TOUR DE PEURIFOY- CHRISTMAS STOP #3 "THE PRUITT'S"

OK, SO THIS IS A LONG POST BECAUSE OF ALL THE PICTURES. IT TOOK ME A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET IT ALL ON HERE, BUT I ENJOY LOOKING AT MY BABY.
WE JUST HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TWO WEEKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I LOVE MY TWO BOYS AND WE JUST HAD THE MOST FUN. I LIKE BEING A MOM AND WIFE AND NOT HAVING TO WORK. THAT WOULD BE A FUN LIFE!

CHRISTMAS DAY
MOM, DAD, AMY, MARILYN AND LARRY CAME OVER AT 7:30 AM TO HAVE BREAKFAST AND WATCH CALEB OPEN HIS PRESENTS FROM SANTA.
CALEB WASN'T SURE HE WANTED TO GET UP THIS EARLY BUT...

ONCE THE GRANDMA'S CAME IN THE ROOM TO HELP WAKE HIM UP HE WAS EXCITED!

LOOK AT THESE GREAT SHIRTS! RICKY GOT THEM FOR EVERYONE ALL THE GIRLS HAVE "NAUGHTY" AND ALL THE GUYS HAVE "NICE".

CALEB LOOKS LIKE HE'S WRITING A NOTE TO SANTA!

HERE'S CALEB WITH HIS FAVORITE PRESENT. NOT THE ELMO LIVE, THE TRAIN, THE BALL, THE CARS OR THE BOOKS... IT'S THE BROOM. THE LITTLE KID'S BROOM.

GOOD MORNING MARY SUNSHINE!

TIME TO GET UP BIG BOY! SANTA CAME TO VISIT US LAST NIGHT!

JILLY'S CHECKING CALEB OUT, HE COULDN'T WALK IN HIS NEW RAIN BOOTS.

HE DID HAVE A WONDERFUL REACTION TO ELMO LIVE. WE LAUGHED AS HE OOOED AND AAAHHHED.

CALEB GAVE DAD A FATHER SON SNOW GLOBE.

I GOT THE LAST OF THE HARRY POTTER TALES, A FAIRY TAIL BOOK. I ALSO GOT A COOK CUP-CAKE BOOK AND DIMOND EARINGS. AWESOME BABY!

CALEB GAVE AUNT AMY A MUG AND A PUZZLE WITH ALL THE NIECES AND NEPHEWS ON IT.

I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD TRADE T-SHIRTS. DAD WAS CRAZY ON CHRISTMAS.

CALEB WAS HELPING ME FIND ANOTHER PRESENT FROM SANTA.

WE WENT TO THE PRUITT'S AROUND 9:OO. AS IS OUR TRADITION RICKY READ THE CHRISTMAS STORY AND WE EACH GOT TO ADD A CHARACTER TO THE NATIVITY. I THINK CALEB HERE IS ABOUT TO KIDNAPP MARY. HE LOVES MARY! WE HAVE THE NATIVITY CHARACTERS IN A BOX AND HE PICS OUT MARY EVERYTIME!

RICKY IS READING FOR THE FAMILY, BUT IF YOU COULD SEE AT HIS FEET COOPIE AND CALEB ARE INVADING THE STABLE.

LARRY AND MARILYN JOINED US FOR A LITTLE WHILE. CALEB LOVES MA' AND GRANDPA ROPER.

I WILL MISS CHRISTMAS AT CINDY & RICKY'S HOUSE. I HAVE ENJOYED ALL THE CHRISTMAS MORNINGS WHEN THE GIRLS COME DOWN THE HALL TO FIND THAT SANTA CAME. NOTICE THAT ALL THEIR SHIRTS SAY "NICE".

HE LOVES THIS TRAIN! ASHLEY GAVE IT TO HIM AND HE TAKES IT APART AND I HELP HIM PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

HERE WE ARE AT THE PRUITT'S WATCHING ALL THE KIDS OPEN THEIR PRESENTS. COOPIE GOT AN ELMO TOO AND CALEB WAS FACINATED. COOPER WAS SCARED!

HERE'S AMY HELPING THE GIRLS OPEN THIER PRESENTS!

CINDY WHAT'S GOING ON? SHE WAS HELPING COOPIE OPEN HIS PRESENTS.

WE JUST SAT AND WATCHED THE KIDS. IT WAS FUN.

LOOKS LIKE THE PEURIFOY'S WERE WORN OUT!

AFTER THE DEVO, SANTA AND BRUNCH. CHRIS, CALEB AND I WENT HOME FOR A NAP. CHRIS RETURNED TO THE PRUITT'S AND HELPED PACK THE MOVING VAN. THEY WERE GETTING READY FOR THE MOVE THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.

I GOT THE CHANCE TO WARM UP FOOD FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE CAME TO DINNER AFTER EVERYTHING WAS PACKED AWAY. DAD, COOPIE AND CRAIG ENJOY A JOKE.

RICKY y CINDY FINALLY RELAX. I ALREADY MISS THEM!

GRANDMOMMY HELPS ME FEED THE BOY HIS DINNER.

