Christmas in Charleston

A Mo-mo!!!

His new Lorax riding the mo-mo, too

Gigi, Adam, and the Lorax

Pile on Uncle Adam

Riding his mo-mo around Aunt Cindy's house
(Aunt Suzie--I was playing with the settings, and tried to do what you taught me, but it's so hard to take a moving child's picture with that setting. Hahaha!)


Going to look at Christmas lights around Cindy and Bruce's neighborhood in their new "golf" cart. We had a lot of fun riding around and saw some really pretty lights!

Bye Cindy, Gigi, and Bruce

This was the winning house--they had the prettiest lights. Next time we're going to take a plate of cookies to the winner!

Here comes the ball...

They caught it with Paxton's new glove!
Riding his mo-mo outside at Gigi's house

The family-Uncle Bruce, Aunt Cindy, Adam, Mom, Dad, Brad, Gigi, Pax, and Me


Pax and Me

Giving me a squeeze--he's gotten really good at giving out hugs lately!

Pops, Pax, and Grandma

Sweet smile!

Pax, Pops, and Top Spin

He loves this dog, and I'm glad this dog loves him, too!

Gigi and 2 of her grandkids plus her only great-grandchild (for now, anyway--my cousin & his wife are due in April, and couldn't be with us this year for Christmas. We also missed DC!)

Me, Gigi, and Adam
SANTA

Warming up to Santa, and Uncle Adam helping Pax give him High 5 (one of his new things--he says it and then does it--pretty cute!)

He got a plate for cookies

Oh Boy---big boy pants!! Thank you, Santa!

Not so sure who this hairy guy is--but at least Pax is in his lap!!!


He gave Santa 3 or 4 hugs! We have made such progress!!!

Opening his cow clock toy from Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bruce

He loved it! In fact, earlier that day, Brad was making a cow sound, and Pax became obsessed with cows. The gift was perfect for this new obsession!

His favorite gift of the night--a T-ball set. He refused to open anything else, and only wanted to play with this.

A Tickle Me Elmo from Gigi-he thought it was fun to tickle him!

Pax got Daddy this collage

Thanks, Aunt Suzie, for taking these and making them into this beautiful collage!! We love it!

Showing me a book that he got in his stocking Christmas morning before we headed back to GA

Holding another Tag Junior Book (he got 2 last night)
Gigi and Pax


He loved sitting with Gigi while she played to piano

It was so sweet!


We had a great time in Charleston with my family! We stayed at Gigi's and got to spend lots of time with her! Pax got all kinds of fun things for Christmas: a mo-mo (which is actually a tricycle--he calls bikes, motorcycles, and now tricycles all mo-mos), a Leap Frog Tag Junior, Tickle Me Elmo, and several Elmo things, a big huggable horse, a toy cow clock, cars, a T-Ball set, (basketball goal and train table before Charleston) just to name a few! Thank you for a great trip and Christmas!
