Lots of preparation for Santa over at the Cormier house!  It's the best Christmas yet with a little one.  We hope you have a Merry Christmas - we send all our love!

I had to post this!  LJ is now big enough to wear his Daddy's boots!  I took him down behind the house to throw rocks in the creek and enjoy them.  Here is a collage of the photos I took while we played.  The word are from a poem, (but I changed them a bit!) 

I love to wear your boots Daddy,
As you can clearly see.
Pretending I'm as big as you,
As someday I will be.

Early Christmas Gift :)

I know I'm a bit delayed on this post, but we got an early Christmas present this year!  For the first time, probably ever, we know what team Lance will be with before Christmas!  Woohoo!  Congratulations, Lance!  Thank you, Lord for this blessing...for allowing us to enjoy our last month at home baseball stress-free!  

Santa Claus is coming to town!

I had to share!  LJ had his "Christmas Program" for his Mother's Morning out.  I wasn't sure how he would do - If he would be ok going on stage, or would cry for Lance and I.  I can't say how PROUD we are!  He got up there, sang and behaved SO well. The Blogger video won't let you go to full-screen, so it's a small screen.  My favorite part is when he is singing the "he sees you when you're sleeping..." part.   I have to say - it looks a lot like my home movies from when I was his age :)  If this doesn't say "Merry Christmas", what does?

Lance and I are headed to Atlanta today to see if we can get one step closer!

So fun!

Walk of Fame

I had to add this one to the blog - LJ loves Jarret, so we couldn't resist while we were at the "Walk of Fame" - There is a new post below!

Great weekend!

I wanted to share our pictures from last Sunday.  Lance played in the "Turkey Bowl", (AKA cut-throat church flag football), and they had a blast!  They played on the quad, so we joined him. I apologize that none of the pictures are of him.  I can't resist the little boy - I swear, the camera just loves him :)  Anyway, the weather was great, so LJ, Me-Maw and I had to get out there and enjoy it!  We walked the quad, headed to the football field to see the big Bear Bryant statue, then headed back to Lance so we could make our way to Calera for the Polar Express train ride.  It was a great trip and totally worth the drive!  We even got some free glow sticks out of the deal - not sure how, but we'll take it :)  I hope your weekend was great, too :)  Sending some Christmas magic your way - after all, it's December!

LJ and Me-Maw in front of "Uncle B's House"...known to most of the state as Denny Chimes.  He wasn't there - I guess he must have been at the store or something? :)

A GIANT statue of the Bear - in Bama fans' hearts, he really was this big...or bigger :)

My boys waiting to get on the train

...we weren't the only ones!

This made the whole thing worth it - the fact that LJ is sitting this close to Santa, not screaming and telling him what he wants for Christmas is a big leap.  Usually, he's VERY afraid.  He even told him at first, "I have enough toys", so he'd go away :)
