Happy New Year!

Happy 2012!!

Since my last post in October we've had tons going on!!

The holidays gave us some much needed family time with the passing of both of my grandmothers, my mother's mom in September and my dad's mom in December. We all miss them both very much but are truly blessed to have known both of them and have each of them to meet both Jackson and Reid.

Thanksgiving was celebrated here in Charleston with Rusty's family with a large group of family and as always- way too much yummy food. I dealt with laryngitis during the month of November that finally cleared up after 5 weeks- whew that was awful!! Jackson had a blast chasing all of his cousins and trying all the Thanksgiving food traditions. Then in December as we said goodbye to Grannie Davis we all were able to stay at my parents house for 5 days during the Christmas season. Jackson and Reid had a BLAST!! Reid is 4-months older than Jackson, so it is great that they are so close in age to play play play!!! Gi Gi ( my mom) and Pop Pop ( my dad) had a tree set up just for the kids so they could play with the ornaments and Santa's elves left a present under their tree every morning until Christmas day. So much fun!!

Jackson continues to grow like a weed and is babbling up a storm - all in his own language still, but super cute. It amazes me the things he is picking up and starting to share. He knows where his eyes, ears, belly button ( thanks to grandpa Calvin), head, and feet all are. Just this last week he was moved into the next level class and now sits at a table to eat. Such a BIG BOY!!!

Here are some pictures we had taken over Christmas!
