Merry Christmas!!

We hung out at home this Christmas since we are waiting on baby brother to arrive. We had a pretty low key Christmas. Mayson was on steroids and breathing treatments for a chest cold.

Below is a picture of sweet Mayson...I don't have any pictures of the roid raging Mayson...you wouldn't want to see that, it's not pretty. We call them the evil drugs.

Posing by the tree

Mayson decided to decorate our craft table with stickers. It was fun getting them all off.

Christmas morning

Mayson had to check everything out from the stairs before coming down. I think because we were all sitting there taking pictures and videoing, she wasn't sure what was going to happen.

Testing out her new big wheel

Opening presents

Meeting Elmo

Daddy showing her how to pedal

Playhouse Disney Live

One of Mayson's favorite things in the world is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So when we heard that Playhouse Disney Live was coming to Atlanta we had to go. She was completely mesmerized, she did dance a little but for the most part had a look of awe on her face...as you can see below. I guess she was speechless...which doesn't happen much. It was dark so I didn't get a lot of pictures.

Pointing out everyone on her shirt

She almost looks sad but believe me she's not. Once it ended she said "again" like she does with Tivo thinking we could play it again.

Jolly Old St. Nick

We went to the mall yesterday to visit Santa Claus. Mayson was so exicted to see him. She didn't want to wait in line she kept trying to dart up under the ropes.

Making room for baby

We've been spending a lot of time lately trying to make room for the baby. Our spare bedroom is now the Trey's room. It's been tough deciding what to put in storage. As difficult as it is we admit we may have made a few mistakes.

T minus 4 weeks

I was 36 weeks pregnant this past Saturday. It's hard to believe that we are less than a month away from having Trey. That's what we've decided to call him. His name will be Samuel Joseph Smith III but we decided to use the nickname Trey for the 3rd. Also close friends and family called (and some still call) me Tray so it's kinda like both Sam and my names.
I'm a little freaked out that I only have a little over 3 weeks left. Of course we can't wait for the baby to get here but I feel there is so much more to do!!!!

Smith Family Visit

Here are some pictures from the Smith family visit at Thanksgiving. We celebrated Christmas as well. Sam's best friend from the Army, Rob spend the holiday with us too.

"I two"

Mayson turned 2 the Saturday before Thanksgiving. LaLa was over that day and we had a birthday cake and opened some presents. Mayson loved blowing out her "#2" candle. She had her birthday shirt on and everything....obviously I'm telling you all this because the pictures were deleted off the camera. I'm really bummed b/c there were some really cute ones. Better than the ones below. Sam's family came into town for Thanksgiving so we had round two of Mayson's birthday, it was fun too. We took Mayson and her cousin Nathaniel to Monkey Joe's. She is working really hard to hold up two fingers and say "I'm two"
