Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas from our house to yours. It was a wonderful first Christmas with both girls, though Charlotte did sleep through most of it. Actually, we bribed her and she is sleeping all day and night and it is wonderful!! I don't know how I will ever get anything posted on the blog once everyone leaves (we have had a full house of Grandma, Kait, Erik, Spook and Nana) but it was wonderful having everyone here. Enjoy the photos.
