First Christmas Gathering!

We had our first Family Christmas gathering at Grandma Gilreath's yesterday. We had a great time and Mack loved opening his gifts and playing with his new toys! Here are some pictures from our day....

Daddy's Home!

The most exciting part of Mack's day is when Daddy comes home. Mack is for sure a Daddy's boy and is always smiling when Jim is around. They are two of the happiest people I know...

Santa Round 2

Round 2 with Santa did not go as well as the first. One of Aunt Lizzie's friends had Santa come to her house and invited lots of kids to come see him and take pictures. Most of the kids were scared of Santa including cousin Charlotte and Mack. We had high hopes of getting a cute picture of them in Santa's lap but they both screamed at the sight of him.




We took some pics on the couch instead...

No more pictures!

Mack is usually a happy baby unless he is doing something he doesn't want to do, gets this from his Mama I think. Well, he did not want to try to capture that perfect Christmas card picture today like his parent's did. Here is an out-take from the photo shoot.



Also, we have a new address. If you need it to send us a Christmas Card (please do!), email me and I will send it to you...kateloftingilreath@gmail.com

We're Back!

We have been MIA in the blogging world lately. Our computer crashed just a few days before we moved and we are just now getting back online. Mack is gearing up for his first Christmas. He helped us unpack the ornaments for the tree...

And today he went to meet Santa for the first time....

We are so excited about his first Christmas in just a few weeks!

Other things going on in the world of Mack...
-still no teeth but he is drooling like crazy and puts everything in his mouth
-he is learning to use a sippy cup and starting to try to pick up foods on his own
-he is trying so hard to crawl, he wants to so bad but can't seem to get his stomach off the ground
-he hates wearing socks, pulls them off every time I put them on him
-loves to scream and babble all the time, even makes the sound "Da-Da", which Jim loves
