The Bigham Bunch

Happy New Year to all of you bloggers! Our New Year's eve was pretty low key, we had a couple of friends over and just watched football, ate, visited, and the kids played. The Bigham's 2010 was pretty exciting! Flint got a new job, I had hernia surgery, Justin graduated, started college and playing college baseball, Lexi had ACL surgery and started driving, Braughn turned 13 and started playing junior high sports, Hailey started loosing her teeth and started 1st grade, and Berklie turned 2 and also had surgery for her staph infection! We also went on our family vacation to Walt Disney World with Flint's side of the family, dad and Flint's football teams made it to the playoffs, and Berklie was potty trained by her 2nd bday and off her paci about two weeks later! Ton of things going on and we had a blessed year in 2010. We hope that many blessings come to you and your families in 2011! Happy New Year!

Yes...she was still up to ring in the New Year!

Happy New Year!

Well, Christmas has come, gone, and will be back again in no time at all! The Bigham Bunch had a busy and fun filled Christmas Break! First, we headed off to Mimi and Papa's house to celebrated with my huge side of the family! I swear it gets bigger every year, but heck...the more the merrier! We all had a blast and the kids got to play as we all enjoyed watching them. Next stop was the candle light service at church, then to Grandma and Grandpa's house to have Christmas with Flint's brother and his family. Next morning....SANTA and toys, then back to Grandpa and Grandma's house for Christmas lunch, snacking, and dinner. I am truly thankful for all of my family! The Christmas season just helps remind me, how blessed and thankful I am! Merry Christmas and Happy New year to everyone! There are a ton of pics, so enjoy!

She loves it! Carries it everywhere!

Big girl panties from mimi and papa.

So sweet! Mom and Dad got her this baby doll, she opened it and went over and started rocking it and patting it's back.

The whole gang! It was packed!

At school my kids run a print shop. We can make posters, copies, bumper stickers, decals, and plaques, so my kids made dad a plaque for getting the Dogwood Circle Coach of the Year this year! This is dad opening it.

I got mom a picture frame that had sweet stuff about grandmothers, daughters and grand daughters and put pics of us in there. I think she liked it....it was really cute and special.

All of us kids went in and got mom and dad a Keurig coffee pot and Wolfgang Puck cookware.

Bitty Girl on the dump truck.

Sweet girl, Sofi, all bundled up!

Just retrieved the helicopter from the neighbors back yard.

Going to have another go around.

i love this pic! No...those aren't her teeth...she has a marshmallow in her mouth! Too funny!

Riding her stick horse.

Got tired of the stick horse and decided daddy's leg was more fun.

Love it!

Leaving cookies for Santa.

Oh so proud of doing this all by themselves.

The letter that they signed and left for Santa.

This is Flint attempting to get Berklie interested in the morning festivities....

This is what Berklie thought about that...

This is all of the kids trying to get her up so that they can all open presents.

We even tried getting her big present from Santa out to get her more interested....

Finally...about 10 minutes later she decides she likes her Rocking horse.

Yes...her horse has ribbons and flowers. On Christmas Eve I asked her again what she wanted Santa to bring her....she stuck with the rocking horse, but out of no where said...
"A pink one with ribbons and petals on it."
What???? Are you kidding me kid?!?!?! Where does she come up with this stuff?!?!?! All I can say is thank goodness for dollar tree on Christmas Eve and Flint convincing her that brown horses were prettier than pink ones!

Opening her Yo Gabba Gabba "Foofa" hipity hop that Santa brought her.

Everyone opening Santa.
He brought Hailey - Moxie Dolls and a wii Just Dance Game.
Braughn - an XBox game and cologne.
Lexi - Jeans, a top, and perfume.
Justin - A Keurig Coffee Pot and coffee

As you can tell....the Bigham kids were not hurting for any gifts!

Looking through her Mickey Mouse learning book.

Hailey got a make up kit from Flint and I, so she thought Berklie needed some makeup.

Of course, Berklie had no objection to that!
I love this face!

Berklie on her rocking horse from Santa.
She got the ballet leotard from us, and right when she opened it she had to put it on!
So cute!

Done with Santa, now opening gifts from us.

Braughn playing on his ipod touch and wearing the coat we got him.

LOL!!! This is an awful picture.....she looks like a crazy girl!
She is trying to pose to show me her lipstick and eyeshadow that Hailey put on her.

Attempting to eat dinner.

Funny story....we have this exact same singing dog at our house, I just didn't bring it out this year because Berklie was scared of it last year. Well, my mother in law also has one and the kids got it out on Christmas Day...needless to say...Berklie is STILL terrified of the thing! She was sitting with me and it was on the shelf beside us and she pressed it's ear....she then FREAKED OUT! Literally she was hysterical! This is Flint and Justin about ten minuets later trying to get her to play with it.
