Easter 2012

Happy Easter everybody! It seems the weather finally received the memo that spring has sprung. We had a GORGEOUS 75 degree day with much chocolate consuming and egg hunting. Fiona colored eggs twice this week - first with her friend Trystan, and then with Mommy. We hope you had as much fun during this Easter week as did. Lots of love.

Valentine's Day Festivities

Happy Valentine's Day week. I just wanted to send some fun photos of the tea party Fiona was invited to on Vday. Her friend, Riley (the one in the pretty dress and curls) and Riley's mama hosted a lovely tea party for the kids complete with heart-shaped sugar cookies, fancy little sandwiches, heart-shaped watermelon wedges, and - of course - tea! The girls had a great time, and there was even a brave little boy who handled his tea and crumpets like a champ. A good time was had by all.

Dressed for the tea party. She's just missing the fancy hat

Fancy schmancy!

TEA!

Christmas Fun

Happy new year! Just wanted to share some photos of our Christmas season that started rather early this year. Bryan's mom arrived Thanksgiving night, and the partying began right away. She accompanied us to choose our Christmas tree, the she and Fiona were responsible for the important job of decorating it. We enjoyed the tree light ceremony downtown, lights and music at the Grotto, building a gingerbread house, among many other adventures.

Fiona received some excellent gifts thanks to many of you. I'm working on thank you cards, so this "thank you" will have to suffice for the time being. It was a very happy Christmas and new year. We hope the same is true for you and your family.
