Holidays 2011

CDB_0019cl
The holiday break was refreshingly simple and warm hearted this year.  We've had friends and family visit from the three corners of our world (Arkansas, Michigan and Pennsylvania). I turned thirty three.

On Christmas day we waited and waited on Lucy to wake up so we could open the many thoughtful presents that were sent.

Things are running slower here with the new baby and we're not making any attempt to make it go faster. It's guilt-free holding and cuddling first and take-out second.
