Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas! Andy really "got" it this year. Already showing signs of a true big kid, zip past all clothes and go straight for the toys. We had fun celebrating the season with good friends and lots of family.

Visit my cousins in Macon

Before Christmas, Andy went down to Macon with Pop, Mimi and Kaki to visit his cousins Matthew and Mary Katherine. He had a great time playing with them and all of their awesome big kid toys.

Reese is Baptised

Reese became our little Christian on December 20th at First Presbyterian Church. She did beautifully, only letting out a long sigh when they put the water on her head.

Santa Brunch

We had the annual Santa Brunch with the Dunlap/ Smith and Hamilton/ Henritze families at CCC. Every year we enjoy watching the kids stuff their faces and sing and dance to the carols. The highlight this year was definitely sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what we wanted. Andy wants "toys." Pretty generic, but easy?

Gingerbread workshop

Andy and I took the MARTA down to Capital City downtown and decorated a gingerbread house. Well, Andy decorated a little then figured out that he might as well just eat all the candy. The colored sprinkles were his favorite. Porter and Coco decorated with us!

Molly comes for a visit

The McVeys came for a visit before Christmas. Molly and I are only a few months apart and haven't seen eachother since we were babies. We had a lot of catching up to do!

Andy's First Falcon Game

I had a date with Corinne to my first ever Falcon game. It was a blast--- Go Falcons!

Thanksgiving in Richmond

I know that Thanksgiving was almost 2 months ago, but our dang computer has been broken since then. I have a lot to catch up on!

We went up to Richmond for Thanksgiving week and had a great time with the Madden clan. It was Reese's first airplane ride, and she did wonderfully. We had a great week filled with tons of activities.
