POTTY Time!!!!!

OMG!!!!! I'm still in shock! McCall told me earlier today that she had to "pee pee" and I said "OK, does that mean you want to sit on your potty?" She nodded her head, so off I took her to her potty. I expected NOTHING! She had done this once before earlier in the week and did NOT potty, BUT this time was different! SHE USED THE POTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was this a one time thing? I wasn't sure....
But again, this afternoon she said she needed to potty and after a few minutes....she did it again!
I am in complete shock! I had not planned on potty training her until probably this summer, but who knows.... maybe she is ready now. We'll see... I'm trying not to get too excited!
One day McCall is going to kill me for the pictures below....but I hope you guys enjoy!
 McCall's first attempt earlier in the week when she did NOT potty....
 The real deal!! Look how proud she was!!!!!

Snow Day

I still can't believe it snowed here! Last year McCall was a little too young to enjoy the snow, but not this year! We all had a blast! Well, at least for a little while. Davy, McCall and I played in the snow a little before Davy got called into work :(
But then LaLa came to play along with Cousin Will, Brandon, Jencey and Hampton. We played for a while at our house before heading just up the road to add more to our snow play date....Austin, Pryce, Peyton, Ashlee, Toney, Maggie, Stoney, etc.... LOTS of family!

 Still excited about the snow!

Christmas Post....FINALLY

Gezzzz, I thought being at home with McCall this week I would have had time to do this post a lot earlier....yeah, not so much. It's hard to sit down and blog when you have an active 20 (almost 21 month)around!!
OK, so on to the good stuff.....CHRISTMAS!!!!
We had such a blessed Christmas! My parents came to town (Mom on Wednesday and Dad on Friday) and did Christmas with Davy's side of the family on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning and Christmas night....whew.... busy!!!!!!
 Jencey and Hampton came over a few days before Christmas and we did a little baking....
 the kids had a lot of fun "helping"
 But somehow, no matter what we were doing they always ended up back here..... at the Gingerbread house..this poor thing never stood a chance of making it to Christmas....
 Sweet boy enjoying his cupcake!!! :)


 McCall's new thing is to say "cheeeeeese" when I take a picture... can you tell what McCall and MiMi are both saying?
 I don't know who taught her this...

 Christmas Eve at Aunt Maggie's (Kevin, Charly and Keli)

 Austin sharing with McCall
 For some reason, McCall thought she could get in this and ride it.... silly girl! But it was funny watching her try!
 Cousins!!!!! Pryce, McCall, Peyton, and Austin
 Christmas morning....overwhelmed, looking at what Santa brought her.....
 Playing with her new kitchen

 Playing with La La Christmas night

 OK, as if I needed another reason for DSS to show up at my house (remember.... I locked McCall in our house and in our car? I DO!!!) McCall's La La and Pa Pa decided she "needed" this.....
I don't even know what else to say about this item except for ...at least it's pink......(for those concerned...it is in our safe and will remain there until she is MUCH older)
 Cousin Will and McCall playing with her baby
And now playing with Amber!

What We've Been Up To This Week.....

Christmas is a few days away???? Oh goodness, we have been so busy! We went to Easley for a few days to visit with my family, went to Emily's Baptism, and have had lots of other things in between. I'll let the pictures do the talking...ENJOY!

 She sure does love cousin Will!!!

 OH MY GOODNESS! The Beards had everyone over after the Baptism. Koehler and her family did a fantastic job with the food!!!!! I wish I had taken more pictures of the spread, but I guess I was too busy eating :)

 I just had to take one more picture of that sweet face!
 Hampton and McCall went to Santa's Village to see Christmas lights Sunday night.



 The Village even had a petting zoo...
