Colin's bday & Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday Colin! One year ago, Jack and I were just hoping and praying to keep this small little baby alive and healthy...and after a year, we've all made it! We celebrated twice--Lori flew in a couple weeks ago, and we celebrated again on Thanksgiving with the rest of the family.
Colin's 1 year stats: 31 inches, 25.8 lbs.
Colin loves grapes, so I attempted to spell his name out with grapes on his cake. The nieces helped me put frosting and sprinkles on the cake. Colin ate all of the grapes and some frosting...

It's winter time here!

We spent Thanksgiving at Jack's mom's house..and the whole family was in town! Colin was playing in the mud and got his pants wet and dirty. We took them off and were drying them...and then he was called in for the grandkids picture. So he's not in his best outfit, but nevertheless, we have a picture for the memory books. Grandma with all 8 grandkids.
