Lots o' Photos

Ok, so it's been a while since I've updated around here, yes? Well, here I finally am. I know it's terribly late to be posting Christmas Photos.... but at least they're here now, right?

As you can see, we've been busy... We had a wonderful Holiday Season, and our new year so far has been fun and normalish and good.

Anyway--enjoy the bombardment of photos!

Christmas Preparations

Of course there was much cookie-baking for Christmas... Especially the night of Christmas Eve, as we wanted to leave a little treat out for St. Nicholas.

Have I mentioned that I seriously think this year's birthday was my best ever? Of course it helped tremendously to have Andy here to spoil me.

She's taken to slurping her milk in the mornings. What can I say? She's my little milk diva.
