Christmas y Mas-Part Three-High School Reunion

After Christmas #2, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa Haddock's just in time to pick up my friend Jenny and her baby Violet from the airport. We had a little reunion New Year's party at my folks' house with our other best friend Mandy, and her her two kids, Madeline and Lola. It was really fun to meet each others' kids after talking about them (and mothering in general) over the phone for the last few years!

Grandpa and Fern. I love this one.

Mandy and Lola. How sweet :).

Madeline. She was extremely energetic when outside! I think this is the only time she looked at me and it was only for half a second.

Sling mama.

Lola is trying to keep up with her big sister.

Madeline is recoiling from the splash caused a big rock she threw.

Baby Violet on the move. I loved her little waddle!

After our first Christmas celebration on the farm, we headed back to the Hambricks for a second Christmas. This time, Allen's sister Margaret and our nephew Emory joined us.

How cute is this?
