Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas.  Parker was really into it, and it was such fun to see his reactions!  The first thing he said to me on Christmas morning was, "Santa Claus come."  He woke up super early (5:20!!), so he must have been uber excited.  I had no idea he'd wake up early on Christmas at this young of an age.  What's it going to be like when he's in elementary school?!

Merry Christmas - dark and early!

Parker had a blast with Titi and G pushing him in a box

Parker can't wait until he's old enough to play Polyanne with his great-granddaddy

I love that he's making memories in the same places I did when I was growing up

Another goodbye and ready for Christmas

Today we said goodbye to our sweet Gidget, our 3rd kitty death this year.  So tough...  I had her for over 13 years.  Parker really liked giving her treats; he always made sure to take some directly to her wherever she was sitting.  He also liked to impersonate her moo sound she made when she meowed.  She will be missed.  We've told Parker that she's in heaven with Gilligan and Higgs.  However, I am prepared to hear one of his new favorite phrases, "Where (Gidget) go?" a million times over the next few weeks.

Just last week she was feeling well enough to keep Parker company during his nap.
We started the year with 5 cats.  Now, we are left with the 2 black fluffballs.
In happier news, we are excited about our little family Christmas we are having tomorrow.  We'll exchange presents and decorate cupcakes.  Last week, Parker got to decorate cookies at a birthday party and loved it, so this should be a lot of fun.
What a mess!
Parker, Lily, and Savannah had a little Christmas dinner last week.  They are so cute together.
Poor little P got two boo-boos this week.  His lip has healed, and I'm hoping his chin looks better by Christmas.
 
We wish you a very merry Christmas!

Santa!

Parker saw Santa Claus today!  When asked what he wanted for Christmas, Parker said trains and buses.  My sweet boy.
