An annual tradition

As always our ringing in the new year was super special! We were able to celebrate with Don's entire family! That seldom happens when everyone could be there at the same time... this year it did. Madeleine and Owen were even in town from college. That still is hard to believe to me that they are in college. 



The cousins were all so cute together. Juliette was thrilled to be with all of them. 


Mima and Grandpa and all of their grandchildren. 



The weekend began in a most special way! I got word that one of my closest and dearest friends from Wofford had just moved from NYC and relocated to Beaufort. I was able to get in touch with her and after 17 years saw her! She was not only a best friend but my Kappa Delta Big Sister. My heart could not have been happier. We both shed a happy tear or two! It is those few people in life where it can be 17 years and you can pick up like you were just together yesterday.

Whitney joined us the next day for the oyster roast and met the little ones and the whole family.


It was a superb weekend!




"Grandpa can you tie my shoe please?"


This little boy was ready to eat!


These fishermen would never lie.... or at least none would admit to it 😜!



Juliette's favorite thing to do with Madeleine is work with her hair! The weather may have been 70 degrees but there was still just enough chill for an early day bonfire. 



Will and Owen challenged each other to the pie face game. Looks like Owen was the winner! Will got creamed with whipped cream. 


May 2017 be as fantastic as was 2016. Greetings from all of us. May your 2017 be filled with happiness and success.
