Annierae's Christmas 2006

Well Annierae enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year! Along with Mom & Dad, she was able to spend time with family & friends, and Annierae had a great time with all of her presents. We went to an early Christmas Eve service at our church, then off to Aunt Judy & Uncle Bob's for our traditional pizza dinner. Christmas day found us at our house hosting the whole family and everyone had a great time, especially with the white elephant gift exchange (sure to become a new tradition).

Here are a few pictures that better capture the fun!

Christmas 2005

Annierae's first Christmas with us was magical.

First, we celebrated Christmas Eve with Mass at St. John Vianney, then went over to Aunt Judy & Uncle Bob's for our family tradition of ordering Pizza! Annierae had a wonderful evening with family & friends and fell fast asleep on the way home.



On Christmas day, Annierae was up early to open presents with Momma & Pappa before the family came over. She was definitely spoiled by all involved, including Grandma & Grandpa via special delivery from Vermont.

Shortly afternoon, Aunt Pat & Uncle Tom along with Aunt Judy & Uncle Bob, Great Aunt Sister Marie Jude and cousins Matt, Sandy and Sara came to our house to celebrate with Annierae.

We had a fabulous meal, dessert, then Annierae opened more presents. She was overwhelmed, but very happy! Once again, all of us present received the best gift by having Annierae in our lives!

What a wonderful gift from God!

Tis the Season

I thought I was doing so well having all my Christmas shopping done and all the presents wrapped before we left for China. Unfortunately, being without a car for the past two weeks has put me behind in my Christmas planning. I am happy to report that Greg did get a new car Wednesday and Annierae and I have been running all over town to get our final Christmas preparation done.

Annierae is doing great she is very social and loves to be out and about. Her favorite thing these days are to go out to eat in a restaurant. She loves all the attention she gets from the wait staff and other diners. We are realizing she is a big ham. She also loves cake and ice cream tonight we went to Aunt Judy's to celebrate Judy's Birthday and once again she got to have her cake and ice cream. I am amazed at how well she eats and it’s beginning to show her face is really starting to fill out, watch out Bryson I'm catching up to you.

Today we tried to have a photo session with Annierae for our Christmas cards but it is so hard to get a good picture of her without the fingers in her mouth. We did get a pretty good one but you will all have to wait for your Christmas cards to arrive to see it. Below are a few of the photos that were taken.

Hope all is well with all of you still visiting our site. We will try to continue to update the site weekly.
