Life at the Keever House

Well, Santa brought us a new car! We got a Chevy Traverse, and we're loving it! We needed more room than the 'ol Blazer could provide...so we upgraded. Don't worry, Old Blue is still in the family--we just have a roomier travel vehicle.



So we figured we needed to go thank Santa for such an amazing present...and Wyatt needed to meet our generous benefactor, so we headed up to the Bass Pro Shops. Yep, you read that right. Only in Alabama would Santa reside at the local Bass Pro Shops. We were expecting a redneck, Billy Bob Thornton sort of Santa, but surprisingly this Santa was awesome! It was absolutely precious seeing our little Wyatt on Santa's knee. He did great! There was no crying and our little man was completely enthralled with the raccoon puppet the photographer was waving around. So here are some pictures from this momentous occasion.

I am so far behind on my blogging! I'm so sorry to all of those who check our blog...life has been crazy since Thanksgiving. We've been preparing for Christmas, watching lots of football and spending lots of time with Nana and Caesar (my mom and stepdad).

Wyatt is still growing like a weed...he's weighing in around fifteen pounds now. He's also decided that his toes make for a lovely pacifier. He has taken an interest in some of his toys which is really fun to watch...and nice, because now I'm able to get a few things done around here since he can entertain himself. The little guy also never stops "talking". He talks to himself, to his toys, to Buck (our dog), and to us of course. But the biggest development in Wyatt's life, as of late, is that we started him on rice cereal. It's pretty much a mess every time we try...but I know he'll get the hang of it eventually. Plus, an extra full baby belly might equal a full night's sleep for mom and dad.

Anyway, in our near future is Christmas break. Thank goodness! Josh has finals next week and then we're off to Birmingham. We'll be in Birmingham with my parents through Christmas Day, and then the day after Christmas we're headed to Ohio to see Josh's family. We are so excited to get up there--we haven't seen Grandma and Grandpa Keever since September! We'll be in Ohio through New Years, so it will be a nice long visit. Maybe we'll get to see some snow and have a white Christmas!

Well, I'll try to post some new pictures soon...I just need to get them off of our camera and onto a computer first!

I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season and that your Christmas is shaping up to be a great one!

Thanksgiving was a hectic holiday, as usual...but it was wonderful to visit with family and friends.

First we drove to Birmingham to see my mom, Frank, Trey (my brother), Lindsey (Trey's girlfriend), and my grandparents. It was great to spend time with them and to have a wonderful dinner at GianMarco's in Homewood.

Then we drove over to Atlanta to spend the remainder of the weekend (and Thanksgiving Day) with my dad, Deborah, some more of my grandparents, Jon (my brother), and a bunch of family friends. Trey and Lindsey also made it to Atlanta on Friday.

If I tried to record all the details of our trip, this post would be a mile long...so I will spare you the details and just post some pictures. We hope that you all had as wonderful a weekend as we did!
