Catching Up

I can't believe it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. This is Kashs first Christmas and I feel like I'm running around like a crazy lady {which I probably look like}. Now that my shopping is complete and Christmas is just a few days away I feel like I can slow down and breath... and post :) 

     I posted this photo on Instagram one morning when Kash and I were home cuddling. Little did I know Target ended up liking my photo and posting it to their own Instagram. I most definitely cried for about 15 minutes. Only a mom would understand. It was he highlight of my week, along with my husbands Christmas party and celebrating our one year anniversary together. I feel like I've known him my whole life. I couldn't be happier. 

 We took Kash man to see Santa at the mall. It was a Saturday but the line was fairly short. Keith and I gulped down two large Starbucks coffees to make it through the line while Kash was In major AW over all the other children. We were afraid he would be scared of Santa, but this kid is so easy going he acted like him and Santa hung out everyday. He melts my heart. 

Last but not least I finally got our Christmas cards in and mailed out to family and friends. Here's a few photos from our "Grandmas house photo shoot". This kid lets us do whatever we want with him. Christmas is only a few days away I'm so excited I can't stand it. I'm so ready for good food, mimosas, and watching this little boy get spoiled by Santa. 

Weekend Fun

  December is in full swing! That means every weekend is full of activities involving Christmas in some way. Kash is really liking at the action going on everywhere we go. Keith was on call all weekend so Kash and I spent a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa. Market common in Myrtle Beach had a few things going on so we grabbed lunch and spent the day walking around. We found a huge Christmas tree in the square so it clearly turned into a photoshoot {as always}

      Sunday we went to the Murrells Inlet Christmas parade. I assumed Kash would love all the music & costumes more than anything but he was more interested in the candy we were piling up on his stroller tray. Keith even tried taking the candy wrappers away and Kash threw an outrageous fit. 

      Kash flipped over the chubby bulldog in reindeer ears in the back of the car. He thinks our dogs are just the coolest things on earth so he immediately spotted this cute guy. 

      The most precious part of the parade was some little girls walking next to this frozen float. A bunch of them ran up to me to put candy in my hand, the last little girl missed the memo and dunked tootsie rolls in my wine {my candy cup apparently} My brother almost died laughing. The innocence of kids is so heartwarming sometimes. Next weekend we plan to take little man to meet Santa at the mall, We will see how this one goes. 

   Have a great week everyone! 

Turkey Time

       I can't believe another holiday as a family is done and over. I'm pretty sure I'm still full up to my eyes. It went so fast I didn't have time to take all the food pictures everyone else did. I'm sure yall looked at just as many delicious things as I did ;) I'll spare those. We started at Keiths moms house where we did do a little family stroll down the neighborhood. I think every parent wants that super cute baby picture in the leaves.. We had some successful pictures, some not so great.  

 The next morning after some "fake tree hunting" we made breakfast and put up our first tree. We figure when Kash is old enough for a real one we can find a tree farm. My mom started Kash with the cutest baby's first Christmas ornament. We, of course, started him with the coolest hanging Spider-Man from Target.  Keith says it kind of looks like Kash with the baby body. Haha. 

   It's feeling a bit like Christmas around The Layton home and my heart couldn't feel more full. I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful family to make these memories with for the rest of my life

      Hope yall had a wonderful holiday!
