Christmas Trip

Despite this...


We headed here...


And finally got to meet...

LAINEY!

Thursday after the funeral & our quick stop in Auburn, we met TJ's family at a lake house. We came hear last year and it was so great. This year we enjoyed the new addition, Lainey! Last year we were praying for her, this year she was with us! What a blessing! She is just precious and I love taking pictures of her :)

We had a great time filled with wonderful meals, movies, playing in the game room, laughing, sleeping/ napping, wearing pajamas, drinking hot chocolate & cyder, and opening gifts. The most popular was probably the girls tu-tu's which TJ proudly modeled Lainey's for everyone on his head (picture below)! We were thankful for this short, but wonderful time with Sarah, Jared, Elle, & Lainey! Gigi and PopPop got to follow us back to South Carolina for CHRISTMAS!






















Saturday morning we drove to Birmingham for Barna's extended family Christmas party at Aunt Loretta's house! It was great to see everyone and the food was yummy, of course! We were thankful that it worked out that we could come again this year... then we got in the car and drove 8 hours back home! The trip went well and we are now home and getting ready for Christmas Day!







** There are a few more posts below** I think I'm all caught up now!

Cute! Lainey looks just like Tj's dad! So fun to be able to see all the family and spread out the celebrating!
