December 2006

Good thing it was slow last month because we caught up with it this month. So much happened this month that I will just list them.

• 1st Christmas party at Granny's house on the 2nd of December.


• We did our traditional tree farm hunt with Walker's Nana,Papa, Aunt Lindsay and us. Josh and I started this when we first got married and hopefully with continue through out the years to come. This year we tried a new tree farm that had more animals then trees. We ended up getting our tree at Home Depot but Walker did enjoy playing with the goats and sheep.


• Walker had his picture taken with Santa on the 4th of this month. He did so good and even tested to see if the beard was real. Unfortunately for Santa it was real.


• He got to meet a new doctor this month. Dr. Hodel is is new doctor and both Walker and I love her and her office. My mom went with me so I didn't have to handle his shot by myself. I was so glad that she went with me. Walker weighed 20 pounds and 5 ounces(75%) and was 28 1/3 inches long(90%)


• Hooray!!! We now have a tooth. Just in time for Christmas turkey! Walker's bottom tooth broke through on December 19th during a shopping trip with Nanny.


• December 23rd was the first time Walker spent the night with his Nana and Papa so we could get some last minute things finish before Santa arrived.

Here goes the hectic schedule of Christmas time:

• Christmas Eve - We went to Papa and Nana's house to open presents with Bryan, Jennifer, Lindsay. Later that day we went to Grandmom's house to eat our usual Christmas Eve dinner-pizza. That is one of my favorite parts of Christmas eve.


• Christmas Day - This year it went very smooth. I wish it could be this easy every year. We got up and enjoyed opening our gift with Walker. Both Josh and I loving buying gifts for each other so we had just as many gifts as Walker.( Sad but very true.) It was great being able to enjoy our first Christmas as a family. We got over to Nanny's to eat lunch around noon then off to Grandmama's and Grandaddy's around 3:00pm. There we opened presents with Jenn, Charlie, Charles, Kathryn, Grandmama, and Grandaddy. After we got finished opening all our gifts it was time for the Boone family to arrive. Grandmama McCord , Lynn, and Clint also came to the Boone's house for Christmas. This Christmas was so easy because we usually have to go to at least 4 houses but this year was only 2. Thank goodness for Walker's sake.


• Day after Christmas - We went to Walker's Granny and Paw-Paw's house. It was such a good surprise when everyone showed up. We have not had the whole gang together for Christmas in years. Everyone as in Josh, Walker, me, Bryan, Jennifer, Ansley, her Josh, Jeff, Tara, Tyler, Granny, Paw-Paw, and dogs everywhere. Yes, they have 7 dogs and Walker loves them all. I am so glad that Walker is a animal lover!! I think it shows what kind of person he'll be later.

This was the month I forgot to take his picture in the chair. Oh well!!
