Our first Thanksgiving as a family of 3!!






















Thanksgiving was great! Reese loved all the food and being around everyone. When we woke up Tursday morning we found out Reese's baby cousin Will was coming soon! Regina had been having contractions all night. He was born round 9:30, ON his due date! We went to my Mama Jane and Grandaddy's house for lunch. The Titans were playing the Lions and everytime the scored (which was quite often!) Paul yelled, "TOUCHDOWN" and clapped. By the end of the night when Reese heard you say "touchdown" she would throw her arms up and clap! It is the sweetest thing ever! We went to Arkabutla, where my mom's side of the family is from, that night. My aunt pulled Reese and my little cousins around in a wagon, and Reese was loving every minute! She would laugh so hard she would have to catch her breath!

The day after Thanksgiving we put up Reese's first Christmas tree. She had so much fun! She crawled under the tree with Paul while he was fixing it. She would pick up the ornaments out of the box and hand them to us to hang. She wasn't up when we finished, so the next morning I turned the lights on before I got her out of her bed. She was excited to see the lights, she kept pointing at them and smiling at us. Paul put up the outside lights that morning too. When we got home from Gammy's house, Reese saw the lights and flipped out! She wanted to touch all of them. We let her stand by the bushes and play with them. She really liked the snowmen that line the sidewalk!

I really think Reese is going to enjoy her first Christmas. Of course she won't understand Santa, but she already likes ripping paper to shreds, so I have a feeling she will love opening her presents. I can't wait to see her with her new toys!
