crew's first christmas + a video

Yes, I realize it's been 3 weeks since Christmas, but this mama has been busy with going back to work. (booo)

We loved every second with Crew this past Christmas. We went to our church for Christmas Eve, spent Christmas day with my side of the family and Christmas night with Will's side. I know Crew was worn out, but he did so well.

Who can resist a baby in a Santa outfit?!

Our Christmas card this year

and a short video of the few clips I got this holiday...

I can't imagine how different next Christmas will be when Crewboo can walk and open gifts!

We're Famous (+ a video)

So, in case you didn't know, we're famous. I mean, who wouldn't be after being in the background on "Big Food" for 3 seconds? Since I'm sure you're so eager to go check this out for yourself, I'll give you the link righhhht here.

See us?

You might not care or you might be asking, "Gee, Courtney, why were you on TV?" Well, thank you for asking. I'll fill you in. It starts with a back story first.
One year ago yesterday, my middle brother left for Basic training with the Army. (Woohoo! Go Cody!) Ok, now fast forward 5 months and we're at his graduation at Fort Benning. (Although, I don't think there was anything fast about it for Cody.)
While we waited for the graduation to start, we look over and see this massive truck pulling this massive tank. Only it wasn't a real tank, it was a life-size tank made of cake. Yes, delicious strawberry shortcake. There was a camera crew there (see below) that was filming for this new show called "Big Food" on CMT. And that's that. The story of how we became famous. Exciting, huh?

Here are the masses flocking to the giant cake.

Cody is the taller one in the front row behind the flag guy. (in the right line) Oh and the guy who yells at the end always makes me laugh.

Yep, I enjoyed that cake.

So, all in all, I write this post to say I am so proud of both of my brothers!
