Christmas in Savannah

Ok, so I need to back up and fill you in a little more about Lindsay's wedding weekend. Well, as I said, we left all three boys in Savannah with James' parents. Both of my sister-in-laws and my brother-in-law also came into town while we were at the wedding, and were extra hands to help with the twins. Aidan was a breeze and had a blast with his cousins, but the twins kept everyone.....busy. Turns out, no one slept and the babies cried pretty much the whole time. So while James and I were doing the chicken dance at the wedding, 5 adults were taking shifts with my babies. I owe everyone a drink (or 5)! 

I should warn you.....below you will see entirely too many  A LOT of pictures! If you do not like looking at family pictures, you might want to skip this post. I have to include all these pictures so the boys know how very special they are!

Here is Landon with his great-grandma and grandpa Brogdon. She is also a twin!
Sweet Grayson riding with daddy in the baby carrier.
Aidan loves Nanni's dogs Sissy and Alex. Roxy (our chihuahua) has been staying with Nanni as well since Thanksgiving, while we get into a routine with the babies. We miss her and can't wait to have her home, but we know she is being spoiled rotten and having a blast with her doggie friends!
Mimi (James' mom's mom) with one of the boys!
4 generations of Brogdon men. You can see where my boys get their good looks.
Sarah taking her shift at baby duty. This might be against some child labor laws in some states, so don't tell. We didn't pay her so we might be ok, but trust me, she worked hard as well!
Those smiles are forced.
Once again, forced smiles.
Yep, thats more like it.
Looks about right....
We are home!! And I missed my boys so, so much!!

Buddies

This is Aidan and his friend Mitch.

They are buddies.

I have a feeling they are going to give their mom's a hard time in the future....

Aren't they cute?

Playing nice....

....and not so nice.

But, they have something very special in common.....

....their baby twin brothers.

My 27th birthday and Lindsays Wedding!

Yeah, yeah, I am WAY behind. I think it is this time of year. Things are busy.

I turned 27 back on Dec 14th. It is a strange birthday. I feel old when I think about being "27". The number is scary. BUT, I don’t feel 27. I feel like I am still 21, minus the late nights partying and going to class with only a few hours sleep thing. Fun times.

I must say I am very happy with where I find myself at the ripe old age of 27. I have three beautiful boys who keep me busy (and have given me a few wrinkles recently), a sweet husband who works very hard during the day to come home and work even harder, a home, food, clothes, and family that we see often. Life is good!

On the 19th of December one of my dear, dear friends Lindsay got married to a wonderful guy named Justin. James and Justin have become friends over the years and talk text a lot, especially during college football season. Justin is a Gator. Ugh.

James and I were lucky enough to go to their wedding with NO KIDS! Seriously, it was wonderful. I never even imagined leaving Aidan when we was 4 months old, but any 2nd time mom will tell you, it is different with your 2nd (and 3rd). I knew they would be well taken care of and loved on by their Nanni, and I KNEW I NEEDED a break. So, we packed the kids up on Thursday night. Arrived in Savannah after midnight, stayed up until 2am getting everything ready for James' mom, and left the next morning at 9 for Amelia Island. (And didn't look back!)

The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Lindsay was stunning!! Here are some random shots from the weekend.


Isn't this the cutest cookie ever? We got these at the bridal lunchon.

And a few from my birthday...... Not sure where this picture came from, but it's cute.

Snuggie! Corey got me my own pink snuggie for my birthday and I LOVE IT!