AUBREY AND LOLO EAT SOME SNACKS OFF THE TABLE.

COOPIE AND CALEB EXPLORE UNDER THE TREE.

WE TOOK THIS PICTURE WHEN EVERYONE WENT HOME. KATY IS RUNNING AROUND AND WON'T GET IN THE PICTURE. CHECK OUT LAST YEARS PICTURE!

THE AFTER PARTY

ONCE THE PRUITT'S AND COOPER'S WENT HOME AMY STAYED WITH US AND WE PLAYED WITH CHRIS'S NEW TOY - THE DISK GOLF BASKET. CALEB STAYED UP WITH US.

AMY AND I RAN AROUND WITH CALEB SWEEPING WITH HIS BROOM.

OPPS! AMY AND JANET GOT PUT OUT OF PLACE. THEY WERE AT OUR DINNER PARTY AS WELL.

WE HAD AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS SEASON.

WE LOVED OUR TIME OFF. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT VACATION LIKE WE DID. THANKS FOR READING MY FAMILY BLOG. I KNOW I DON'T UPDATE AS OFTEN AS I WOULD LIKE, BUT MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL GET BETTER... OH WAIT! THIS IS NEXT YEAR!

PEURIFOY CHRISTMAS 2008

WELL THE NEXT STOP ON THE PEURIFOY CHRISTMAS TOUR WAS THE PEURIFOY'S IN GLEN ROSE. GRANDADDY ROPER READ CALEB HIS NITE NITE STORY. HERE CALEB AND I ARE SITTING IN THE CAR RIGHT AFTER HE TOOK A NAP IN THE CAR. WE WERE VISITING GRANDMA STELLA. WE GOT TO TALK TO HER AND GIVE HER HUGS & KISSES.

CALEB HAS NEVER BACKED DOWN FROM A ROCKING HORSE. HE'S NEVER MET ONE HE DIDN'T LIKE.

SANTA CLAUSE FOUND US AT THE PEURIFOY HOME TOO.

I ENJOYED OUR VISITS WITH MARILYN. SHE'S SUCH A GREAT HOMEMAKER. SHE MAKES AN AWESOME BREAKFAST. SHE AND CALEB HAD A GREAT LITTLE GAME OF CHASE GOING. HIS HOME BASE WAS HOTSHOT'S DOG BED. JUST LIKE OUR HOUSE!

HERE IS A PICTURE OF CALEB OUTSIDE THE DOG BED, MOST OF THE TIME CALEB WAS INSIDE IT!

HERE'S THE HAPPY GROUP. WE HAD A GOOD VISIT TOGETHER.

THIS WAS THE LAST VISIT WE HAD WITH GRANDMA STELLA. SHE WAS IN AND OUT AND WE GOT A CHANCE TO HUG HER AND TALK TO HER ONE MORE TIME. I'M GLAD WE WENT, SHE TRUELY DID BLESS OUR LIVES. I LOOK FOWARD TO MEETING HER WITH HER STAN IN HEAVEN.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER! #1

COOPER TURNED ONE ON DECEMBER 11TH - THAT HAPPENED TO BE THE SAME DAY WE PUT THE TREE UP. SO WE HAD A SEPERATE DAY TO CELEBRATE COOPIE!

COOPER AND CALEB ATTACK AMY! NOTHING LIKE A GOOD OLD WRESTLING MATCH.
COOPER SUCKED ON HIS CHOCOLATE CAKE. HE WAS AWESOME TOUCHING THE CAKE AND SMEARING IT ALL OVER.

COOPER IS NOW CRAWLING AND WHEN HE WANTS TO HE STANDS UP AND WALKS WITH THE HIPPO CALEB LENDED HIM. HE'S SUCH A BIG BOY NOW!

AMY AND I DECORATED THE CAKE AND MOM MADE THE CAKES. A GROUP EFFORT.

WE WATCHED "ER" THEN DID THE CAKES. CAN YOU TELL WE WERE WORN OUT?

GRANDADDY WAS HELPING HIM PRACTICE HIS WALK.

THE VERY PROUD OLDER SISTER... AUBREY.

THE OTHER OLDER SISTER... LOLO. MAN I MISS THOSE GIRLS!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE BECAUSE OF MRS. MCCOVEN, AMY AND COOPIE. I THINK THEY LOOK CUTE HOLDING HANDS.

JAIMIE AND CORIE WERE PART OF OUR CELEBRATION. SWEET KANYON DIDN'T COME BUT HE SENT A HUG FOR COOPER.

RICKY AND CALEB WATCHING COOPER OPEN HIS PRESENTS.

NOW I TRY TO HOLD CALEB BACK FROM COOPERS PRESENTS!

COOPER HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM.

CINDY PUTS ON A GREAT PARTY!

PIZZA AND CHOCOLATE CAKE. WHAT ELSE WOULD A BIRTHDAY BOY WANT?

HERE IS A VERY SHORT VIDEO ON THE CELEBRATION. YOU'LL GET THE FEELING YOU WERE THERE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD COOPER PRUITT!
