CHRISTMAS!

Christmas was full of fun, family, and food this year. Oh and lots of presents too! We spent Christmas Eve in Abilene with the Taylor side of the family and then headed to Comanche to await Santa's arrival as well as the Dudley crew!

Lots of fun was had in both Abilene and Comanche. I can't believe how big both families are getting. We are overflowing the house in Abilene and Meemaw and Pops' house is starting to fill up! We really will be in trouble if my slacker brothers ever decide to give my kiddos some cousins!!!!!

There were so many pictures and I just don't have the energy, patience or time to spend uploading a bunch so I just grabbed a few and went with it!!

My little goobers and I opening gifts in Abilene.


Thriller can unwrap a gift in less than two seconds!


Santa obviously showed up here!

Meemaw helping her little turkeys open gifts Christmas morning.

Pops, Reid, Ella and Aunt Nicole checking on Meemaw's progress in the kitchen.

Daddy and his little man.

Landman and Jordan comparing Xbox games.

Jordan providing a little ACDC music for Reid.

Pops trying his hand at the cardboard guitar, which was the biggest hit with everyone! Home run for Uncle Tyler and Aunt Nicole!

Uncle Cameron shortly before he lost his patience and just said the heck with it! I won't even tell Aunt Melisa that the microwave almost fell off and hit Reid in the head when he tried to open the door! I later found an entire bag of screws that Uncle Cameron did not use!

Uncle Jordon, Uncle Tyler and Pops doing a little bowling on the Wii.

Reid watching the bowling game...he just needs a beer in his hand!

Thanks to all the Uncles, Aunts, cousins and grandparents for making this such a wonderful Christmas for my kiddos! We love you all!

And So It Begins...For Real!

Ladybug doing some Christmas shopping with her Meemaw! It was so funny to watch people do double takes as this tiny little thing bebopped down the aisles next to her Meemaw!

One lady even stopped us and asked "Isn't she too little to be walking! She reminds me of my yorkie!" I am pretty sure she was referring to Ella's size and not her looks! LOL!


One thing that has to change...Meemaw hands her EVERYTHING and then Ella refuses to let go so Meemaw has to buy it!!

Reid spent the shopping trip snoozin in the stroller, typical guy behavior!

Yellow Belt

After a lot of practice and some cookies...(we won't go there!) Landman earned his Yellow Belt the week before Christmas! Hut!

Christmas Picture

As promised, we did a kid Christmas photo and it was as expected an adventure - but I must say, all three kiddos did really well. No meltdowns, just your typical trying to escape stuff. But first some candids from around the house.


They LOVE getting into the presents!

Such a cutie in his Santa pjs!


Such a well behaved girl most of the time.

He decided to dress up like his daddy! LOL!

These are just the outtakes! I am saving the good photos for Christmas! Enjoy my goobers!

Goofy Girl!

My little turkey!

See he can be good! LOL!

Trying to add Sadie to the picture.

Somebody left the gate open!!!

This one scares me...she loves carrying my purse around and digging through it already!

Maybe they are fighting over who will pay. Ha- not likely!

Catch Up

Just trying play a little catch up on the photos. We put up the Christmas tree a couple of weekends ago but I am just now getting photos up. Things are wild with TWO little ones walking and getting into everything.
In the past week or so Reid has gotten brave and started walking by himself!! Yippee! He is still a little unsteady and kinda moves like Frankenstein but I am hoping that will improve with time. Poor guy just gets compared to his sister who has no fear and practically tried to run before even walking!
My daddy - Pops - came last Friday and spent the day with me and the twins! He helped me take them to a NICU checkup and then just hung out with us! I am 28, married and three kids and still CERTAIN that my daddy hung the moon! Meemaw is coming for a visit tomorrow and we can barely contain ourselves! The three of us look so forward to our weekly visits with Meemaw and Pops!

I am going to attempt a Christmas kid photo this week, wish me luck!

Reid is disgusted with the placement of an ornament!


Trying to sneak a peek!

She has done something she shouldn't have - you can just tell by the look on her face!

Cutest little Elf ever!!!!

I've Got My Hands Full

I can't take my eyes off of her or either of them for a moment!!

Reid Is Getting There!

Uncle Jordy and Aunt Lori Visit

Uncle Jordon and Aunt Lori came with Meemaw to visit last week! The kiddos enjoyed all the attention!

So typical...Dudley men always manage to sneak a nap in at some point during the day - Reid definately has the Dudley traits!

1st Time to a Park

We took the whole family to a park back before Thanksgiving for the twins first trip to a park and all the kids loved it! Reid, Ella, Landon and Sadie! Even Daddy!

They both loved swinging! Reid especially!

Still a kid at heart!

When we got home we all watched Toy Story 3 - Reid is definately going to be a little movie watcher with and like his mama!


It was a long day for the boy! So sweet!
