Christmas 2011

Well here it is President's Day and I'm just now getting to posting Christmas pictures. This was a hectic Christmas for us. We moved 2 weeks before Christmas, and with great sadness Christmas week also brought the passing of Uncle George.

We managed to still have a nice Christmas at home, despite all the chaos. Here are a few pictures.

At the Dismas Christmas Charities party, Edie FINALLY sat on Santa's lap. She was not to be outdone by her little sister!

Christmas morning, with her activity table from Santa. Notice that she's pulling up on her own!

Santa brought the Tinkerbell Fairy barbies!!! Edie snuck downstairs and ran upstairs with the huge box of them to wake us up first thing Christmas morning. She was SO excited!

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

Its been an eventful few months for us, so Ive fallen a bit behind again on our updates. We sold our house and moved to a new one just before Christmas so its been a bit hectic. Its a bit of a project house so I've been a bit overwhelmed, but I'll try to keep up from here on out. I'll post Christmas pictures separately, and also try to do updates on each of the girls soon too. Molly has changed SO much!! And she will be a year old in just one short month! I can hardly believe it!

We met up with Oma and Opa in Naples to spend Thanksgiving with Big Edie. It was a great trip! Molly did not travel so well on the way home though so needless to say, it may be our last trip by flight until she's a bit bigger! My favorite part of the trip - playing golf with my 92 year old grandmother, and of course she beat me!

Here's a few highlights of our trip-
