Destin Trip

We don't get to visit with Grandmaw, Kerry's mom, much because she lives in Florida and her condo is pretty small. She was so kind and rented a house so we could all come visit and stay together. Kerry's brother, Darren, and his family were also in town so it was great getting to visit with them too! We did a lot of laughing, cooking, taking turns in Grandmaw's power chair, playing games, playing guitars, and of course I took a lot of pictures. It was very special since it will be the last time Grandmaw would get to spend time with Sarah and Jared before they move. We were also thankful Karen and Mark came down for the day and brought the Wii... It was a lot of fun.

Meeting Finley!

I could not go to Birmingham without swinging by Natalie's to meet her 3rd baby... Finley Catherine! I am so thankful they don't live in Vermont anymore! Finley is just precious and I LOVE her hair! Also, they have not seen Anderson since he was like 4 months old so it was fun for Anderson and Tucker to meet. So thankful for the short but sweet time. My picture with me and Natalie didn't turn out :( but she is sending me one soon (I hope!).

Karoline, Anderson, Emma Raines, and Tucker got to play a little...

Barna's Family Christmas Party

We drove to Birmingham to visit with Barna's side of the family. It was obviously a very difficult Christmas for us all and we were so glad we got to spend some time with everyone! Loretta, Barna's sister, was a wonderful hostess as always and we treasured our time with the family! We look forward to this family get together every year.
Barna bought these outfits for the girls after Christmas last year for the girls.
We were so excited it worked out for them to wear them at the same time.
