Bella goes "Bye Bye"

New Year's Eve

We celebrated New Year's Eve with Allison, Scott, Natalie, & Bjourn. We had drinks and appetizers at Allison & Scott's house and then went to Japonais for dinner and more drinks. We had a great time. Happy New Year!

Gavin

My mom and I went over to see Gavin open up presents from our family. He will be 3 in March.

Christmas at Tim & Mindy's

We went to Tim (my cousin) & Mindy's house Christmas afternoon to see everyone and had a great time.

We put a Chrismas dress on Bella

Christmas at Mom & Dad's

Craig and I drove to Charleston on Christmas Day to spend the holiday with my family. We went to my parents house to open presents. It was nice to see my family (Dad, Mom, Bryan, and Sef), but we missed having my brother John and sister-in-law Sue.

Christmas

We celebrated Christmas a day early because the kids are leaving for Florida to board a cruise ship for a 7 day cruise. They are going with their mom and step-dad and her family. They are very excited!

The kids got a lot of presents this year. Julia's favorite present was a guitar and Ethan's was a Razor Scooter.

This picture was taken on Christmas Eve Eve (since we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve they got to open one present the night before). Julia got new pajamas and Ethan got a t-shirt from Express.

Baking Christmas Cookies - Video

We got a new video camera for Christmas and I just figured out how to use it so here are two clips from baking cookies.
