Merry Christmas!

Nelson had a wonderful Christmas! First, he opened gifts with his mommy, daddy, Gammy, Poppa, Gigi and Papa John. Then, Nanny came by to have breakfast with everyone! He loved his book from Aunt Alison, Uncle Wes and Cousin Davis.

Then Nelson went to visit friends Cordae and Michael and check out all of their gifts!

Next stop was lunch at Mamaw and Papaw's house. Above he is spending quality time with Uncle Mike. Below he is hanging out with cousin Cody. They were discussing the BC basketball season.

Uncle David took Nelson to see all of the animals on the Siniard farm. Hi Georgia May!
Nelson kissed the goats.

He loved climbing on the fence!

And of course, every farm boy needs to know how to drive a tractor!

Next stop: Nanny's house. Mission: Play with the cousins!

Nelson's silly mommy got everyone matching pjs.

The boys are sticking together!

Nelson loves his Gamm and Poppa!

Kisses? Mommy I haven't seen your Hershey kisses! I have been playing with my Elmo DVD.

Nelson ended the evening by wearing a candy dish that Aunt Anna made Mommy for Christmas!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Weekend at Gigi and Papa John's house

Nelson loves to go to visit Papa John & Gigi and all their animals!

Below he is waiting on the dogs to come in from the deck so that he can chase them.

He calls Denali "D" and he's got Annie down. We're still working on Lucy & Lizzie Grace.

Nelson and Daddy play a little tune on Gigi's piano. Gigi was so impressed that Nelson was playing with both hands and he even sang a little too.

Nelson and Papa John got a good workout on the exercise ball while Lucy and Annie observed.
