Happy New Year!!!

Here are a very few photos of our first Christmas together:

Annie opening her Elmo gift of a stuffy and book from Shirley and Terry!! She LOVED it. You can see the paper all over, well it got MUCH worse!!!

This little chef's outfit was a gift that Daddy bought Annie and she loved wearing it around. It is still a little too big but she is a hoot in it!! The second photo is on Christmas Eve after Church. We were getting ready to sit down to a quiet meal.

This photo with the stockings and hat were also taken on Christmas Eve while we put our Santa stockings out. Annie was putting on the stockings and looked so very cute!!!! This last photo was taken by Daddy. Annie is "caught in the act"!!! This box of goodies from Saltspring had tins full of cookies and gingerbread men. We had tucked it away in a corner in the kitchen that we "thought" was safe. Not so much. We heard some shuffling around and then tins being opened so Daddy went to investigate. Needless to say, here she was, little Miss Adventure with her hands in the cookie tins!!!!

We had a lovely Christmas with family and friends. There are lots more photos of course and some video but they have other people in them so I don't feel as though I can post them here. Our New Year's Eve was spectacular and that is with many thanks to Norm and Dorothy for staying with the kids. Annie was asleep before we left which seems to work.

Happy New Year to all!!! All the best in 2010.

A few notes:

-Annie is saying "scuseme" when she tries to get around things and people

-Annie loves to have the candles lit so we have our evening meal by candlelight every night.

-Annie has learned how to open and close her toy box without hurting herself!! Yippee!!!

-Annie is giving us tons of hugs and kisses, running up into my arms and snuggling (want to remember this time when she is a distant teenager!!!!)

- it took me all day to write this because Annie doesn't like me on the "puter
