Happy New Year!

And, a big happy birthday to Christopher!  Christopher turned 3 on January 19th and had a very happy, low-key birthday despite being sick!  He really enjoyed his Angry Bird birthday cake :) Although, it's funny because he is not a big cake-eater and just kind of picked at his cake (literally) over the days following his birthday.

                                                                  My, how we've grown!!!

The kids are doing great, and so are we, although it's not about us anymore, right? ;)  We had a really nice Christmas here in Georgia, and the kids really enjoyed the whole Christmas experience this year.  Santa brought them lots of fun presents!  Gum and Pa were here to celebrate with us and share in the festivities.  It was a lot of fun to watch the kids enjoy themselves opening the presents and playing with their toys!  I definitely prefer a "white Christmas", so I'm hoping we will go to NY next year for Christmas, or at least shortly there after.

Ava is really becoming her own little person, and it's fun to watch her grow and develop her own personality. She has a goofy little personality and is such a girly-girl :)   She pretty much enjoys doing EVERYTHING that Christopher does, so that tends to cause issues every now and then, but for the most part they get along really well and it's really cute.

Here are some pictures from the past couple of months :)
