So far, the 2008 Christmas season has been fantastic! We've visited with friends and family and hosted our first holiday gathering at the new house. Amelia and Gabriel hit it off extremely well and Norah was such a sweet big cousin. Next up is a quick visit to Great Grandma and the relatives in Pennsylvania. Not looking forward to the car ride but we're excited for the snow!
Some Highlights of the Holiday Season so far:
1) The annual SoMd Xmas gathering. This year it was at Sue and Mondo's "new" and improved home! It was a blast to see all the kiddos playing. Last year there were lots of crying infants and this year lots of toddlers climbing up and down the stairs. Extremely cute. See photo of the gang below.
2) Grandma W teaching Amelia how to say "Ho Ho Ho". When we ask her what Santa says, she answers us with a big grin. I'm sure she also wonders how stupid we all must be for not figuring out what Santa says by now. We must have asked her 100 times :)
3) The cousins playing and goofing off and being silly. Gabriel and Norah taking turns sitting by Amelia at meals.
4) Norah screaming "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" at the top of her lungs during our Christmas Day walk through the neighborhood. A few of the neighborhood dogs joined in. It was great!
Really, all the time spent with friends and family meant so much to us this year. We hope to see everyone much more often in 2009.
