Holiday Recap

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Crosby. I tried to appreciate every moment. After all, you only get one first!

Before I get started, I have to give a BIG shout out to my Lochridge Clan family. These people! Love them. Thanks for always being there for me. Through everything. Thanks for loving me. Through everything. Thanks for loving my family. Thanks for loving Crosby. And thanks for what you did to make his Christmas wish come true. Lance and I were truly humbled. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Love you all. So glad I get to do life with each of you. Ya'll mean the world to me.

Love to Robert, Val, Kathleen, Sammy, Lyndli, Karen Jo, Kelly, and Joey. Not pictured but sending thanks to as well: Ricky T, Henry, Trenton, Brian, and Kim.

We had Christmas Eve at Lance's parents. 

Family picture. Crosby is wearing his Cousin Eddie hat. It was evening, so he was feeling very serious!

Sherrie serving dinner. The table was gorgeous.

Lance, Miss Martha and Crosby's Great Grandfather!

Aunt T and Croz! Tara was sweet and  held Crosby while the rest of us ate.

Pops, Daddy and Crosby. 3 generations of Smith men. How handsome are they?

Christmas morning was just us. Crosby was in a great mood. We listened to Christmas music, opened presents, and drank coffee. It was perfect.

Our Stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

Still a little sleepy while seeing what Santa brought.

Lance helped open Crosby's presents.

He got a mobile!

As you can see, he was absolutely thrilled.

Zoe and Lucy got in on the action too.

 Zoe doesn't need help opening her present.

Christmas Day we went to my Mom's to open presents and eat lunch. It was a little bittersweet. Someone was missing.

Marlee, Aunt Sissy, Lance and Crosby getting the presents ready.

Crosby was just hanging out, waiting for his next meal!

Marlee and Nanny are opening their presents.

I didn't get any pics of my Granny, Uncle Randy and Cousin Connor. But they were there too. So glad they were a part of Crosby's first Christmas. 

The rest of the week was spent eating, cuddling, playing, and resting. 

We caught up on naps.

We got to meet our friend Gray! How cute is she? It was fun to watch the babies stare at each other. Gray is 8 weeks older than Crosby. It was good to catch up with Jacob and Heidi too.

So cute!

Gray wanted to touch Crosby! Gimmee!

Aunt Natalie came to spend an evening with us while Lance played poker. We didn't get a picture of her though. But she brought Crozzie his very own Chuck Taylor's! Thanks, Nat. We love you!

New Years Eve was pretty low key. I think we were asleep by 9:30.

Happy New Year!!!

NYE Dinner with the Aclins. Our running buddies. They are pregnant with Crosby's bff due in June!

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2014!!!

Love,
