The Hunt for the Perfect Christmas Tree!

Lacy and I both grew up having real Christmas trees, so it was at the top of our list to take Baker to a Christmas Tree Farm to find the perfect tree! We found a family owned farm a few miles from our house and the people were so nice. It was not crowed at all and all the trees were beautiful! It was a tough decision! Now..the fun begins! Putting it up and decorating!

Oh Clemson!

Baker was the only thing that made us smile yesterday as we were watching the game!

She needs constant supervision! It really is a full time job!

Her face says it all! She knows she's been caught!

Thanksgiving in Pinopolis!

This year we went to Pinopolis to have Thanksgiving with Lacy's family. It was my 1st Thanksgiving without my family, but we had a wonderful time and delicious meal in Pinolopis. Overall..Baker did well with the 4 hour drive. Since she's learned to walk, it's hard to keep her confined in anything for long.

Baker enjoyed visiting with Ms. Gail, her Bebe's best friend.

Feed me! Baker's favorite dishes were sweet potato casserole, squash, green beans, and turkey. She loves to feed herself. Let's just say the table cloth had a few stains after Baker was finished.

While I was on the phone, Baker decided she would take control of feeding herself! Pure bliss!

Baker's 1st Birthday!

What a wonderful day it was in the Williams' household! Today we celebrated Baker's 1st birthday. It was a day of mixed emotions! I'm so proud that our little one has reached a wonderful milestone in her life, but I'm just a little sad because our baby is growing-up too fast! We had a fun celebration at our house yesterday with our family. We all enjoyed a delicious meal, cupcakes, and watching Baker taking it all in. She knew something big was happening, but unaware it was HER big day!

After the party, Baker took a nap and snuggled with a blanket Grand-Grand made her for her birthday!

Baker woke up from her morning nap to find the kitchen filled with balloons. It was a dream come true for Baker! She LOVES balloons.

Poppi cut each gumdrop to look like a flame for her cupcakes. It took some time!

For decorations I put up pictures of Baker's 1st year throughout the house. I forgot how much she changed!

I never found a birthday banner I liked, so I made my own!

Baker shares her birthday with Uncle T! He turned 21! Baker's giving up the bottle, Uncle T's "turning up the bottle".

Lacy made the arrangements for the tables! I was impressed! After all..I did get a B in Floral Design at Clemson! It was my only B that semester!

Every young Clemson fan needs a rocking tiger instead of a rocking horse!

Guess who's hair line Baker has!

Yummy lasagna! She loves to feed herself and she will shake her head no if she doesn't like something!

The entire family! Well..almost!

Baker and her uncles! This was the only way to get a picture with Baker. She was on the go..ALL DAY!

You know the cake was good when you need a bath!

All clean and ready for a long nap!

Baker's 1st Clemson Football Game!

Last weekend Lacy and I were VERY brave and took Baker to her 1st Clemson football game. It was a day to remember! We can't wait to tell Baker about her 1st time seeing the Tigers play in the POURING rain! When we arrived in the stadium, she was mesmerized by all the people! Who wouldn't be happy to be with 82,000(not quite that much this Saturday) of their closest friends? Her favorite part was screaming and cheering the Tigers on to another victory!

5 minutes later....she was OUT! This lasted for about 1o minutes. We left in the 2nd quarter.

She loved the Tiger, especially the eyes. Mom and I think the Tiger has very freaky eyes!

Lacy and I have really enjoyed this back-pack. She's watching her uncles perform in the before the game.

I think she's talking to God, asking him why it has to rain so much this football season!

Makes Me Laugh!

Mary got some great pictures of Baker this weekend! Here are a few of my favorites! Baker's personality shows more and more each day! We're holding on tight. If you look closely you can see drool coming out the side of her mouth!

Due to all the rain this was Baker's 2nd outfit during tailgating.

A pack-n-play is a must when tailgating!

Little Monkey!

Baker's 1st Halloween was not your typical Halloween. We spent the day/night tailgating at a rainy Clemson football game. It was a yucky day, but very memorable. Sunday was a beautiful fall day, so we had to get Baker in her costume for a few pictures! And..she's off to chase Kota! Baker's a walking machine!

Eating flowers in the backyard...yes..she did throw-up after eating it!

Oh yes...we did put Baker in the tree. We got a few shots before Daddy "came to the rescue".

Yum! Yum!
