Christmas!!

 Christmas Eve
 Santa came!!


 Christmas morning...Jake opening his bow and arrow.


 Jake opening his guitar.
 Jeremiah Culbreth spent Christmas with us. :)
 Anderson with his "baby." Hahaha.
 Look at Jake's face in the background.  So much sweetness in this one picture.
 Walker finally started opening his presents after watching Jake open his. Ha!
 Anderson got a Paw Patrol bicycle!


 Love this of my sweet Walker.


 This fort was our Christmas present to the boys.  The Statesboro High School Construction class has been working since October to build this.  We still have to add a slide, a few finishing touches, and paint it, but the boys LOVE it!


 More of Jeremiah. :)

Jake's Surprise Birthday Party

 How funny is this- they accidentally gave Jake a Georgia birthday cake instead of Georgia Southern. Hahaha!
 
 Jake was so surprised!
 Laughing about the cake





 Jaxson, Cole, Jake, Aiden, Brody, Chase, and Mixon

Someone crossed out Uga.  haha!
 


On December 23rd, we threw Jake a surprise birthday party at The Clubhouse.  His actual birthday isn't until Jan. 4th, but we chose to celebrate early instead of trying to fit it in with our crazy post-Christmas schedule.  It definitely made the surprise a lot more surprising, too.  Haha!  We invited his best friends, and the boys had a blast riding the Go Karts, playing laser tag, and playing out in the arcade.  (Walker had the stomach virus the night before, so he missed out on the fun. Boo).  Happy early birthday, Jake!!  

Christmas with My Dad


 
We celebrated Christmas with my Dad a few days before Christmas in Cochran.  We got together with my cousins and had a fish fry at my Granddaddy's old house.  It was by far one of the hardest days because you could just feel the absence of my mom and Granddaddy; that coupled with a stop to the cemetary and the sentimental gifts (a necklace with my mom's handwritten "Love, Mom" and a candle made of flowers from her casket spray) given to us, I think I cried 75% of the day. :(
