Benji's Tacky Christmas Party |
They might have taken more than one attempt...
On Wednesday, I headed to Athens for the break. We surprised Sam with a birthday celebration with both sides of the family. Mom made chili and a taco salad bar. Thursday we celebrated Sam's birthday with his friends at their house. Sarah prepared all of Sam's favorite drinks- Transfusions, Old Fashions, and wine! It was so much fun catching up with everyone in town. Friday morning we made Christmas cookies with Amy, Will, and Caroling and then mom hosted her annual Christmas party with the Leonards, Guadagnos, and Averys. We ended the night singing Christmas carols by the piano!

Monday after Christmas Sarah, Mom, Grandma Val, and I headed to Kentucky to visit Mammer Jane and Bumpa and to drop Grandma Val off at Uncle Stevie's. It was so nice relaxing and spending time with family.
While we were there, we found out our childhood dog was sick and was quickly declining. Mom, Sarah, and I decided to start driving back to Georgia late Wednesday night to get back to see her. We stopped in Knoxville for the night and woke up early to finish the trip. We got back just in time to say our goodbyes to our sweet Millie girl before having to put her down. We were so grateful she held on for our return and that she was able to go peacefully. She is greatly missed everyday!!
I headed back to Atlanta Friday morning to get ready for my trip to Dallas to visit Bianca and Caroline for New Years Eve! It was the perfect getaway trip to close 2016! Friday night we went to dinner and a rooftop bar in Deep Ellum. Saturday we spent the day watching football at my favorite place- Katy Trail Ice House! Then we got ready and went to our NYE event in lower Greenville.
While there were some high highs and low lows of 2016, we welcomed 2017with open arms! Bring on a new year of adventure, change, and excitement!
