We had a very busy but great Christmas! It started out on December 16th, when we had our own little family celebration before beginning our travels to NC the next morning.
"What am I supposed to do with these bright, colorful things?"
Daddy helps with the opening...
"Let's see here, did Mom and Dad get me anything good?"
The day after we arrived in NC (2 loong days of driving, but Hannah Beth did really great and we arrived safely, thank God!), we had our first Christmas celebration with some of Tony's family:
Hannah Beth and Aunt Shannon
Great-Grandma and Hannah Beth (worn out from all the traveling)
Papa and Mimi w/Hannah Beth
Posing in front of the Christmas tree w/Alethia's shoe ornament...remembering her big sister and greatly missing our almost 2 year old.
We had fun catching up with some of Tony's cousins who we don't get to see very often!
Some more time with Tony's family (Jean and Tony's dad, [Grandpa]) and Hannah Beth meeting one of the beagles (Hank) :)
Besides family, we also had fun catching up with some friends!
Jennifer, one of my former students :)
Lily Ann (daughter of some good friends of ours) and Hannah Beth met each other for the first time, they were born only 1 day apart!
Visit from my dear friend Julie who came all the way from Virginia!
When sweet little Talia (6 months) and Hannah saw each other, Talia grabbed her hand right away! It was so cute.

So cute! And is that a season of "Monk" I see in the background of the first picture?? We LOVE that show!
That is Hank (the Beagle) and Tony's dad is holding Hannah.
Haha, yes it is a season of Monk..you're very observant, Liz :)
