Happy 2008!

Well 2008 has arrived and so far, so good! We had a lovely Christmas break that took us to NS to visit with my Mom and Dad. It was great being with family at Christmas time, and even moreso as Mom was just 3 weeks post knee replacement at the time. It was amazing to see her getting around as well as she was and not just that, but preparing a Christmas feast for all of us and trying to not to trip over Reese at the same time! She did great! Despite Reese cutting all four incisors, she was in pretty good spirits. At 17 months old, she didn't quite get the whole Christmas thing yet, but by the end of Christmas morning she had certainly caught on to the whole gift-unwrapping thing. Here she is in her adorable Christmas jammies playing with one of her many Christmas goodies:



She was also lucky enough to get a brand new sled for Christmas. With 30+ cm of snow down in Saint John, we had a chance to try it out once we were home. As you can see, it was a huge success!





Here's my Mom's always gorgeous tree:



And my ever-photogenic Dad opening a gift:



And Reese totally enjoying a toddler sized chair my Mom dug out for her:



So now here we are back to the daily grind. As nice as an extended break is, it's always nice to get back to a schedule and routine! Oh, and at 21 weeks pregnant, we're over halfway there! Happy 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
