New Year..time to post!

Wow, that was fast. Seriously the holidays have left me feeling almost overwhelmed. One minute we are succumbed in holiday cheer and then..WHOOSH its gone. Where did all the Christmas lights go? So Sad. This was by far the very best holiday that I have experienced. C is growing up so very quickly. The joy in her eyes during the holidays makes it amazing. We did so much, I have to post the ever important pics.

During the holidays we visited the Galleria, C was entranced by the ice skaters, there were a group of students there skating and one little girl made an effort of stopping by to say hi to C every time she made a round on the ice, she was overjoyed, we finished up the evening with an excellent meal the Cheesecake factory, YUM!

We went to the Disney live show. That was a hoot. C was just so excited to see "mickeee", which by the way is the second cutest thing that she says, second only to her new word .."Pheease", yep, it breaks your heart. She was so excited by all of the characters.

My sister, brother in law and most importantly my nephew came in for the holidays that was wonderful. During this time I also got a sister in law! It was so nice to have everyone here and feel so bonded again!

Christmas morning was just as I imagined. It was delightful to watch her face light up at the toys and for me it was so nice finally feeling as our family tradition had begun, we had monkeybread and breakfast casserole. Life is good.

I celebrated my birthday, I'm so lucky to get to be another year older. Yeah, yeah, I know getting old stinks, you re telling me, I'm almost 30 (gasp) but its better than the alternative, isn't it? My birthday went on and on, for like a week, it was great! I got the most gorgeous watch from J, its a looker! Speaking of, we each had a wonderful Christmas, J got his coveted Iphone and I got a beautiful purse and embroidery machine. LOVE IT! Oh and we are going to Cali on holiday at the end of the month. We are so excited and will have so much to post about when we get home.

We also went to the zoo, I don't think anyone should go longer than three months without a zoo trip, I think its good for the soul. Check out our pics, there are old and new mixed in this batch, but I couldn't separate)

Oh, and J and I had a date..Woohoo! We spent a day out on the town and got to see the Body worlds exhibit. Completely overpriced, but it was entertaining, I say if you can make it and have an extra $50 burning a hold in your pocket then check it out. Its fun.

Well I think that puts us up to date, of course I know Im leaving so much out, but I will have pics to follow and will try and keep up...

Peace~
