It's begining to look a lot like CHRISTmas

Wow-we had such a wonderful weekend! Lots and lots of family time, Christmas music, and Holiday Cheer! We started Friday night out by celebrating John's 39th birthday! Turner loved his Papa wearing the birthday hat!
Happy Birthday to the best father and husband in the world! I have to pinch myself often to make sure I'm really living this fairy tale life with my precious husband and best friend!
Thank you GOD for leading me to the love of my life.

Turner is getting to be quite the little Mr. Independent. He no longer wants to sit in his high chair, he'd rather sit at the table. We have our church group over on Sunday nights, so we always get the smaller table out for extra seating. Well, this Sunday was no exception and Turner insisted he sit at the table. So I got out some play dough to keep him busy...I think he must have taken a bite out of the play dough by the expression on his sweet little face. And yes that is a OU sweatshirt. Every year after the game, the loser has to make our small group homade icecream...we'll since we are the only OSU fans in our group it has been us the last several years. Well we didnt' get around to making homemade icecream on Sunday, so let Turner wear his OU sweatshirt instead!
Every year I take pictures of the dogs...and now Turner...which these antlers on. Turner got such a kick out of wearing them...in fact, while he was eating dinner he started throwing a fit because he wanted to put them back on!
Are we having fun or what???
On Saturday afternoon, we went to get Turner's picture taken with Santa. He did so good...he didn't cry until the after the pictures were over and the photographer poked him with the feather duster!
Turner still amazes John & I every day. He is getting such a sweet little personality and is LOVING learning new tricks. It cracks us up...it's just like teaching the dogs a new trick. This weekend he learned to say "Ruff ruff" when asked what dogs do. Then he can flap his arms like a chicken and say "Bauk, bauk" It's pretty stinking cute!
On our way to see Santa!
I caught Turner in the act of climbing on the dinning room chairs...apparently licking off the left over crumbs his sisters didn't get!

John & I pray we teach Turner the real reason of this Christmas season and not get caught up in all the hustle & bustle
