Mariner's First Visit !




Last week Alistair got to meet his Mariner (Grandma Watkins) for the first time. Flying in on a 6 hour flight from Florida was all worth it when she finally got to meet her first grandchild. We laughed and cried the whole time she was here and as you can see from the pictures they are in love.

After church on Sunday we picked out our Christmas Tree and went straight home and decorated it.
We hung up our ornaments that Jeff and I made each other through the years and even had Alistair's first christmas Ornament hung.
When we all weren't paying attention Mariner hid the Pickle ornament in the tree so when Christmas Morning finally comes the person that finds it gets to open the first present !









Alistair got to meet his Great Great Uncle Peter and Great Great Aunt Bettina. I'm pretty sure they liked him.






Mariner's promises to visit us every six months and even bought us a webcam for weekly updates with her new baby grandson.
We miss you already !
