We are finally home after our first Christmas adventure! It went very well....partly because we now have a van! We brought home a lot of goodies! Whoa!

Uncle Alain loves Miss Virginia!

And she loves him too!

We are working on sitting up.

Cousin Kendall and Aunt Kelly looked so festive!

Virginia and her cousins Maya and Kendall.

Joseph and Maya playing with Virginia!

Sitting up....kind of!

Kevin did a great job reading a story to John.

We love our new books Aunt Patti and Uncle Joe.

Maya made Virginia a new puppy named Vivi. So cute!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus on Christmas morning!


Our first Christmas morning as a family!

Thanks for everything Grandma and Granddaddy!

A pretty view from Maryland on Christmas morning....

and four hours later...one from Virginia!

A good attempt at a picture of Granny B and her 4 grandchildren!

And then it went downhill. Cooper discovered the babies for a minute....and look at Carter. That kid has been trained just to keep on smiling no matter what happens!!

Our beautiful stockings...thanks Granny B! But we just can't bear to take them from your house yet. We love them!

John loved opening his stocking. Clearly.

So did Virginia.


Cooper got really excited about his new present!!


We skyped with my cousin Preston! We miss you!

Our new hats....love them!

Poor Davin....John spit up on him like 5 seconds later.
