Where to start?

Well, I don't even know where to start considering I've not been blogging consistently for about a year now.  I intentionally placed the link to our blog on our Christmas letter this year as an accountability for myself, as I know many friends and family have been disappointed by the lack of content here!  This has been an amazing year for us, full of lots of fun memories to share!  So, I'll just start with a few current pics and hope to keep up going forward.  For those of you missing Madison's tricks, there is a complete photo journal at Shutterfly, which is found by clicking the "Our Pictures" link on the right.

Us at Big Tree Farms picking out our Christmas tree!

Mimi and Poppa were in town to join us

Santa had a little cottage at the farm and as you can see, he was a big hit!  She talked and talked to him about all kinds of things.  It was very cute and she really enjoyed the little candy cane the elf gave her after.

Madison LOVED making cookies with Mimi over their stay at Thanksgiving.  Mimi brought a big tub of dough so Madison enjoyed helping all of us have a tray of warm cookies each night.  Yum!  (She has already sampled the dough in this pic, as you can see by the chocolate on her mouth.  That's my girl!)
