Christmas 2009

It seems like Christmas gets more fun every year. With the girls fully understanding the excitement of Santa as well as celebrating Jesus' birthday, we had a ball! We spent our time in between Birmingham, Montgomery, and Auburn with wonderful family and friends. The favorite gift thus far is the $5.00 beads and string that Santa brought.....we have multiple jewelry creations, many of which are hanging by safety pins to decorate the inside of their new princess tent:)

Way Overdue!!!

My blog posting days have been few and far between lately, so let me update you on the Thames crew. First of all, we are expecting a baby boy mid April! He will be Allyn Mabson Thames IV, and we will call him Allyn. My Allyn is very close with both his grandfather and father, so he is so proud to be able to continue the name. Needless to say, he is thrilled with the idea of having a little "buddy" to tag along beside him in all of his manly adventures. I keep having to remind him that it will be a while before baby Allyn will be spending the night at the hunting camp with him and holding a rifle! Because our whole world will soon be changing with the addition of a baby, we decided to go ahead and take a vacation to Disney with the girls. I have to say that it far exceeded our expectations! It was priceless to see their excitement upon meeting all of the characters and having them sign their autograph books. Disney is so beautiful at Christmas time, and it was a vacation we will all remember!
