christmas

Well we had a ton of people at my house over the christmas week. My mom stepdad sister and grandparents all flew in from florida. I hosted the christmas day dinner at my house and we had just shy of 20 people at my house. It was a little cramped but came out beautifully simply because everyone was there! I am sad to have sent them all home this monday, but everyone made it home okay. We had our picture taken by george dunlap on friday...the whole group of 20, I proofed them yesterday and they came out good. I had to have daisys head replaced...lol. There was one pic that simply was the best for everyone except daisy who was off in la la land somewhere looking at the ceiling. So for $20 they offered to take her head from a different pic and replace it. Ha ha ha it still amuzes me- the whole head removal and replacement thing- if only it was really that simple! Well anyways it was amuzing and hectic and I loved every minute of having my family back together- probably for the last time as my grandparents just can't take the cold anymore. But i must run as james needs to get to sleep so he can go to work tonight. the next post will probably be in the new year. Wow!!! Welcome 2009, I hope it brings good fortune and joy to everyone!!!

1 year old

Well our daisy ann celebrated her first birthday on wed. as did james his 24th. we had the party on sunday, the turn out was good and i wanted to thank everyone who made it special for my baby. hard to believe that a year ago today we brought her home. she really is a precious little angel. they get so big so fast. for all you first time moms- dont rush your babies into getting to big too fast, i did that with baylie and regret it very much. let them be little as long as you can cuz one day you'll wake up and they wont be anymore.
