Christmas and New Years

It was a fun Christmas this year with all the activities and how much fun the kids had. We had Carrie's work party this year which had good food a little dancing. I took Hadden and Spencer to open gifts with my parents and jena paul a few days before christmas. It was a quick trip but we enjoyed it and the both hadden and spencer enjoyed opening gifts and seeing nini and papa and the twins. Christmas Eve morning breakfast a Crackerbarrel kicked off at 7:00 and has been a Hulan family tradtion for close to 30 years. Christmas eve was spent with the cousins playing at Carrie's parents place - a farm with a lost of room to play and roam. they spent a lot of the time jumping on hay bails in the barn..that night we go to the Bon Aqua hoe down to eat dinner. This owend by Flo (carrie's mom) older brother and it is a gathering spot for Carrie's moms side of the family for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Christmas morning back here was a blast. The kids let it slip that they got up at 3:01 AM and came out and peaked at their presents but that didn't ruin a few surprises.
hadden - electric air soft gun, basketball shoes, baseball bat, Wii game, smelly markers, shocker pen, Alabama sweatshirt, spy car, electric blanket
Spencer - electic scooter, bayblades, basketball shoes, castle, smelly makers, wii game, remote control bayblade, electric mattress pads, waki talkis, wall tracks for mtach box cars.
Nash - a bunch of blocks and things he can push open with his hands

Christmas morning we go to Carrie's parents to open gifts with Carries sisters and parents and then went to Carrie's Aunt Becky's for lunch with kenny's side of the family.

Right after Christmas Hadden had his tonsils out. That was a bit harder recovery than anticipated with him up every 3-4 hours for the first 7-10 days. He is doing better now.

New Years eve we went to some neighbors for party. Everyone brought appetizers and there was a karoke machine - Carrie was not impressed with my performances - she has video of me singing but hopefully that will never surface.....

I am helping coach Hadden and spencers basketball teams.
Hadden is playing point guard and his team is off to a 4-0 start.
Spencer is playing as well and they are 4-0 too. A funny story about Spencer- his first game he took the ball to start the 3rd quarter and went the wrong way and scored for the other team. the final score as 15-3. Yes spencer in his first game was the hi point man for the other team. The game this past Saturday he scored 8 points for his team and they won 28-5. I am proud of how both kids are donig. they both seem to really enjoy it and carrie and I enjoy watching and being involved.

Nash turns 6 months today and he is first tooth is in. he is really vocal and sitting up on his own for the past month or so. he is really intereted in whatever his brothers are doing and can spend a lot of time just watching them play.

I am off to New Orleans today to go watch Bama play LSU in the National Championship game. i can't wait. ROLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE ROLL.
