Huntley is 3!

Our sweet boy is three years old. I just can't believe it. You can't prepare for how fast life flies before your eyes. We are so blessed by this little man and love every piece of him. He has made the last three years the best of my life. I can't believe he is going to be the best big brother to two precious sisters soon as well. He is growing up to be such a little man way too fast. I try so hard to savor every moment!! He requested a choo choo train party for his birthday, so that is what we did. We had a great time with family and friends celebrating 3 wonderful years of life!! May you be blessed as much as you have blessed us sweet Huntley! We love you!
I had to wake him to make it to the party on time....look at that sleepy face:)

Sweet Birthday Boy!!




Working hard on getting those candles out!
Love this picture of Molly Jane. Her face says it all as she anxiously awaits for the Happy Birthday song to come to an end and she beats Huntley at blowing out the candles.

Running away

What a wonderful afternoon it was for the most wonderful boy I know!!

Santa

A special day indeed! I had an appointment in Fort Myers and we thought we would take Huntley with us and let him go meet Santa Claus after we were done. He is typically very shy and we didn't think he would actually get near Santa, but heard there was much fun to be had at Bass Pro and knew he would have fun whether he talked to Santa or not. He is aware of who Santa Claus is but I'm not quite sure he gets the whole concept. He seemed excited about it all day and to our surprise he sure sat on Santa's lap and told him the things he would like to have for Christmas.
I was beaming behind the camera as if he was walking across the stage receiving his college diploma!! It was so exciting!! As you can see, Daddy was equally excited.

Telling him is wish list....

Smiling for the free picture they give you!
Smiling for momma!
We played in snow...

Watched the choo choo train...
Raced cars....
Did some target practice....
Drove monster trucks...
Such a sweet age and time in our lives. I wish they didn't grow up so fast. Next year, Heagan will have to join us and tell Santa Claus all her wishes too!

Christmas is Here!

We were heading to the Avon Park Christmas Parade Monday when we heard it had been postponed due to rain. We decided to do dinner and get our Christmas tree instead. The kids were over the top excited. It was so fun to watch them and it sure helped me get in the Christmas mood. Our tree is beautiful and we had so much fun decorating it as a family. However, the bottom half has been undecorated and redecorated several times already, but one day I know I will miss it:)
Daddy and Heagan looking for the perfect one. At first she wasn't sure and just kept touching and feeling them.
Huntley loved every tree and thought it was soooo pretty! Just love the innocence!
Then she was off, running through the tree maze!
The place where our tree once was. Look at that excitement! He couldn't believe we were taking it home!
Our last Christmas as a family of four:)
Happy Holidays!!
