Dude, Where's My Truck Been??


Rachel has been driving Uncle Matt's truck since her car was totaled in an accident. We noticed that she seems to take it off-road a little more than Matt did!!!

Aunt Rachel Comes To Visit














Rachel got her snuggle time in with Caleb before she opened her gifts. She got a beautiful chest from the parents, but Uncle Matt's gift truly made her day!!! Do you think that she likes it???

What Mocha Doing???

Jay loves Uncle Matt's dog, Mocha!! When he talks to Mama-J or Daddy-J, he always asks what Mocha is doing. It appears that Mocha likes Jay too!

Boys Having Fun In Rome

Jay has been playing the piano constantly since he arrived. He really enjoyed having Aunt Gail play some of his favorite songs! We even managed to be sneaky and get him singing on video. Caleb thought his Me-Maw was pretty funny!

More for Uncle Matt!!











So far, you've missed the annual gift of underwear (but Jay got "big-boy underwear "just like daddy"). Not to worry though...there are still presents waiting to be opened by you!! Also, you'll be sorry to hear that Mom mixed up the goodie tins this year and we couldn't find what we wanted to eat on the first try...so disappointing!!! We love you very much and miss you lots!

Just for Uncle Matt!!






Jay loves his little bulldozer and is already good at working it! Caleb is getting to be a big boy (James says he has a quarterback and a nosetackle in the making). Jay is displaying Uncle Matt's present from the Hudgins-we hope that you like it since it was #5 on your pick list!!Finally, we didn't want you to miss out on your Christmas morning glass of chocolate milk, so here you are!!

The Crew (after the little boys went to bed!)





We finished opening our gifts after Jay & Caleb were asleep, but we missed Uncle Matt and Aunt Ra-Ray.

Some of Jay's Goodies















A "big, big, big" piano from Mama-J and Daddy-J, a "that's so cool" remote controlled bulldozer from Uncle Matt and a "cute" jean jacket from Me-Maw.

The Christmas Story...


Daddy-J read us the REAL Christmas story...Jay had to be in his lap for story-time!!!

Caleb Meets Mama-Dot!














Christmas Eve was Caleb's inaugural trip to Patmos, GA where he met his Mama-Dot for the first time.

Happy After Lights & Santa!

While Caleb stayed at home with Grandmother, we saw Santa (but did not wish to sit with him) and posed in the cold! Next stop...hot chocolate!
