Karlie's Wedding in Savannah, GA

Karlie's Wedding!!!!

My cousin, Karlie, was married this past weekend in Savannah, GA.  Marlee and I were in the wedding, so our entire family made the trip for her big day!  Being so close to Christmas we knew we could only stay for the weekend, so that meant we wouldn't be able to see and enjoy much of the city.  We got a small taste and can't wait to go back to see and experience more.  It was soooooo cold, especially for us Florida natives.  We stayed busy every minute with wedding preparations, so I didn't take many pictures.  Here are a few I did get, quality not that great, but will have to do.


Our Friday night began with rehearsal at this adorable, old, church.  The church held maybe 100 people, built many many years ago and is now used at a boarding school.  It was picture perfect for her wedding.

Next, was dinner at, Boar's Head Tavern, on the river.  Great place with great food!  We had a good time hanging with our family and Adam's family!

 Thankfully, MeMaw was there to sing our sweet baby to sleep.  It was precious!

And.... when MeMaw's arms were tired, she got to sleep on Papa's shoulder.  

Cousins..... we grew up together, living only 2 houses away.  We played together almost everyday and sometimes spent the night together too.  I love these girls with all my heart!

 It's wedding day!!!  I hope to get more pictures from other people, my time and hands were consumed with this little beauty!

I couldn't leave my handsome little man out, he was a great sport the entire day!

It was a GREAT weekend, I am so thankful that we were able to share in this special day with Karlie and Adam!  Can't wait to visit them again soon!

Christmas Continues in the Goodman house......

Christmas continues in our house.  It is such a fun time of year, although it seems to get busier every year!  Here are a few more pictures of what has been happening in our lives the past week.

Lee came home one evening and took us all to see Christmas lights!  This is the first year that Marlee really enjoyed them!

Zeke went to school!  The Tuesday before school got out for Christmas vacation, lots of elves went to school.  The kids walked in to see their elf somewhere in the classroom, with a name tag on.  Because we all know that the elves all look the same, but the kids don't seem to mind that at all.  

When Zeke went to school, he sat on Santa's lap all day long.  

This mommy is no artist, but I saw these on Pinterest and wanted so badly to give them a try.  The kids and I sat down one evening and mixed the salt dough, by the recipe.  I traced their hands on a piece of paper first and used that to cut out the dough.  They aren't exactly like the picture, but turned pretty well, I thought!  This serves as a great reminder in the years to come of our babies hands in the year 2012!

 I know next year to make them thinner, Trey's hand needed more than one branch to hold it up!  OOOPS.... didn't think about that ahead of time!

Oh my Goodness!!! Zeke is a gator fan too!  Trey go a big kick out of this one!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the "bouncing" begins for our family.  We have so many people to see and we try our best to make it to everyone's house.  Keeps us very busy, however, what a blessing it is to have such large families on both sides!
