We did it!!

Clemson WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!  I think all Tiger fans across the country will be relishing in this win for a long, long time.  What a game!  What a team!  The heart and brains of Dabo Swinney and the love he instills in his players are what I think WON this game.  They believe in themselves and they did it!!  Barrett and I went to Tampa and had the best time!!  We had to leave the boys with 2 different sitters, which was a little nerve-wracking, but they did awesome - as did the boys!!

I have sat through A LOT of games and to get to see us WIN the National Championship, beating the mighty Alabama, was just incredible!  We sat with my parents, my brother and his wife, Ashley which was just so special.  My parents brought us up being the best little Tigers, and I have continued to be all of my years.  This Tiger Family was ecstatic and getting to experience it together was awesome.  I'll never forgot the look on my dad's face when Hunter Renfrow caught DeShaun's Watson's pass with a second to go to then win 35-31!

Christmas at my Grandparents

We are so lucky that we are able to gather every Christmas late afternoon/night at my grandparents house with all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, parents and siblings.  I think the total number this year was 29!  So special to get together with all of these people and it's so fun to see how the group grows each year.  We had 3 baby boys born since Christmas 2015.  I had Jack in January of course, Joan had Simms in Sept and Catherine had Rawlins in November.  We are so, so blessed!

First pic we took was of the three 2016 babies.  Jack was fine sitting over the little babies until one started crying and then he LOST IT!  Poor baby!

Once we got over there, we got a few pics with all of the great-grands!  There are 9 now, ranging in age from 4 years old to about 7 weeks at the time of Chrism

Here is our pic of everyone there.  So sad the photographer wasn't great with the camera - we should have taken one on an iPhone! :(
