In January we kicked off the fun with some of our friends with a trip to the Monster Jam at Reliant. We first went when the boys were 3 but after the meltdowns decided to wait until they were quite a bit older to go again. Some major excitement about this event!

In early February I got to travel to what is now one of my favorite
places Sea Island, Ga to celebrate my mom's birthday. I cannot begin to describe the coastal beauty and the absolute peacefulness of this place. Mom and I had a once in a life time experience on the islands and I treasure these memories in my heart.
