We had a good night of sister bonding over Thanksgiving. I'm so very thankful for these two.

Briley thinks his cousin Coco is "pretty" and that his cousin Austin is the coolest thing ever. He made sure to act very grown up in front of them. So of course he had to pull out his super cool shades when they were getting ready to leave.

Greatest picture ever :)

Yep, that's right! No. more. diapers!

At 2.5, Lawson is officially potty trained! We even said goodbye to the stinky Diaper Champ and changing pad this week.

I was totally prepared for him to go to kindergarten in diapers. He's messy, doesn't care if he's dirty, etc., etc. Oh, and his big brother was potty trained well before his 2nd birthday.


So, I didn't want to pressure him, and I was sure that he wasn't ready. But after weeks and weeks of staying dry at school, I decided it was time to say goodbye to the stinky and expensive diapers. Pull-ups never worked for either of the boys, we went straight to "big boys", and after a few accidents, singing Itsy Bitsy Spider on the potty for #2, and a few days, the little guy was out of diapers! I am so proud of him, and so thankful that I don't have to change another stinky diaper!

Christmas starts early around here since we do my family's side Christmas at Thanksgiving. The boys were spoiled with a new assortment of Imaginext toys.

Grandma and Peepaw came in town this weekend, and the boys were so excited to have them here. It was either cold or rainy or both, so we spent lots of time hanging out inside.

The new camera is here, and it is amazing! I have a baby session tomorrow where I'll use it for the first time, and with all the rain, I've literally taken 3 pictures with it. I know they may not look too exciting, but this was natural light, inside sometime past sunset, and it was dark in the house. Here's what the boys did while I was cooking dinner.

Lawson watched Cars.
