They Say It's Your Birthday

We celebrated Carsyn's birthday on the 31st, a day late. Her first visitors were Uncle Jerrye and Aunt Barby. They came during the OU game, thus her black and red outfit.


Here is Daddy and Jerrye helping her.





Again, when in doubt, climb on the package.




After a little nap, we changed into our birthday outfit. Don't you just love it? I got her shirt off Etsy. So cute!



She needed another little nap with Daddy. She wasn't feeling 100%.







It's hard for mommy to get a picture with her baby without taking it herself.





Like the table. I didn't go crazy with the decorations or celebration. We had a family party at my parent's house in Oklahoma.




This is the big peoples cake.




Carsyn's personal smash cake. I know it looks a little scary. But it's just a cute little frog. The colors matched and she had a frog pacey.




Here is Carsyn looking cute eating her napkin.




Carsyn enjoying MawMaw.








Five generations!! MamMaw Reece, Grandma Phyllis, Granny, Momma and Carsyn.




Our family of three.





Carsyn needed a little help from Momma and Daddy to get the candle blown out.






What is this?



Here is a little taste test. Gunner is encouraging her.


OK, maybe this is not that bad. Maybe this is actually pretty good.



Yeah baby! This stuff is AWESOME!



Give me more cake! Give me more cake!


Time to hose her off.



Clean Up Clean Up, Everybody Clean Up. Is that a glazed over sugar induced look?



Such cute presents!


Gunner is guarding Carsyn's presents until she can come open them.


Cute Baby.



Look! I got ribbons!



Hooray! I got a box full of paper!

Adorable!! Don't you just want to eat her up!

Carsyn reading her new pop up book from Jenni, Donavan and Gunner. Thanks friends!


Daddy showing Carsyn the fun animals that Granny and PaPa T got her.

Carsyn had about enough of opening presents. She needed Daddy. Gunner helped me unwrap the rest. He's a professional now. She's had 2 Christmas's and 1 birthday.


Carsyn was loving hanging out with Donavan.


Gunner testing out Carsyn's new puppy.


Grandma Phyllis and Carsyn are explaining something really important.


Carsyn and MamMaw loving on each other. For all my non-family members, this is Carsyn's Great Great Grandma. She's 97 and still climbs up the stairs every night to her bedroom. Impressive.



That's how we ended the night. With a little lovin'. I know this post wins the prize for the most pics. Thanks for hanging in there to the very end.

Christmas Texas Farm Style

We traveled to my Uncle Jerrye's and Aunt Barby's house the Sunday after Christmas. They live outside of Wichita Falls on a sort of farm ;-)

This is what Carsyn got for Christmas. How adorable is she.


That's Jerrye's hand pointing out the finer features of her new barn.

New Do

Baby got her first hair cut from MawMaw.





In case you didn't know, Donna used to cut hair for a living. I'm sure Carsyn was one of her most difficult clients.

Christmas in Oklahoma

I was busy or tired so something. I didn't get any good pictures of Carsyn or anyone else for that matter on Christmas day night in Oklahoma.

Here is Tony and Carsyn playing with blocks from Aunt Misty and Uncle Jeff.

Christmas Morning Continued

Snow on Christmas morning. It was beautiful. We started on Christmas Eve and actually stuck!




Carsyn woke up to stockings and more presents. Elmo! How fun is he.

Christmas Eve

We spend Christmas Eve with Tony's family. His parents, sister and her family came down to our house. Think we have few gifts?

Christmas can be a little overwhelming the first time around. Poor baby. It was almost her bed time when we started opening gifts. No pressure.


Daddy was there to help her though.


Some times it's best to conquer your fear by climbing on top of it!



After a little help, she was able to get to the good stuff. This is able as far as she got. She had to go to bed. We finished opening gifts in the morning.
