A little more christmas

On Christmas Eve we went to great grandma alice and great grandpa al's house. Ashley even has her own drawer there filled with fun plastic stuff to play with.
Ashley was sporting her baby gap dress that aunt shelli got her for her birthday and when i saw these tights in the baby gap window i had to get them to go with the dress and the head band just completed the outfit!

How Norman Rockwell of us is it to be sitting around the living room playing the piano and singing Christmas Carols? And I am sure you all know we are nothing if we are not Norman Rockwell'ish :)

Christmas Time

Oh where to start. Since Ashley's birthday party we have moved and celebrated Christmas. Busy busy busy. I do not recommend moving 5 days before Christmas, but it was so wonderful to celebrate Christmas in our new house. This Christmas was by far the best Christmas that I have ever had. Ashley had a blast and we got to spend so much wonderful time with our families. Being in Pittsburgh this year allowed us to celebrate and relax and not have to worry about getting back home. I also got the joy of hosting Christmas day at our house, I think this is a new tradition that we will continue year after year. Ashley got to see her Grammy, Aunt Nina, Grandma Kathy, Aunt Laura, Grandma Alice, Grandpa Al, Gram Jami, Popop, Uncle Jim, Uncle Matt and Sandy and Philip. It was wonderful! Here are just a few quick pictures, I have so many and some of the move I will have to post them over the next few days.

Post Party Wrap Up

Ashley had a great 2nd birthday party. It was a small affair in our little apartment, but we had a great time. It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year she had just started to walk and was so shy, not this year, she had a blast and even ended the party with thank yous, hugs and kisses for everyone! Here are some pictures from the Abby Cadabby party!
