Closing out 2010 and moving into the new year...


We enjoyed a wonderful month of celebrations along with lots of family time and visits with good friends...
We visited with Aunt Barbara, Uncle Rob and Josh for a nice evening of great food, great laughs and great company...it had been way too long since we had spent time together.  Hunter enjoyed tearing into his Christmas gifts and testing out his new puzzles and Toy Story Woody car! 









Even Maxwell was there to participate in the evening!
Christmas Eve fondue at Gram and Pap Pap's house :)



Hunter getting the carrots ready for Santa's reindeer...

He mastered the art of tearing into presents pretty quickly...

hanging out at Gram and Pap Pap's


My trip to visit Grandma Kitty and the rest of the family in Florida was full of laughs as usual...there is no lack of entertainment there between Grandma's funny comments, the brothers picking on each other and our late night spades games until the wee hours of the morning!  It was a great trip  and many great memories were made! :)

You might say he loves his choo-choo train...
