Christmas with MiMi and Mac

On Christmas Day afternoon, we got dressed and went over to Andrew's Mimi and Mac's house to open gifts and eat lunch. Andrew had a great time with all his new fun stuff!

Christmas 2010

What a wonderful Christmas we had! Even though Andrew was sick, he remained in good spirits and kept a smile on his sweet face. These pictures are from Christmas morning...

Lots more to come...

No need to fix the broken camera! Santa brought us a Nikon D3100! I've taken about 400 pictures so far, so I've got some sorting (and learning) to do. Until then, I'll leave you with this...

Poor thing has been sick this past week. This picture tells Andrew's story very well: tears, snot, and slobber, all in one picture. :( However, he kept his Christmas spirit and remained a trooper!

Merry Christmas!

A Few More Pics:)

Our friend, Lisa Rappa, has started a photography business and takes some beautiful pictures! We went to the Roswell Mill and Barrington Hall last Saturday, and I am absolutely in love with how the pictures turned out! If you're in the market for a photography for your family, Lisa is great!

Andrew and I have had so much fun the past few days! Because I had a few vacation days left at work, I took Thursday and Friday off. We've done lots of fun stuff: ate lunch together, went to Monkey Joe's, played at Alex and Anthony's house, read tons of books, danced a lot, and even got in a little Christmas shopping!

Ok, here's my update on how much Andrew has grown. He's really starting to become a little boy! He can now say lots of things, like...

• ball
• juice
• Mama
• Daddy
• Uh-oh
• blanket (more like "bankie")
• starfish (more like toteesh")
• Santa (Comes out "Tantas". He hates the actual Santa but loves to point out all the Santas around the house and at stores.)
• diaper
• cracker
• cheese
• please
• shoes
• boots (pronounced "booty")
• water
• two
• bee
• pretty
• yes
• no
• blue
• purple
• car
• makes all the animals sounds
• loves to count (sounds like "ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu, ta-cu"... that's the best way I can describe it!)
• lots of other things I just can't think of right now:)

He gives love, hugs, and kisses all day long. Some we ask for, and some are just given when he feels like it. Sweetest thing in the whole world!

Our camera is still broken, so I've been trying to take some pictures on my phone. The quality isn't great, but it's all I've got for now...

All bundled up!

Climbs the ladder all by himself!

And slides down like a big boy!
