On our way back to Pensacola, we stopped in Baton Rouge so that Riley could meet some of our dearest friends (Amy...holding him, Michelle, Jared, Mrs. Cathy, Angel, Mollie and Laurel)! We had fun visiting at Jason's Deli! Riley pretty much slept through the whole thing! Oh well!
We celebrated Edmond's birthday while we were in Pineville (and again in Pensacola)! Here Riley's Fontenot cousins help Edmond with the candles on his cake. Edmond turned 28 this year...just a baby himself!
Potts and Riley had some good bonding time! Here they were "talking" about those LSU Tigers....are they going to win their bowl game! We are a little nervous!
Here is Riley on Christmas Day! He was enjoying all of the hustle and bustle at Mimi and Potts' house! He really had a great first Christmas!
We have a tradition in our family....on Christmas Eve morning, we go to McDonalds for breakfast and the kids get to play in the play area. This year, Karleigh, Clark, and Brody (Riley's Fontenot cousins) surprised him with early Christmas gifts (Curious George, a stuffed bunny, and a Bible). They went "shopping" for him in their rooms and then wrapped the gifts for him to open. They had alot of fun and insisted that he take them home!
On our way home to Pineville for Christmas, we stopped in Covington for a short visit with Julie and Aiden. They seemed to enjoy getting to know each other. We wish that we lived closer to them, but these short visits will have to do for now!
