The Waddells: It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!

I'm officially the worst blogger ever! As promised in my previous blog, here is some updates of the last few months! Let's see, we went to a couple of football games. Those were fun, even though we're awful this year. Here are a few pics of the games...

I had a birthday! James surprised me with a party at our house with some of our closest friends. It was really a great birthday, even though 23 seems like a big number for me. I shouldn't be 23 yet, should I? Yikes! Oh, and we had a great opportunity for some more pictures with the Crawford kids after some of the party cleared out. They are too precious.

Yeah, it's every single season.... :)

Yay for Willow Tree angels!

This picture is my all-time fave!! They are so stinkin' cute!

Isn't he just the cutest??

We spent Halloween with Zane and Ashley...always a fun time. We dressed up and had a blast. We went to see a movie after all of our trick-or-treaters had come and gone. We had a whopping SIX kids come to our house. Sad sad! Anyways, me and Ash saw High School Musical 3 (which was great) and the boys saw some scary movie.

The four of us at my in-laws' house!

My little cowboy...oh my!

My favorite little Dorothy!

One of my great friends, Hollie, got married on November 7. I got to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. It was a very beautiful and sweet wedding.

She let me be the princess at the rehearsal dinner :) How sweet of her!

The beautiful bride :)

This makes me laugh because the bride is wiping away Madison's tears! Isn't it usually the other way around? It was a sweet moment!

Me and my handsome husband at the reception!

We put our Christmas tree up the Saturday before Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun! I love getting ready for the holidays! It was so nice having my own home to decorate this year!

The next day, we FINALLY got to tell people that we're expecting! It was such a great day! We told my parents first and then ran over to his parents house to share with them right after! His mom had made me a shirt to wear for when we told them we were having a baby. Here is a picture of it! It's adorable :)

As always, we attended the Fantasy of Trees Gala on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun!! Any excuse to get all dolled up and spend a night eating good food and getting excited for Christmas!!

Thanksgiving was great this year! We got to spend time with both families. I only have pictures of some of the kids from the day (are you surprised?), but they're still cute!!

Here's Mackenzie! She has gotten to be about as much fun as her big sister!!! Love her!

This is sweet little Payten. This was just about everyone's first chance to meet her! She's a doll! Here she is with her daddy. He doesn't get to see her a whole lot right now, so this was a very sweet time for them! We don't get to see him a whole lot either, so it was just all around special!

Now here are some random pictures!!

This is me at about 8.5 weeks. Not a lot to show right there, but James insists on taking pictures. I'll try to put up progressive pictures regularly (no guarantees though!)
