Alabama Trip + Snow/Ice: January 2014

Monday, January 27th, we left LA and headed to Montgomery to spend a couple of days with Matt's parents. Before we met up with them, we went back my Great aunts' apartment so that Mason could meet his Great-Great Aunts Freda and Faye. It was such a sweet sweet time!

They loved on him and they spoiled us. They had a spread of snacks including fruit, crackers and cheese, guacamole etc and some yummy green tea! 

Mason was a fan of their comfy couch

Aunt Faye just talked and talked to the little guy; it was such a special time


Aunt Faye, me, Mason and Aunt Freda (isn't their apartment beautiful!?!)

Add in William. William is Aunt Faye's grandson and my cousin; it was so nice to see him! 

We left the aunts' apartment and headed to Red Robin to have dinner with Matt's parents. It was sooo yummy. Then we headed to their house to sleep! The next morning we were expecting snow. It started out with sleet which immediately turned to ice. Thankfully, we did not have to be anywhere. 

Matt's dad made a yummy cheesecake. We had grilled cheese and soup for lunch and then roasted chicken and veggies for dinner. 

Matt took some pictures of Mason in Grammy's hats (you saw those in a previous post) and we just spent the day chilling out! 


Mason tried on some clothes that were once Matt's. HOW SWEET!?!






Mason got tickled by his PopPop


and then, we took him out for a little snow!! 







I had enough snow so I opted for Cheesecake! :))))

Wednesday was originally the day planned to head back home but roads between Montgomery and Spartanburg were horrible so we stayed put. We were all a little stir crazy, I think! 




Nap time with PopPop

Snuggles with Grammy

Y'all, these guys! My favorites! 


Wednesday night was our last night as we had decided to head back to Spartanburg Thursday morning. We played games and Mason was asleep. Matt tried to move and couldn't Mason was holding on! 

We had a good trip but we were glad to be home!

Sip & See, January 2014

Saturday, January 25th, 2014 was the Sip & See Shower at my friend, Brittany's house. It was such a lovely shower. Unfortunately, many people were sick or had other engagements so it was a very small group. We really enjoyed the morning though.

Britt had everything decorated so beautifully! All of the snacks were delicious! 



Brittany, Mason and me


Aunt Dee Dee and Mason; she did not want to hold him...

And he knew it! Dee is a big fan of babies who can hold themselves up and play etc. Mason was a little too small for her! 

My other mother, Ellen; she loved Mason and he loved her! She has taught me so much about motherhood. It was surreal to see her with my baby! 


Smiling for the ladies! 


The group of everyone; such a sweet time! 

Thank, Brittany for such a great morning. We love you!
