Merry, Merry!

Nolan is getting SO BIG!!!

We have been incredibly busy this month, which explains why it has been so long since our last post! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and hope you enjoy all of the pictures we took in the last couple weeks!
Happy kids!

I got to hold a baby bunny! He was so SO soft!

Santa came to visit us at our "Maggard" family Christmas. Nolan did NOT like him at all!

I told Santa that I wanted a "King" (from the movie Cars) and a Cubs baseball bat.

Daddy and I played in the snow ALOT this month! We have been snowboarding down the hill in our backyard and I LOVE IT!!! After I had gone down the hill by myself a couple times I told dad, "I'm SO good at sports!" :)

Nolan and Aunt Abbie Christmas Eve!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Cole's house!

Our Family!

Christmas morning we woke up at our house!
I had a great first Christmas and Santa brought me a KING car!!! I was SOOOO excited! "THANK YOU, Santa!" Nolan had a great first Christmas! We are beyond blessed that he is here with us! :)

We ventured to Marion after our Christmas at home to spend the day with Mamaw Black! The next day we went to my Papaw Black's house to spend the day. I had a great time with all of my WONDERFUL grandparents in Marion!

Our last Christmas was the Cole/Talley Christmas where we celebrated at Gigi and Pap's house! Daddy surprised all of the boys and took them to the "Hoosier" gym where the movie Hoosiers was filmed. They got to play basketball and had a BLAST!

Nolan was pooped after such a long couple weeks of celebration (he fell asleep on Lindsay)!!

We are so blessed to have such an amazing family and are SO thankful to celebrate the birth of our precious Baby Jesus!!!!

Merry Christmas!

The Polar Bear Express

Friday evening G-mom and G-dad Toombs took us to ride the Polar Bear Express! We listened to a story and then hopped on the train in downtown Fishers and rode all the way to downtown Noblesville and back!

Kate, Savannah and I Getting ready to get on the train!
"ALLLLLLL ABOARD!"
Even the babies got to ride!
They were only interested in eating, sleeping, and hugging one another! :)

I asked Santa for a new "King" car and a new Cubs bat and Kate asked for a fishing pole! I hope we are on the good list this year! We also got to meet Mrs. Claus and their friendly Polar Bear, Snowflake!

THANK YOU, G-mom and G-dad for a great evening!!!

It's Beginning to Look alot Like Christmas!

Today after church we went to a christmas tree farm called Lost Forty Tree Farm.

All of the trees were perfect and looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

Nolan was NOT a happy camper about wearing this HOT snowsuit!
We bundled up and got out for a few minutes...Mommy and Nolan went back to the car and Daddy and I took off to find our tree. All of the trees at this farm were so nice, so it didn't take long to find the perfect tree for our house!

The tree looks great...now I just have to remember not to touch it! :)

Over the River and Through the Woods!

On Saturday evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa Cole's to have dinner and decorate the Christmas tree! I was such a good little elf!
Aunt Abbie helped me reach really high!

I really am the BEST big brother ever!

The Bigs with their Littles! :)

We also got to decorate sugar cookies!!!!

The finished product!

I could hardly wait to take a bite!!!

YUMMMMMMMYYY!!!!!!

We sure had a GREAT long weekend with the grandparents and especially Aunt Jamie, Uncle Chad, Kate and Kinley!

Hope everyone had a great, safe and happy holiday weekend! You better be good....

SANTA IS WATCHING YOU!!!

It's Turkey Day!

We went to Avon for Thanksgiving this year to the Toombs' house! We had nice dinner with wonderful family!
Here's Nolan and Great Grandpa Toombs!

Happy Thanksgiving from our Family to yours!

After we got home, we got to wear the Christmas jammies that Grandma Cole bought for us!

"I'm on Grandma and Santa's NICE list!"

THANK YOU, Grandma Cole!

Hope everyone had a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We have so much to be thankful for!

Nolan's getting SO big!!!

Last Friday was a BIG day for our baby boy! He rolled over from back to belly for the first time in the morning, went down for his afternoon nap and woke up with his first tooth! Monday the second tooth decided to come as well...

SO, our almost 5 month old officially has TWO teeth!

He amazes us everyday with the things he can do and we cannot believe how big he is getting!

He's ready for cereal now...Here are the pics. of his first bite!

Here we go...FIRST bite of cereal!!!
He didn't know what to think at first!

And in the end he decided it wasn't too bad!
(Cyrus' first experience with oatmeal was the exact opposite and he did NOT like it at all!!!)He has also been enjoying some time in his jumperoo! (Check out those legs...and kankles!!!)

Nolan is also holding his head up like a pro, grabing and grasping things laying becide him or hanging in front of him, putting them into his mouth, and CRACKING up at the silly things his big brother does! :) We are truly blessed!

Random photos to share...

Uncle Kelly sent gifts from LA! Thanks Uncle KK! We love and miss you!
Brotherly LOVE!!!

"I'm the BEST big brother, EVER!"

B.I.G. Blue eyes!!

I'm taking swimming lessons!

I had a rough first class but the second class was MUCH better! I am starting to enjoy learning to swim and am starting to really like my teacher, Ms. Heather!

This tree is in our backyard!
Autumn is so beautiful!

Nolan LOVES this doggy that Brett, Courtney and Berkley (Talley) got him when he was born! Mommy puts it in the corner of the crib and it lights up and plays 10 or 20 minutes of lullabys that Nolan LOVES to fall asleep to. When mom goes back in the room to check on him, EVERY TIME he has pulled the doggy so that it is right next to his ear.

(SOOO sweet!)
