More Cuteness from the Holidays

We had a holly jolly Christmas

So we had a great Christmas. Celia still didn't know what was going on, but she loved all the activity and seeing everyone. We tried to get her to open presents, but she really had no interest. She liked the toys once they were open, but the excitement of opening the presents was lost on her this year (next year will be crazy, I know).

 At our house before we leave for the grandparents.  Celia opens her first present (or John opens it):

 She's very excited when she sees Elmo inside:

Grammy & Gramps.  Celia doesn't look very happy for some reason.  I don't think she was in the picture taking mood.

 The great-grandkids at my Granny Williams.  There are usually quite a few more, but these are the ones who made it this year.  Jake, Regan, Danielle, Maria, Thomas, Trent, Kelton, Jackson & Celia

Picture Day

Last time Celia had school pictures, I was out of town on business.  I laid Celia's outfit out so that she would be sure to have something cute on for picture day.  That day I talked to John he told me that he couldn't find the clothes I picked out for school so he just left her in her pajamas!  Obviously inside I was thinking "Oh no, this is disaster, she'll have pictures in her pajamas!," but then I quickly realized that it would make a good story to tell and everyone would probably get a good laugh out of it. 

Imagine my surprise when the pictures came back and looked like this. Luckily the photographer brought the outfits for the kids to wear.

I love it when we're cruising together

As been our tradition since we've been married (except last year when Celia was small and we were lucky to get out to dinner), John and I planned to take a trip over Thanksgiving.  We originally planned to go with just the two of us, but a few weeks before our departure, we decided we couldn't take a full week without seeing Celia.  So we added her to our flight and our cruise and we were off.  We left out of Fort Lauderdale and stopped at Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Bahamas.  Celia was a huge hit on the ship, both with the staff and other passengers.
