That Choco-holic William

The apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree. What can I say, but the kid loves chocolate...who can blame him! Now, if we can just teach him how to let it melt in your mouth, and not in your hands!

What every man should have...

...is a pair of Carhartt's. Now, thanks to my cousin, Deb, he's now the very proud owner of a pair. He wears them well, and says that they make him feel like a country boy : ) I just think their plain cute! *disclaimer- please excuse the hair...it's winter, and static is not our friend, ha!*

Christmas...Lovelady style

We spent this Christmas morning at home opening our gifts to each other, eating cinnamon rolls and otherwise just enjoying our time together. William is getting to the age where the Christmas morning excitement is close to palpable. Santa was definitely good to him this year. It almost made me feel like a kid again too...seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child. I wasn't very good at taking lots of pics this year. I took a few, but I got wrapped up in all the excitement and the camera collected dust in the corner. Here are the few that I did manage to capture.

He wasn't too sure about Lightning McQueen

Moving on...

Here he is getting some last-minute driving instructions

Loved his work bench...thanks Jess!!

Didn't waste any time digging in!

Checking out the loot

Liked the motorized car...

Until he found the "go" button...As a side note, we can't get him of of it now!

Merry Christmas, From our Home to Yours...

Dear Santa...

I just wanted you to know that I've been a really good boy this year.

I've helped mom with her cooking...

I've helped her clean out the refrigerator

I helped to clean out the pantry....several times!

I even helped mama wrap presents!

So...in short...please hurry, Santa...

I was a good boy last year....

but this year has just been filled with extra goodness!

Love, William

Lions, Tigers and Bears...oh my!!

Ok, so maybe just one tiger was at the Hattiesburg zoo last week when we went. It's a fairly small zoo, so William missed out on the lions and bears, but since big cats scare him, I don't think he minded! He loved all the little monkeys and birds...anything smaller than him! His favorite was the train, or "choo choo". He was a little skeptical at first, but was saying "choo choo" the whole ride, but at $2 a pop, I'm sure we'll be taking another ride soon!

Enjoying the monkeys

His fave...Mr. and Mrs. Monkey

Wasn't a fan of this one at all : (
