Breakfast with Santa
Some sweet friends of ours hosted a breakfast with Santa Saturday morning for all of the precious kiddos. It was so much fun, and the food was delicious. It really got me in the Christmas spirit! Thanks Cunninghams! We sure enjoyed ourselves {even if the pictures of my children suggest otherwise-ha!}
Heading out that morning-Simms looked at her shirt and said, "I am going to see you, Santa." She was very excited, because our elf Pixel had left her a note telling her how excited Santa was that he was going to be seeing her that day!
Landin's playroom seemed like more fun than Santa though! I had to pull her away to go see him.
Cope was excited too {for a little while at least}.
And then it began...she WOULD NOT talk to Santa or look at him.
And the lip poked out more and more.
Cope was terrified {is it bad that I was laughing..because I was}.
It really was priceless.
Bennett made things a little better for her.
But not really for Mae Mae. Poor thing.
Maybe it's the age? Bennett however LOVED every minute with Santa! He was so funny-holding such serious conversations with him.
These two had lots of fun playing in the bouncey house and with all the toys.
Beautiful Mary Margaret
It was such a fun morning! Lots of cute children running around in their Christmas clothes. And our fun morning led into a great day! Dru and I took off for Atlanta {minus kiddos-thanks Minnie and Ninnie} for the SEC Championship. It was an incredible game. So glad we were there {with no kids}. I am so proud to be part of the Auburn family-it's as simple as that. I'm proud anyway, but this makes it so much more fun! Of course Dru {and most of the Goodwin clan} is heading to Arizona for the BCS game. I am so glad he is getting the chance to go.
Merry Christmas and WAR EAGLE!!!

The Tree, My Favorite Decorations & An Old Picture
We finally got our tree up and decorated last night! It wasn't nearly as stressful as I'd imagined {decorating with a 3 year old and a rambunctious 11 month old}! We actually moved the tree back into our living room this year {where it was our 1st Christmas as newlyweds} due to the fact that I really didn't want to move all of the "stuff" out of our den {play kitchen, other toys, kiddie table and chairs, pack-n-play, bouncey, yeah, yeah, you get the idea}. I am loving our tree and loved turning it on this morning when Cope and I graced its presence at 6 am!
And here are my favorite Christmas decorations at the Goodwin house, and a little history behind them:
Last Christmas my mama started letting Sissy and I choose one thing each Christmas from her Christmas decorations. Things that we were sentimental about. I chose these angels. They were my great-grandmothers. I actually keep them out all year long in my secretary, but pulled them out for the Season. My mama thinks my great-grandmother Evans made or maybe just painted them. Very special to me.
Dru's stocking when he was little. Now being used for our sweet boy. Handmade for him by I want to say a great-aunt. And how special, a basset hound, just like my beloved dog, Babe.
I love the sweetness and simplicity of this nativity. Given to us by sweet friends of Dru's parents, the Gosses.
I think this one says it all.
For my precious little girl's first Christmas. She was around 7 weeks old.
Given to me for Cope last year by Mrs. Lil and Dr. Donny. He was still in my tummy and due to make his arrival 5 days after Christmas. Such a sweet time.
Our sweet Ellie's ornament. Poor girl. She's taken such a backseat to our human kiddos.
I bought this sweet treat of an ornament for myself to add to my collection. I just love him.
Such a pretty Santa and I love the jingle bell on the bottom of his hat.
Of course little cowboy represents Daddy!
Aunt Becca gave Simms this ornament the year she turned 1. I love it.
Carolers given to me by my Meme when I was in 7th grade. She gave these to me the Christmas that I had my tonsils taken out instead of balloons or flowers. She wanted me to have something that I could have forever.
Because each Christmas growing up, I eagerly awaited this version of Rudolph to premiere on TV, this is so much fun to have. Simms thinks it is magical.
A beautiful reminder of what this Season is all about. Given to me at my Christmas shower in Montgomery.
Ok..Hope you are still with me. I really wanted to document those things since I hope to be making this into a book on its 3 yr anni in June. Here is the most hilarious picture that I found in my room at my parents today. I had to make sure Natalie and Lauren saw it too. All newly engaged! What young'uns we were, huh?
Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving in Mississippi
We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in Columbus, Mississippi at Becca and Grover's beautiful new house! There was lots of playing, eating, and socializing! We left Wednesday evening and came back Saturday. The ride there wasn't bad at all, but the ride back took forever, and Cope cried almost 90% of the time {tummy issues}. I am so glad we were able to go, although I am still getting our house back in order and laundry done and put away! It takes alot to pack for a family of 4! Here are the pictures from our trip!
Thanksgiving Day
Started out early with playtime outside in the bouncey. The weather was perfect.
My two little turkeys {and yes, one little turkey had to be caged alot. He's into EVERYTHING}
Simms and Lilla had lots of tea parties. Lilla was a VERY good sport with all of the chaos that my 2 brought into her house!
Becca and Grover were wonderful hosts! The table was beautiful and the turkey was delicious {not to mention all of the other food that we ate, and ate, and ate...}
The cousins bounced and bounced all afternoon
It wore them out {please notice the milk running out of Cope's mouth}
GameDay/Iron Bowl 2010 {WAR EAGLE!}
Apparently it had us all crazy with nervousness and excitement. This is how I found my son when I woke up {I think his Uncle Gee did it}
Simms was SO excited Charlie and Anna Crawford were coming to the Allgoods to watch the game. She will randomly just start talking about "Charlie in Mississippi" and sometimes calls her baby doll Anna Crawford, so she was thrilled to really see them.
Since the weather changed so drastically, the bouncey was moved inside. That made these kiddos HAPPY {and allowed us to watch the game in peace-somewhat}
Enjoying a snack and then hot chocolate on the porch
I let Simms play outside all afternoon yesterday, even though it was cold. She had so much energy to burn. She helped Daddy rake pinestraw and decorate the outside of our house for Christmas. She loved it!
This sweet little boy had to stay inside. He's battling another ear infection, and you guessed it, more than likely about to get tubes. Breaks my heart.
And our elf made his apperance this morning. Hoping to have the tree this week too!
