Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Anniversary to US!

Sorry, we have lots to catch ya'll up on... We (I) have been a slacker with keeping pics posted...
We have had lots of great fun lately, we went to a live nativity, got a visit from Santa (James' grandma lives on Christmas street, and Santa makes a special stop there the Saturday before Christmas, and all the grandkids get stockings as he calls out their names), Kaylie doesn't love Santa... he's a stranger. :)

We went back and forth between families for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Celebrated our 4th anniversary at Little America (thanks to Gma Kercher for watching Kaylie overnight!), then we spent New Years Eve with friends and New Years Day once again with both families... Lots o' fun, and lots o' packing stuff up! We had a blast, and as we took all our decorations down, we felt an empty feeling...
Here's some pics from all the fun:

If you look closely, you can see a real Mary, Joseph, and even a real baby Jesus!

Santa brings hot chocolate and donuts for all the "big" kids...

Doesn't that just break your heart! (Mean mom!)

We were up til 1am putting the dang thing together!

But it was all worth it to see how much she LOVED her kitchen the next day (or technically later that morning...he he he)!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember her ultrasound??? Our peace baby!!!

Okay, so there's a timer on the stove, and she loves to shake her arms while it counts down!

Her other favorite toy, it was so funny watching her go back and forth, she was completely torn as to which to play with!
I got a new coat...much needed. And James got a new U hat, and Red Sox shirt (without a name on the back, just in case that person ever traded to the yankees...) (he burned his Damon shirt...)

We got the "Romance Package" at Little America. We had such a blast!!! We went to dinner at Biaggi's (highly recommended!!!), to a movie, and then hung out and got room service! The package at the hotel was awesome, it included yummy sparkling cider, chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries, a gorgeous long stem rose, and a key with our anniversary engraved on it! It was by far our favorite anniversary yet!!! Here's to another 4 plus!!!

We love all the pictures! And Sam lovingly points out that Damon signed with the Yankees... I always say traded mistakingly (so James had every right to burn that shirt! :)

How are you feeling?! We hope all is going well! It was so good to see you! We love and miss you guys!

Looks like you guys had a very fun holiday season! It was really fun to see you guys the other night. We need to do it more often! I really do need to come over and see Kaylie's cute room! I ended up going with the top bedding on my blog. Hopefully I will like it!

This may sound SO WEIRD, but I can't remember how I know you, but I know I do. I was just "blog hopping" and saw your picture. Can you help me!
