Now on to the next BIG event in the family! My brother, Will, is getting married on January 17th. We all have new clothes, except Jacob. We will be shopping for him Wednesday. I am so excited. My sister-in-law to-be is a sweetheart. She is a perfect addition to our family. Eli & Joshua are ring bearers. I'm a bit nervous about that. I think Joshua will walk down like a champ but Eli gets so nervous. I am just worried that he'll be too shy to walk in front of everyone. I keep reminding him of what he has to do & he seems to agree but I know that can change quickly around here.
Joshua is full fledged potty training now. I have been half-heartedly doing this for a couple of months but he had no desire to cooperate so I haven't pushed the issue. Well, now I'm pushing the issue. Of course, he's still less than enthusiastic but we're trying!! Hopefully, neither one of us will lose our minds in this endeavor!
Kevin bought me a sewing machine for part of my Christmas gift. I have been wanting one for a while now. I know how to sew but it's been a really, really long time since I've done it so I am looking forward to trying again. I've always thought if I ever have a little girl I want to smock & make dresses for her. I'm not sure why I haven't tried for the boys, but maybe I will now.
Here are just a few pictures of Christmas around our house!
This is Eli & Joshua waiting to see what Santa left for them, at 5:30 AM!
This is Eli & Joshua playing with some of their new stuff.
This is Jacob smiling at himself in his new mirror toy. He thinks someone is handsome!
This is David, Jacob, Peyton, Dylan, Eli, Joshua & Charlie patiently waiting to open their gifts at Mema's. (David isn't really waiting, just holding Jacob!)
This is Eli outside at Mema's, waiting to shoot his new BB gun.
This is Joshua waiting to shoot his new BB gun.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas & I hope you have a safe & happy New Year!

Oh, we have that same Black & Decker tool center as a permanent fixture in our living room.

Potty training: today is Jan.4th. This will be our 4th day to ONLY wear pull ups for long car trips & bedtime.
So far, it's been...okay.
Gage still won't poop in the potty, so at least once a day I am changing VERY dirty undies....but, oh well.
Wishing you luck for potty training!
We're having the same trouble with pooping. I don't really understand why he'd rather do it that way but I'm trying to be patient! I know he probably won't go to school in a diaper!! Good luck to you, too!
