Reagan loves her new little brother. She wants to hold him all the time! The day he was born she held him, rocked him, and sang him songs (Happy Birthday, Twinkle Twinkle, etc.). So precious!!

Blake's Nursery

The nursery is complete. Now, we are just waiting on the little one to arrive. I love how it all turned out. There were lots of contributions from family on both sides. It makes it extra special!

Thanksgiving in Branson

Jason and I have been talking about making a trip to Branson since we moved to Little Rock. Since we don't have much longer here, we realized we needed to go now or it wasn't going to happen. So, we headed up there on Thanksgiving Day. We had a great time. Lots of eating, shopping, shows, & Christmas lights. I got in some fantastic Black Friday shopping at the outlet mall. They opened at midnight. I couldn't sleep well, so I went shopping at 4am, and was back in bed at the hotel around 6:15am. No one even noticed I was gone!

We went to 2 Christmas dinner theater shows. The Dixie Stampede was lots of fun. They fed us tons of food while we watched a cute show with trick riders on horses and competing sides. We also saw Christmas on the Trail at the Shepherd of the Hills. It included a chuckwagon dinner while cowboys ang Christmas carols and told Cowboy Christmas stories. We did 2 drive-thru Christmas light displays. Poor Reese fell asleep before we made it into either one, so she missed all the neat lights. Reagan and I even managed to squeeze in an afternoon showing of Tangled. Overall, it was a great trip. Our first real family vacation!

This was Reese's favorite thing to do in our hotel room. Everytime we looked up she had climbed up onto the luggage rack. She used to it to climb on the bathroom counter, to hang out (as pictured), as a bridge to cross from one bed to another, to hang Minnie from, etc. Who knew a luggage rack could be endless fun?

The Classic Big Rocker

In case you missed it at the top, I added this fun picture again.
I would love to have come cute little caption to go with it, but I'm too tired to work my brain and come up with something. If you've got an idea, feel free to leave it in the comments.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Reese!!

This weekend we celebrated Reese's 2nd Birthday! I can't believe she's 2 years old already. She's our sweet, fearless, bundle of joy, and she makes everyday so much fun! We love you very much, Reese Abigail!!
