Happy New Year!

Yeah, yeah, I know, this is a little late! Better late than never, right? Our good friends Adam and Elizabeth invited us to their home in Suwanee to hang out on New Year's Eve. It wasn't the typical NYE that we have spent with them in the past but it was a lot of fun! We even got to take Reed along for the fun. We ate yummy food and had a great time playing rock band. I still haven't figured out the instruments yet but at least I was able to provide some vocals for our all girls band.

Reed relaxing a little bit with Chris.

Kevin and Rachel , who is expecting a new friend for Reed in April!

We are rock stars, enough said! LOL!

The boys got a little more into it than we did!

Very interested in the playing of Rock Band. He thinks he will be best at the drums!

Happy New Year from.....

And the three of us!

While last year was an incredibly exciting year for us, I know that it is going to just get better and better this year! We can't wait!

Let it snow!

While the snow coming down tonight in Atlanta isn't anything near what we experienced in Boston, we had to take Reed outside to check out his first snowfall ever.

I think Reed was a little overdressed for the snow, lol, but we needed a good excuse to put on his snowsuit! Too cute!

"Wow, I like this stuff!"

Sweet pic with Daddy

Santa drops off gifts for Reed

Santa dropped by my parents house on Christmas Eve with lots of goodies for Reed. Check out his awesome toys below. Of course he is probably a little small to play with most of them right now, but I am sure Santa was just thinking ahead and wanting Reed to have toys to play with for quite a while!

Riding his horse for the first time with Daddy's help.

Trying the horse out again! Yee-haw!

A Merry Little Christmas

Reed spent his first Christmas in Summerville surrounded by lots of family! We attended party after party with Reed and he was such a pro. He never once made a peep about being passed from one person to another. This kid definitely has a lot of people who love him and we are so grateful for that! He kinda sorta paid attention to his gifts. I think everyone around him enjoyed it more than he did. I think next year will be much more fun for him! He did get a good taste of all of his gifts though.

Christmas at Grandmother and Granddaddy's

Grandmother and Granddaddy

We enjoyed our annual Christmas party dinner of barbecue, shrimp and my Grandmother's homeade blue cheese dressing with salad. I know it isn't your normal dinner, but we love it and I look forward to it every year! I can't wait until Reed is able to eat this meal with us!

Marin, Reed, Marc and Kallan (Notice that Reed has on his pj's. This was due to an accident that he had earlier in the day. Ugh! This has started happening more frequently these days!)

Christmas at Mike Mike and Kath's

There are so many kids on Chris's side of the family that Christmas is never dull at their house. It is so much fun to watch all the kids rip into their gifts. We can't wait until Reed is in the middle of all of them next year.

Christmas with Nana and Granddaddy

This was an especially special Christmas with my parents. This year was the first time that they had had a baby in the house since Marc was a baby. I have to admit that Christmas is that much more fun with a baby! I know that my parents loved having our new addition to the Christmas party this year!

My mom got this super cute bag from Pottery Barn with Reed's name on it. They just stuffed all his toys in it. So cute!

Reed in his snowsuit. We had planned to go to Lake Tahoe so that Reed could play in the snow, but that fell through. We are going to have to find him some snow sometime soon because he absolutely loved his snowsuit.
