Hayley and Drew and little Lainey are having themselves a Merry Little Christmas!

 

Emma got all straigh A’s. too!

 How did my girls get so smart! I’m pretty sure they inherited my jeans! Ha ha! Ellie and Emma are so incredibly smart. They are the hardest workers I’ve ever known!  I’m so proud of them.

Keith and I grabbed lunch and went to Athens today to

 We wanted to visit with and give our big kids and grandkids gifts since we’re not seeing them for Christmas this year. We will spend Christmas Eve and day with the girls…

1st stop: Alex, Leah, Piper. 

She was so excited about her gifts and kicked her little feet and clapped her hands. She even crawled up and gave me the sweetest hug that completely melted my heart and then I handed her to Keith and she melted into him for a hug!

2nd stop: Drew, Hayley, and Lainey

She is perfect in every way! She was a little fussy when we got there, but these two parents acted like pro’s. She just needed her mama’s milk and her daddy Drew was so calm and burped and held her until she slept. Then they bundled her up and she slept soundly. So we left so the new parents could nap when she napped. 

Leah and Alex have been a godsend to them, bringing them everything they need for a new baby. Leah’s a NICU nurse and just had a baby girl so she is passing on info and passing down all their favorite things from Piper that she’s outgrown. Then they will pass it back when Alex and Leah’s baby boy is born.

We dropped by Tyler and Emily’s and saw the old truck Emily’s dad gave Tyler. They only had one car, so they are very grateful. We also saw the chicken coup they built and all their chickens and their rooster. We got to meet anll their fur babies. The one Tyler is holding has 6 fingers and toes. He looks like he has mittens on, and he’s so sweet. Emily was cooking collards and chicken when we got there. She is a great cook and makes everything from scratch. They both love their jobs and are doing well! Tyler just got a job at UGA and the benefits are awesome! Emily has been promoted several times and got a huge Christmas bonus!

Keith had his company Christmas party at the aquarium

 

Piper loves her tent!

 

Piper is almost a year old. Such a happy little thing!

 

Drew, Hayley, and Lainey had their first family outing today!

 Lainey had a good nights sleep last night for the first night. Mommy and day are exhausted. Today they hired house cleaners to clean their house and went for a family outing. They went to lunch and then went for a stroll in the park with baby and pups! Look at Lainey and Drew sleeping. They look the same, lol!
