Merry Christmas

This has not been a great week for us so far. Max was sick, sick (if you know what I mean) for the first time on Friday. It was not a first we welcomed that is for sure! He was sick until we went to the dr. on Saturday morning. What is it about a dr.'s waiting room that will cure a kid SUPER fast! He ran around that place like a WILD man!! Well, between sick Max and a dr.'s office full of germs, I got sick first thing Sunday morning. I'll say it again, this has not been fun. My wonderful mother-in-law picked up Max on Monday and took him to stay the night with her while I rested. I can't tell you how much better I felt having rest in a QUIET house. THANK YOU SHUGAH!! Some of my symptoms are still lingering but I'm definitely on the up and up. Please say a prayer that I've fully recovered by tomorrow and NO ONE else gets sick.

So Max has received some presents. My sister and Mike sent him a fun little toy that he really loves! However, she sent a missing piece from one of his toys that was left in FL and he was definitely most excited about that missing monkey. It was priceless how his face lit up!! My mom, Allen and brother sent him a farm. I know he is going to play with it FOREVER (well maybe not forever, forever - it might be weird if he was still playing with it as a teen)!! But again, his favorite part sadly was not the present. This time it was the box and the packing peanuts. I'll let the pictures and video do the talking!!

He was COMPLETELY worn out from all the fun with the box that he decided to take a rest IN the box. Apparently packing peanuts are very cushy!

He was so comfortable, he even watched elmo in the box - chairs are SO overrated.




Here is a video of him DIVING into the box - remember you have to go the blog to see the video.

Unfortunately, I have not received my Christmas photos in the mail yet, so my Christmas cards have not been sent. This year, it is definitely the thought that counts!! We hope that you all have a Merry Christmas and safe travels.

Blessings - Tabitha, Kelly and Max

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!

Max finally went to see Santa. I was SO surprised at how well he did . I thought he would resist and pitch a fit, but he did just fine. It might have had something to do with the candy cane Santa offered to him (give that kid some candy and he'll do anything - again he really is Kelly's son).

Because he didn't have his list ready, he just took some of his favorite toys with him to visit Santa to give Santa an idea of what he'd like for Christmas. This isn't my favorite picture of Max (who am I kiddin' I LOVE every picture of my baby!!) He kind of looks in pain - he was saying cheese! (I can't complain b/c that is what the lady told him to do - HA!)

I hope to get my Christmas cards out today (or tomorrow) - hope being the key word. Wish me luck!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!! LOVE and BIG giant HUGS from the McNultys!!!

21 Months old and MORE FIRSTS!?!

We hope that you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. So many pictures were taken at Thanksgiving but not by me - BOOO!! I can't wait for my aunt Gayle, Molly, Sugah and EVERYONE else with photos to email them to me so I can share them with you all! This Thanksgiving was SO FULL!! It was AWESOME!! (Well, minus the Hog loss!) We are so so so blessed. I love getting together with family. And Max was SOOOOO good. He was really good at Sugah's and Pop's. I was so proud at how well he played with his cousins - no pushing, hair pulling or any other shanigans that required a time-out!! YAY!!! He got a little overwhelmed with my family but I think it is just because there are SOOOOOOO many of us. He was a little clingy to me. By the end of his visit with my sister - he was COMPLETELY smitten with her. As she was trying to leave, he kept grabbing her leg and crying Sa-ra, Sa-ra. He was just BEGGING her not to leave. It was precious. Just the other day he saw her picture at home and was carrying the frame with him, pointing at her saying, Sa-ra. I told him to stop doing something and he ran to the picture just calling her name - I guess thinking she would help him. IT was SOOO funny!!

Max is really entering the twos. One of his new words is Mine. I really dislike that word, but we are working on it. He LOVES to sing. It is the SWEETEST thing I've EVER heard. I HAVE to get a video of him singing the wheels on the bus. It is PRECIOUS! Max really does have a soft, sweet little voice. I LOVE it!! He got a golf cart from my mom and family. The battery isn't working but he doesn't care. He is on that golf cart ALL the time!! He'll even push it to where he wants it to go. He eats on it, drinks on it, plays on it - EVERYTHING! It really is TOO cute! He is still growing like a weed. He is wearing some 3ts now!?! Where is my baby going?!

We finally took Max to his first Razorback game. My dad came to town and we took Max to the Mississippi State game in LR. (Of course my dad was wearing a bright LSU shirt - Kelly's seats were across the stadium from us and he texted me during the game to tell me he could see us b/c of my dad's shirt.) We were only actually in the game for about 10 minutes. Max was really good but he kept bumping into the lady in front of us and it was VERY obvious that she didn't appreciate it. So, we just decided we should go. I don't think he really cared but he did call the hogs. It was SO cute. I'm glad he finally went to a game!!
Well enough talking - here are just a few pictures:

We give Max the phone all the time to talk but he NEVER talks - he just wants to push buttons. Here is the FIRST time he actually TALKED on the phone. It was so cute!

Ridin' the 4-wheeler with his dad - he LOVED it!!

We hope that you all have a MAXnificent week and had a BLESSED Thanksgiving. Love and hugs!!
