Capturing Christmas Part 4: Routh Family

Every year we head up to NC to celebrate Christmas with Mikey's mom's family. We typically get together the Saturday before Christmas, which is perfect for us. We don't get to see them too often, so it is always a nice time catching up and watching the kids play together. Mikey's grandfather turned NINETY in May and has SIX great-grand kids with one more on the way.  Mikey's sister and her whole family can't always make it since they live in Florida, but this year she and the kids were able to come (we missed Uncle Vic!) and it added to the FUN and CHAOS of the season...lots of little kiddos to love on:-)

All the great grand kids...except Shane.  He's the oldest and just turned 21!!! WOW!  We missed him this year.
Loves presents.
pretty baby.  (yeah...I'm allowed to be biased on my own blog, right!?!)
This year, we also had a little mini Christmas celebration with just Mimi (Mikey's mom) and her kids and grand kids at our house on the Sunday night before Christmas.  It was super low key, we had after all just been in NC the day before and Mikey and I celebrated with my dad's family on Sunday (day)! Whew.  Makes me tired just thinking about it.  Mimi picked up lasagna for everyone from Olive Garden and we enjoyed each others company and enjoyed watching the little ones open gifts.

C was fascinated with her stride-to-ride puppy Mimi got her.

Hey, Hay!!
So much Christmas goodness.  It was such a fabulous holiday season.

xoxo.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
