Couples Lake Trip
Every year we go on a couples trip to Center Hill Lake with my best friends and roommates from college along with their husbands. We choose November because its the perfect time to sit on the screened in porch with a blanket, fire, and just talk for hours. We often don't get out of our pj's until almost dinner time on Saturday. I cherish these 4 girls and their friendships. We have been friends through the good, bad, and ugly. We have stood beside each other at our weddings, held hands as we said goodbye to Forrest, prayed and loved deeply as we prayed for a miracle for Hines, prayed and hoped for babies for each other, and so much more. God has been faithful through our friendship and I am so thankful to spend a weekend together every Fall.

Maggie's 1st birthday
Maggie turned 1 on December 27th.
She started the day with her favorite food...scrambled eggs.
She became so messy that she had to take a bath. She had eggs everywhere.
I love this next picture...pure joy!
We gave Maggie her chair before all the festivities started. She was a little unsure about it but quickly realized how much fun it is to crawl in and out of it.
We had our family and Maggie's bff's over for dinner and cake. Lynn Knox made Maggie's cake. We use Lynn for all our cakes. They taste amazing and are also very cute. The cupcake on the top was Maggie's smash cake.
Maggie's BFF's, Mary Kate and Sally. Love that these 3 are going to grow up so close.
Mary Kate and Sally were big fans of Matt's bulldogs...especially Deliah. MK would literally squeal when she saw her. Deliah does look like a pot belly pig so I understand why she thought she was so funny.
We tried to get a picture of the 3 girls together.
We also did some family shots.
And some best friends shots.
Both brothers took pictures with the kids as well.
After all the picture taking we ate pasta for dinner and then enjoyed the cake.
You can see on Maggie's face that she enjoyed the lasagna.
She wasn't sure what to do with the cupcake when she first got it but figured it out pretty quickly.
After we finished the cake Maggie opened some birthday gifts.
The next morning we took all 3 kids to Gibson's to continue the celebration. She loved her donut!
Such a fun time celebrating my baby girl turning 1. Truly so thankful for her!
