Christmas has come and gone, but at the Poole residence we are still unpacking. Three car loads from Liberty to Hattiesburg is all it took!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is that family and friends were too good to us. We had such a great time visiting our Family over the last few days and I do not believe the girls were spoiled not once. (ha-ha) I can say that they have their grandparents wrapped around their fingers. I am so thankful for my family and that we were able to share Anna and Sydney's first Christmas with the ones we love. I will always remember these times and cherish them. Enjoy our Christmas updates.

Pa Dave and ALL his girls.

Christmas at Mema and Pop Pop's. They each got a mini chouch and love them. Anna also loved her toothbrush that was in her stocking.

In their mini coops/ What fun we have had with these. I only wish there was seatbelts in them.

Christmas Morning and Santa was so good to the whole family. Anna and Syndey did not know what to do with themselves. They loved everything and all the attention. Anna talking on the phone in her new pink hat.

Loving their sit and spin Zebras.

Christmas Eve at The Butlers. Anna and Sydney had so much fun with the tissue paper from the gifts.

Aubrey and Addison were Christened Sunday morning and Micah and I were asked to be Godparents. It was such a good service and the church was beautiful.

Mema and Pop Pop had the girls Saturday afternoon and did a little baking. They made a Santa Claus cake and decorated it. I am not sure what she was thinking, but in the end Anna and Sydney tried out a little icing. And they loved it.

Every year the Poole Family has an Annual Gumbo Cooking and usually there is anywhere from 75 to 100 people there. This year it was 99. Anyway whats a little family and food without some football. It is a blast to watch the annual football game, its all ages and a little girl or two thrown in. Micah and Jacob's team won this year.

Muvie and Syd listening to Twas the night before Christmas. I love this part of the Gumbo Cooking. Uncle Bo reads to all of the children.

Syndey got into the chocolate pudding. Thanks Mema and Pop Pop.

We had our annual Friend Christmas Party at the Wamble's this year. Paige out did herself with crafts for the kids and cookie decorating. It was so much fun and all of the kids had a blast. I need to be shot though because I did not take many pictures.

So this was not taken at the party, but we have decided that Syd is friends with ET. If you have seen her lately you have seen the "finger" that she points with and holds up all the time. I can't wait for her to look at us and say "ET phone home"

Me with my beautiful niece Addsion the week before she got to come home from the hospital.

Saturday was filled with breakfast, parties, and football. What a day of running, running, running. We started our morning with breakfast with Santa, then traveled to Bay Springs for Lily's First Birthday. What a precious child she is. After the party everyone came back to our house for the SEC championship game. We had so much fun visiting with everyone.

Snowing in Hattiesburg really put our family in the mood for Christmas

Micah got to go to the Saints game the other night.

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I do believe we wore the girls out with all the running. We really enjoyed the holiday vacation and were able to make rounds and see a whole lot of family and friends. We had Thanksgiving lunch at Jacobs and supper at my mom's. We visited with my dad and other family Thursday afternoon and on Friday. Needless to say on Saturday we stayed in our pjs all day. The girls have a horrible cold right now, but all-in-all they were great babies. On Sunday, we headed back to Hattiesburg to start decorating for Christmas. The girls were such big help. (haha) I do not know what I am going to do about them and the Christmas tree. It will be exciting to see over the next few weeks!!!!!

Alexa and Anna

Uncle Jake and Sydney

Anna has decided that she would rather push Syd in the walker than actually be in it. Anna discovered how to get under the stools over the weekend.

And here we are again under the stool, so much fun. (and an accident waiting to happen)

Enjoying alittle pancake breakfast.

We had such a good and much needed weekend around the house. Micah and I got several things done around the house that we had been putting off and we actually got a little rest. They girls are doing better and other than Anna's runny nose it seems that they are on the mend. Syd was finally fever free on Sunday. As you can see in these pictures, she was ready to put on a show.
The girls watching cartoons in their new bean bags. (They were suppose to be part of christmas, but Santa came early) Sydney with her microphone.

I think they might be little entertainers. They have a few other musical toys that they love.
