Catch Up

Time for some long overdue updates on the fam. This fall we took a drive up through Smuggler's Notch during the height of the fall colors. It was sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! We hiked around a bit and attended a local fine arts fair while we were there. I couldn't pick just one so you'll have to endure several of my fave pics.
Right in our own backyard!

In October we spent a long weekend down in Philly. We figured we'd go down, show off the babe and spend some much needed time with old friends. Besides we couldn't miss our Halloween trip to Linvilla with the Montgomerys , it's tradition! We had a really great time and were able to catch up with many of our close friends that are still in the area.

Thanks again Montgomery's for letting us crash at your place!

We had a great time raking up all of the leaves this fall. T was a huge help and loved jumping in all of the piles in the yard.

Dad turned 30 in November and Mom turned 25 again this year. :) We also celebrated our 7th anniversary!!!

This Christmas we made the usual trip to see Santa at the mall. We took the camera to grab some quick picks with the big man. When we got there we saw a sign informing us that if we wanted pics we had to buy them, which I think is ridiculous!!! So, Eric took the camera and the super zoom lens and stood back in a little kiosk behind the girl taking the official pics. All of a sudden I see this bright flash and hear the camera's shutter click. The girl turned around and gave Eric the dirtiest look I've ever seen. I was trying so hard not to laugh! The best part was that even after the death glare, he still continued to snap a couple more shots!!! As a result of Eric's stolen pictures, he received several lumps of coal in his stocking Christmas morning.

We also spent some time this holiday season making gingerbread houses. We had a great time together and had a better outcome than the gingerbread disaster of 2008 (See previous post here). We had a great Christmas, just the four of us, here in Vermont. We also enjoyed a nice low key New Year as a family. We are anxiously looking forward to a less hectic year.

Now if we can just figure out what we're supposed to do with all of this.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
