Trying to get Up To Date

It's so hard to catch up when you get behind. I'll try to do this all in one post.

In the past:
We had a great time spending Christmas with the Jones' on Christmas Eve and the extended Jones' on Christmas night. Henry is definitely aware of what presents are now and he had a great time running around with all of his cousins! Some of his favorite gifts were a baseball bag filled complete with gear, a mickey mouse train, a lightning mcqueen ball with a handle to bounce on, and cars, cars, cars. Not sure if he will ever outgrow this obsession. It was so nice to see cousins that live further away and getting all the children together!

We had Christmas at our house and it was so nice to spend it at home. I made a yummy blueberry frenchtoast complete with eggs, fruit, and juice. The boys loved it and I think it will be a Christmas tradition for years to come! Before this though Henry woke up when I was feeding Clay around 6:30 and was ready to see what Santa brought. I thought this didn't start until they were older! Poor Jeff was sick, but was a trooper getting up to watch Henry and enjoy the festivities. My parents and grandmother came over after breakfast to see what Henry got, and brought goodies of their own. After this came a very long, and much needed nap! It was a perfect Christmas Day!

We went to Surfside for New Years with Jeff's brother Rick and his wife Katie. Jeff's twin brothers Russ and Kell met us there too! It was the first trip with the boys and everything went well. I ended up getting sick right when we got there, but luckily it passed by the next morning. We had fun relaxing, eating Japenese, shopping, and the boys (Henry, Jeff, and Rick) even got to play on the beach with cars and trucks!

We came home early to meet Jeff's best friend, Dave and his wife Alexa. We have spent the last 5 years or so with them on New Year's so we couldn't mess up tradition. They live in Virginia and are doing their residencies so we are lucky to see them once a year. We steamed some oysters and in no time caught right back up! It was a lot of fun and made us wish they were closer! Next year they will be in New Zealand as part of their program so we will miss them even more!

If you've been reading this and wondering why there are no pictures, we have been having issues with our camera and Henry decided to finish it off. We have just recently purhased a new SLR camera and are waiting for it to come in the mail. It should be arriving this week so pictures to come!

Ok I think I did it. All caught up!
Exciting Upcoming Events:

Clay turns two months (8 weeks on Tuesday) and I turn the big 30 on Sunday!

Hope everyone had a great holiday and Happy New Year!
