Christmas Part I

We stayed in Georgia for Christmas and celebrated with the Greens. Jack experienced his first Christmas Eve service by adding a burp during "Silent Night". Thank goodness we chose the children's service because his Gigi would have died. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and my sisters captured adorable pictures of Jack for the holidays. We enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner with the extended Green family.

Lauren & Allison watched Jack so Kevin & I could attend a holiday party with friends. Lauren captured these adorable pictures of Jack under my mom's tree.

Holiday photos

Jack & Kevin played along with my crazy pinterest inspired holiday photo shoots. I love this photo below in black & white thanks to Kevin's editing! I should have realized that a teething baby would want to eat the lights.

Enjoy the sweet pictures of Boyd & Jack. They are so active these days and didn't want to sit still for pictures.

Thankful

As we celebrated Thanksgiving this year, I'm very thankful for so much this past year.
Most importantly, I'm grateful for my little turkey and family.

The love, kindness and generosity shown to our family this year constantly reminds me how lucky we are. Our family & friends showered us with love, meals, encouragement and advice over the last months. Our family traveled from Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Boston & Brooklyn to meet the latest member. Every visit was a treasure that we will never forget as we share these stories with Jack. What a lucky little guy to be surrounded by love & laughter.


We spent Thanksgiving in North Carolina with the Lewis family. Jack's Case cousins came for Thanksgiving day for some yummy turkey & dressing.

We had turkey and Jack ate leaves instead.

Jack's new friend

Our friends Walker & Rebecca welcomed a sweet baby girl last week. We were lucky to meet Miss Charlotte and she is adorable and precious. It's hard to believe Jack was ever that small. We are thrilled for Bec & Walker as they embark on this new stage.

 Here's to a new generation of life long friends! It's been an exciting few weeks in our dinner club family with a new baby, a wedding and Baby Thompson coming this spring!

Fall Update

Over the last few weeks, we've enjoyed some quiet weekends at home. Recently, Kevin & I celebrated the wedding of our friends Eric & Kristin. 

We were surprised by a visit from Nick to meet Jack while he's home from UGA.

Jack helped buy food for Etowah's can food drive.

 love this face!

 Jack loves the jumperoo!
