Collins Baptism

On Sunday Collins was Baptized.  We are so blessed to have so many family and friends come celebrate this exciting occasion.  He was Baptized at the 8:30 am service with a Brunch following the service at Mom and Dad's.  Collins was such a good baby.  He didn't cry at all during the service.  He flenched when the water hit his head but never made a noise.  I am so proud of him.  This is a day we will never forget.

Collins 1st Christmas

Collins 1st Christmas was awesome!

We started our celebration on Saturday in Jackson with "Jackson Family Christmas".  Collins did great in the car.  It was such a special day since the Jackson family was meeting Collins for the 1st time.  It was so awesome seeing the look on DD and Dink's faces when they met Collins.  A priceless memory for sure.

Before Church Collins got a Christmas Bath.  He loves the water and looking at himself in the mirror...




Collins 1st trip to Church was Christmas Eve.  He was so good and slept the whole time.  Since he hasn't had shots I wasn't ready to send him to the nursery.  After church we went to The Vance's for Pizza and Presents!

We had a big Christmas!  Mimi got us a Bob Jogger Stroller.  We are so excited.  Collins tested it out...


She even got us the kit to snap our carseat in until Collins gets bigger!  We can't wait to try it out. 


We went back to The Vance's for Lunch
