Grady's first peaches

the traveling Christmas

 Our Christmas was wonderful, but a little crazy this year.  We racked up about 1500 miles of driving over 8 days, staying at 5 different houses!  Oh and did I mention, we have 3 kids under 5!  It was so worth it though.  We loved seeing all of our family!  Here are just a few pictures from the festivities...

 Merry Christmas from Jackson....

*highlights of our family Christmas included Daddy getting a drill and Greer getting about 36 mini NFL helmets (which are super fun keeping up with:-)) and marbles.  Brecken liked the chocolate in her stocking best, of course.  And Mama scored some beautiful new earings!  The kids actually slept in to about 6:30am, which was amazing.  We made pancakes and enjoyed the morning before getting in the car and starting our journey north.

Nashville...

we stuffed our faces a lot on the trip:)

Grady got lots of love!

it's hard to see how packed the car was, but it was ridiculous!

Grady, you are a sweet, smiley, laid-back baby who loves to be held and talked to.  You have been giving mama a little bit of a hard time lately, deciding you want to eat in the middle of the night.  Our little pow-wows at 3am are great fun but I'll be ok if you want to sleep.  You have started teething!  We bought you a girraffe teether that you love to chew on.  Thankfully no teeth yet but I have a feeling they will be here sooner than later.
