Collins 1st Christmas

Collins 1st Christmas was awesome!

We started our celebration on Saturday in Jackson with "Jackson Family Christmas".  Collins did great in the car.  It was such a special day since the Jackson family was meeting Collins for the 1st time.  It was so awesome seeing the look on DD and Dink's faces when they met Collins.  A priceless memory for sure.

Saturday night we had dinner at Local 463 and stayed at the new Embassy Suites on the Parkway.  

Collins looks so tiny in the big bed!


Happy boy at breakfast the next day.


Dink and DD came to the hotel on Sunday to see Collins one more time before we went to lunch @ Kiefer's and  headed back to Tupelo.

Before Church Collins got a Christmas Bath.  He loves the water and looking at himself in the mirror...




Collins 1st trip to Church was Christmas Eve.  He was so good and slept the whole time.  Since he hasn't had shots I wasn't ready to send him to the nursery.  After church we went to The Vance's for Pizza and Presents!

We had a big Christmas!  Mimi got us a Bob Jogger Stroller.  We are so excited.  Collins tested it out...


She even got us the kit to snap our carseat in until Collins gets bigger!  We can't wait to try it out. 


We went back to The Vance's for Lunch

After a full day of family it was nice to be home with Chad, Collins and Pete.  Here are my babies enjoying some of their presents...


We are so blessed to have a very generous and loving family!  This Christmas was so much fun and I know they will get better and better...
