Jewel of the Delta

Round two of our Arkansas travels is now behind us. We arrived on Thursday, dropped the boys off with Nana, and headed to Memphis for dinner with Dean and Carli. Friday was spent visiting in Forrest City, we stopped in at the radio station and Pop recorded Braden singing all of his songs from his Christmas program. The best part was as he listened to the play back he couldn't help but sing along . . . .so Pop recorded him singing along with himself! We had lunch with Pop then met up with Nan, and had dinner with Nana & Papa. Saturday morning was Christmas at Nana & Papa's and then we had our Christmas with Nan and Pop for dinner.

Can you see where Blake gets his great eyes and eyelashes!

"Umm, Uncle Tyler, your hair is a little flat today."

"You just did WHAT in your diaper!"

Braden took this great picture of Uncle Dean

As all of the adults cooed and gooed at Mason to get his smile, Justin couldn't hold it together. So we got him cracking up and Mason as serious as ever.

The Men

Mason looks so much like Dean's baby pictures, and I have to say the cheeks and hair are similar in this picture, too!

Mason's shirt says "Who needs Santa I've got grandparents."

Braden thought that Joker and Batman needed a bath, too. These toys were bought with his very own money, that Miss Martha gave him.

Look, I'm a puppy like, Taco.

Come on, Nan, you've kissed me 10 times already!

This was the year of flying toys from Nan & Pop. This is a sling shot monkey that flies through the air and screams as he lands. It's hilarious! The other "big" gift was an air gun that shoots marshmallows. Braden kept stressing out because every time he shot uncle Tyler, Tyler would eat the ammunition.

Mason has bathed in the kitchen sink of all of our family, now!
