Two Christmases

I don't know what just happened, but I had the funnest (that's a word, right?) time at grannie Annie's and grandpa Lenny's.  I was just minding my own business when a seemingly normal morning turned into excitement galore.  Papers and ribbons and tags, oh my!  I was way less interested in what was inside those lovely crinkly packages than I was the wrapping itself.

A week later I took off on my second flight to Chicago.  I did awesome once again.  I just played nicely in mama and daddy's laps.  I had breakfast and greatgramma Lydia's with the many Meitls, visited my Jarvis family, and saw my cousin Laura get married!  The ceremony and reception were beautiful, and I had my first taste of fish!

Since there are so many pictures from the holidays, I will let them do the story telling.  Enjoy!

Mommy and daddy snuck out for a date night.  Is that a pitcher of long island iced tea?! :)

Watching my first snow flurries fall from the sky

Bundled up... baby it's cold!
