan!..maybe

Our last game in Texas Stadium :-(

He loved running through the smoke from the fireworks

Daddy...what is this thing?


All snuggled up ready to watch the show!


This just isn't right....I have no explanation other than he's obsessed with my shoes

Can you tell they're related? I mean really...what kind of face is this?


Peyton found this at Nana's house...looked like boots to him!! Again..he's obsessed with shoes
