Christmas at Poppy and Enna's -- Take 4



Uncle Trae still has a pretty large hole in his stomach from his surgery, so he's a little weary of holding Mr. Wiggle Worm.

Reed has been very concerned about Uncle Trae. He keeps crawling over to the sofa and looking at him.



Uncle Bobby and Joshi got to the house early this morning. Uncle Bobby had to drop Aunt Aly off at work and they came on. Abbey and I weren't even out of bed yet!



Uncle Baby Hog, I mean Uncle Bobby, was eager to get his hands on Reed. Reed was about as interested in Joshi as he is any babies. I can't wait until they are old enough to play with each other.



Joshi was pretty interested in staring at her big cousin (7 months her senior).

They had a great day of being together.



When Aunt Aly got off work, she was ready to hold her baby girl. Joshi is such a sweet little girl, and so cute I can see why Aunt Aly was ready to see her daughter.



Here's another picture of Uncle Bobby, once again holding Reed. It's a good thing that Reed doesn't get tired of being passed around. He's such a great little guy.



Reed, his Aunt, and his cousin were having a blast.



Uncle Trae was feeling a bit more brave and let Reed sit on the sofa armrest. They were having fun together.



Aunt Aly was stealing sweet Reed kisses.



Enna had to fight to get her hands on Reed today. There were many hands to hold only two babies today!



The typical picture of "Uncle Baby Hog."



Aunt Aly was having a lot of fun holding baby.



I love being an Uncle. My sweet little neice Joshi is so cool. I can't wait until she is big enough to come and spend a week with us in Nashvegas. Of course, Aunt Abbey and Uncle Jeff think that all of our family members should move to Nashvegas. It would be so great to have all of them near us.



Uncle Bobby is a huge MSU Bulldog fan, and he is really looking forward to their bowl game tomorrow. He is desperate to make Reed a Bulldog fan. Abbey and I always say he is going to be a Choctaw fan after the private college we went too. Mississippi College isn't an SEC team, so nobody really knows who they are. We loved our school though.



We opened gifts tonight with my side of the family. Reed was upset when he saw that Joshi had gotten his beloved Aquarium for that he has on his bed. Like the book last night, he didn't realize that there can be more than one of something.



We had a special treat tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Creel came for a visit. Mrs. Creel was our music teacher in Elementary and High School and a very dear friend of ours. We were so glad to get to see her.



Bobby and Aly had never gotten to see our pictures of Reed's birthfamily. They were very interested, although I think Uncle Trae thought that we were getting a little close!

    I hope Uncle Trae gets better soon. Surgery is an icky thing...

    I concur with Melanie! Uncle Steve and I loved Reed's choice of hat attire! It looked like you all had a great Christmas and lots of spoiling two precious babies!! It was great to see Trae smiling, also! We have been so concerned about him and just continue to pray for his good health.
    Happy New Year to you all!
    Love, Aunt Jean
