Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Family picture in front of Nana and Pe-paw's tree ...

All of the Kilgore gang... Back row: (the boys!) Marcus, Adam, Justin, Breeland, and Pe-paw (Sonny) Middle row: Heather, Blake, Leslie, Michelle, and Nana (Linda) Front row: Anna and Ian!

More presents!!!

The night after Christmas we got together with all of Justin's brothers and family... Blake got a big Tonka truck from his Uncle B, Aunt Michelle, Ian and Anna...

It's big enough for him to ride in.... and he rode in it and rode in it!!!

Blake also got a fun fire truck from his Uncle Marcus and soon-to-be Aunt Heather!

Daddy thought Blake should try on his new hat, but it didn't really fit!!!

Christmas morning!!!

Santa definitely found us!!! There were so many presents we didn't know where to begin!

Blake's first toy to open was a remote control car, just for little guys... its too cool, and Blake figured out how to work it right away!!!

Then he moved on to some big trucks!!! I can see some dirt in the back of those in no time!

Each present was amazing to Blake...

More from Christmas morning...

Blake got a really cool rocket that he absolutely loves...

And the ever popular popper was a huge hit too!

Blake had toys lined up!!! He just walked around pushing buttons and playing with everything!

Too bad Blake didn't really get a lot this year... what will he ever play with??? Actually, its more like, how can he choose what to play with?!? This was really a fun Christmas... Blake was excited for the most part opening all of his gifts and he wanted to play with each one he opened! Thank you Granna and Papa James for coming and staying the night with us, and for all the wonderful gifts!

Christmas Eve at Nana and Pe-paw's

We didnt' get a family shot this night, but we did catch Blake dancing with his Great Papaw!!! Too cute!

After the entertainment and a good dinner, Blake opened his presents from Nana and Pe-paw... Here he is with his really cute Curious George pj's...

But he really had more fun playing with the box!!!!

And he did surprisingly well with opening most of his gifts... He loved this truck from Nana and Pe-Paw! Thank you!!!

Christmas with Granna's family

Here's the family picture from our Christmas get-together with Granna's family (Leslie's mom's side!)... sadly Dustin was not able to make it, but we did see him on Christmas evening...and we missed Aunt Vicki and Uncle Steve too, but they will be here to visit in a few days!!! I think everyone had a great day with lots of good food, presents, and family fun! (Standing behind the couch is: Joey, Anna, Papa James, Granna, John, Uncle Vann, Aunt Joyce, Justin, Leslie, and Blake. And sitting: Tara, Meemie, Caylie, Aunt Sheila, and Uncle Terry!)

Everyone had a blast opening presents (and the surprise on my face if you enlarge this picture is crazy!)

Blake had to check out Caylie's gifts too... And of course she was happy to show off her make-up set!

Blake waited and watched Uncle Vann eat his pie, just hoping for a taste (which of course he did get!)

Christmas with Pe-paw's family

We had a great time with Pe-paw's family (Justin's dad's side) last night... We missed having Breeland, Michelle, Ian, and Anna there, but here's the rest of the immediate family with Pawpaw and Granny

Our Christmas card...

If you haven't received your Christmas card yet then here's a preview (sorry, we got them out late this year)... We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas holiday with lots of special family memories!

Congratulations Tara!!!!

Last Saturday we were very happy to get to see Tara (Leslie's cousin) graduate from UTK... Here's a few pics from the special occasion!

Tara - graduated with Honors - Summa Cum Laude!!!!! That is so awesome!

Tara and Kat (her boyfriend) after the graduation ceremony

And a family pic... Terry, Tara, Sheila, Dustin, and Caylie... We are all so proud of you, Tara!!!

Sweet Smiles!

Blake started walking towards me while I was taking this picture, so he's not centered at all, but this smile is just so sweet!!!

Think you have bad hair days...

Blake must really sleep crazy 'cause he seems to be waking up with some lovely hair....

Nice Mohawk!

(I felt bad for laughing at his hair, so I asked if I could have a kiss...)

Mmm....Pancakes!

I made some pancakes for breakfast the other morning... Blake tried to use his manners and eat with a spoon for a few bites...

But in the end his hands just got the job done so much better!

He wonders why it is that I'm taking a picture right now! (You'd think he'd be use to it by now!)

Snuggled Up

It was really cold the other night when we came in and Granddaddy made sure Blake was kept nice and warm!!!
