Christmas in Covington

Opening a present with Uncle Brooks, Aunt Shell, and Aunt Tori in the background

Pax and Papa opening another gift

Pax opening his big gift--his art desk

After Papa and Aunt Kathy put the desk together, Pax loved sitting at the little stool and coloring his new Mickey Mouse coloring book.

Uncle Brooks and Aunt Shell got a new puppy and brought her to Christmas. She is so sweet, and Pax really liked her. He wanted to know what she was doing at all times. Pax is giving her a squeeze here. Too sweet!

Cousin Sam, Aunt Tori, and Brad

Another one of Mimi and Pax holding Dally (spelling?). He kept patting his lap for her to climb in!

He loved her so much! If you enlarge this picture, you can see Dally giving Pax a kiss! He even brought his "B" (blanket) and "Be-bo" (pillow) for her to use. He wanted to share his paci, too! He likes to share his blanket lately. He will take the smooth, silky part and rub it on his stuffed animals' ears the same way he does when he's falling asleep.

Christmas day we drove to Covington to spend time with Brad's family. Paxton got some more really neat presents: an art desk, savings bonds, cash for his bank account, a cash register (which was his favorite gift--he wouldn't open any other presents once he saw that), a John Deere book and socks, a Spider Man fishing pole to use with Uncle Brooks, several other books, some clothes, and a couple more Elmo things. These are definitely not all the things he got, but I just named a few.

Lots of Brad's family came over Christmas day, and then we headed to LaGrange to see some more the next day. Yes, he got more presents at Aunt Tammy's house! He is one well-loved little guy! We are so thankful to have families around us that love us--and Pax!:-) A big thanks to everyone for making Paxton's second Christmas so great!
