The holiday season started out with a big milestone for the Big Guy - solid food! During the first two bites, he was a bit skeptical. From the third bite on, he couldn't get enough! Thus far he has liked everything except beets. Can't say that I blame him. His favorite foods are anything and everything that doesn't have beets. I really can't pinpoint a favorite because he gobbles everything up.
Bradley's appetite is serious. He has milk before a meal and then he will scarf down two jars of baby food. That means we can go through 5-6 jars of food a day. We may go broke trying to feed this kid.
Addison's favorite past time is mothering her baby dolls. When she is playing with her babies she often likes to get dressed up and "go to Publix". She has quite the imagination and sense of fashion. Her fashion philosophy is more is more!
Each year we split holidays between our families. Thanksgiving was spent with the "Tew Crew" and Christmas was spent with "The Hamlations" (Can you tell Brad really likes nicknames?)
At Thanksgiving, I was tasked with creating arrangements for Tula's pretty tables. November in Mobile doesn't yield many pretty blossoms, so I focused on using foliage to create the look. I think the combination of colors and textures turned out beautiful. Best part of these arrangements is they were free! I trimmed them from The Tew's front yard that morning in my pj's:)
Aunt La made the most adorable paper grocery bag turkey for the kid's table. These pictures don't do it justice!

This Christmas was so amazing. Addison was old enough to start grasping the true meaning of Christmas and was so excited about all the different activities of the season. It's just magical to watch her experience all the traditions of our faith with such joy and excitement. Bradley was thrilled to finally receive some "boy" toys to play with:) Below are pics from all our Christmas events....

MJ is just the opposite of Bradley! She is the pickiest eater EVER!!! Maybe I need to bring her over so Bradley can teach her a thing or two about food! ;)
Love everything about this! From Addison's fashion philosophy, to your gorgeous Thanksgiving table, to Bradley's precious round face! Love getting caught up! :) Would love to catch up in person sometime soon! :)
I ran into Brad today in Crestline. Mason was jealous that Brad was "going to ride the bulldozer" (I couldn't convince him otherwise) and he called him a firefighter, I guess because of his hardhat and safety vest. Basically Brad just became the coolest person on the planet to Mason! :)
