New Cousin!! James Redding Belk

Welcome to our new cousin, James Redding! He was born in Jackson yesterday, and he is healthy and beautiful! Here are some pictures of the excited big sister, Violet, and the cousins, Quinn and Tyndale. One of my very best friends in the world, Dr. Mary Adams Woodring delivered James Redding, and she and Betsy and Nic together made a great team! Welcome to the world, James...we can't wait to grow up with you!

snow!

We awoke to a surprise this morning....two inches of snow on the ground! Quinn slept in, and I finally woke her up at 8:30 because I couldn't stand it anymore! She was so excited, and we quickly got dressed in warm clothes and went outside to play. We played until her little fingers felt like icicles, then we came in and she got in a warm bath. It continued to snow all morning, and we had about 5 inches by the time it stopped snowing.

The Nutcracker

Kristy, Hadley, Quinn and I went to see the Nutcracker this weekend. The girls loved it! The costumes were darling, and Quinn didn't take her eyes off the stage for the entire first act! They were both so excited to see all the characters and the dancing. Quinn's favorite character was Clara...we even got to meet her! During the intermission, we had cookies, and the first picture was after the sugar rush hit.

making ornaments

Quinn painted some ornaments this weekend for our collection. She chose a reindeer to paint herself, and Mrs. Anna painted her hand to put on a large ball ornament. They were darling!
