Christmas 2011

Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year. I LOVE getting to visit with family that I only see a few times a year. Bragg has a slew of cousins on all sides of our family so he had a rambuctious time to say the least. I tried to capture as many photos as I could of all the fun he had this year. I think this has been our fav Christmas sooo far with Bragg.. He was old enough to understand the true meaning and even help me set up the nativity. I found "Baby Jesus" in his bed with him several nights throughout the season. :) he also was old enough to have fun with Santa. Great times and wonderful memories :)

I made "Cupcakes in a jar" for the Bragg's 12 cousins that are around his age. They loved them but as you can see we set them outside for this messy treat :)

Christmas morning was tons of fun. I loved watching his face as he opened each gift. I didn't take a lot of pics that morning simply because I wanted to enjoy these moments WITH him instead of behind a camera lens... Here is my fav one... His expressions and excitement when he realized that Santa brought him the Mater night light he had circled in the catalog :)

Bragg and Blue Jean :)

This little man has my heart. :)

Helping make cookies for Santa

Bragg and his new cousin, Knox.. This picture is worth a thousand words because this is the first time that Bragg would even touch Knox. He didn't like him one bit when he was little. But now that Baby Knox is laughing, crawling and following bragg everywhere.. They are buddies :)

Singing his song at the Church Christmas program.

Happy Birthday Gramps !!!

Fall 2011

Bragg got the hang of the "trick r treat" REAL quick. Every house we went to he hopped out immediately with his bag. This is the first year that we took him out to a neighborhood and he LOVED it!

Just thought this outfit was adorable one sunday morning. and bragg can't get enough of his puppy, PENNY :)

Our church has a Fall fest every year and this year was just as much fun as last year. Bragg enjoyed all the games and CANDY :)

My sweet Peter Pan. The costume was my brother's (now 26 years old) when he was 5. I made the hat and dusty made his sword that you cant see on the other side of his belt :)

Trip to Blue Jack Ridge

Busy BUsy Summer

Our summers have always been busy and this one was no exception. Here are a few of the pics showing what we had fun doing :)

We made several trips to the zoo with friends and play dates. we love the Hattiesburg zoo :)

Crawfish Boil with our church friends. This group of people are our lifeline and we LOVE them all :)

My first nephew was born .... Maverick Knox Bennett. He is precious and we love him dearly!

We went camping at Little Black Creek and this is all bragg wanted to do the entire time. He has a new hobby FISHING :)

Our Vacation Bible School was also this summer. This year we did "Shake It Up Cafe" and the kids LOVED all the cooking. Some of their prizes were this chef hat and apron. I LOVED IT:)

FOURTH OF JULY!

When I was still living at home with my parents, we traveled to the coast several years to watch the fireworks on 4th of July! This year we wanted to start that tradition with Bragg. So we loaded up and the ENTIRE family made the trip down there.. We brought blankets, chairs, food, drinks...e verything we needed to spend the whole day on the beach. It was a great time and everybody insists on making this a yearly tradition :)
