New Years Eve

We spend New Years Eve with my parents. We now have a "tradition" of going to this yummy hibachi grill with them! We indulge in great food like, calamari, fresh veggies, shrimp, lobster and of course chicken! Let's not forget about the wine and Japanese beer!!! The pics are out of order- sorry!

Christmas Eve 2008

Lila Anne and her Grandma!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful evening and spoiling my kids (as usual!)

No More Mullet :)

Today, Mommy, Daddy, and Preston took me to get my hair cut... Mommy kept complaining about some "mullet" thing- I dunno, but it was AWFUL people!! They put this silly cape around me, made me sit in a really high chair, and they preceeded to allow this woman to hack off the back of my hair that I've worked so hard at growing out this whole past year! On top of EVERYTHING, Mommy was trying to comfort me by singing my favorite Elmo song!!!!! Look for yourselves-

I guess it was worth it, because everyone says it looks MUCH better, and no more mullet! (whatever that means...)

Here I am watching Elmo- much happier now :)

And, I still look like a little girl :)

The Next "Big Thing" to come out of the 757....

All Hokied Up!!! Notice the shoulder pads too- this is actually what he looked liked when I picked him up from daycare at the gym yesterday- Daddy took them out!!!

Look how adorable he is in his uniform!!!!! He LOVES the Skins and the Hokies!! He is to the point now too where he not only enjoys watching the games, but also understands most of what is going on!!! Too funny :)

So Big....

Lila Anne demonstrated her super powers ther other day- actually, this is something she does often! She loves to pick up something heavy and carry it around. She gets SO proud of herself- it's a hoot! Here she is helping out with the tree....

And here she is just being super cute :)

Tis' the Season......
