Happy New Year

I just realized that I still haven't posted our pictures from New Years Eve! Better late than never.

We spent our holiday in Phoenix with Greg's family. On the big night, there was a large party (about 60 people) at Greg's parents house for his brother Mark, who is leaving very soon for service in Afghanistan. The party was a formal shin-dig, mostly held outside (although it was pretty cold!)

Here is Mark holding Addie. I apologize for the hair, I was busy in the other room and Greg was responsible for this look.

We gave Addie a bath and put her to bed just as the party was starting. She slept all the way through!

Here is a shot of the special blessing she streamed down my leg just before going in the bath. Nothing since Happy New Year like pee-leg.
At the party, we had a special time to tell Mark about how much we love him. Here, a fellow service man presents him with a bayonet to wish him luck.Notice the approving gleam in Mark's eye.
Mark, Jessie & Ally listen to the wonderful words of friends and family. Everyone had such nice things to say about Mark & Jess. We were so proud to be part of their family!
