Visiting with Grandma Smithson

Grandma Smithson came to visit all the way from Texas! This was her first time seeing Logan since he was 9 months old (Nov. 2004) and the first time ever meeting Liam and Lainey! We had a great time hanging out with her during the Superbowl. It is hard to believe she is 85...she looks wonderful. She plans to stay in Georgia for the month of February. We hope to visit with her many more times while she is here for the month.

Logan was excited to see his daddy's Gigi! Logan and Grandma Smithson were best buddies from the minute she walked in the door! Liam was not as sure about her. It usually takes him a while to warm up to people, but when he saw his brother getting some attention, he was all about loving on Grandma! Lainey didn't know what to think about Grandma...Grandma thinks it was her dark hair! After a while Lainey decided to hang out in the same room with Grandma and she even let Grandma hold her. I think it is awesome that my children have so many Great Grandparents who are living (10 total if you count Sid's step-grandparents and my birth grandmothers)! Longevity must be in the family....YEA!
We wish Grandma Smithson lived closer to us, but we also know Texas would miss her! Thank you to Aunt Lisa and Papa Noel for letting her come to Georgia to visit. We know you miss her when she is away. We are taking good care of her while she is here! Hopefully Grandma won't get too homesick! :)

Pictures With Mr. Claus...aka: Santa

Logan and Liam waiting to see Santa.

After an hour of waiting in line to see Santa, we finally got to tell him what we wanted for Christmas....


* Logan wants a Hanny Manny Transform Tool Truck.

* Liam wants "Apple Juice!"....Logan told Santa just to bring Liam a truck!


* Lainey wants a break from her brothers.

* Sid wants a day off of work, a day off of school, away from crazy children, and no "Honey Do list!

* DeAnn wants a day of Peace and Quiet!

Verdict: Santa says, "I will work on that!"


Santa and the kids....

Logan was too heavy for Santa's lap, Lainey would stare and cry (she isn't liking too many men right now), and Liam....Isn't he such a pleasant child?
