Catching up

Here is the short and long of what is going on in our life lately:

1. Our niece turned one!!! She is a such a beautiful little girl and we are so blessed to live close enough to see her so often. Here is a picture of her on her big day.

2. We had an amazing Christmas with both sides of the family. Curtis gave me the best Christmas present ever and was a perfect angel during the entire Christmas Eve mass. He was super cute in his fancy Christmas duds:

3. We had a super exciting New Years Eve...we were in bed by ten :) Thats was happens when you have children I guess!

4. Seems like I am forgetting something....oh ya...CURTIS TURNED ONE!!!!! I can hardly believe it! We had a wonderful little party and he hammed it up like usual. He started to really walk this week and was loving showing off his new tricks. He blew out his candle on the first try and was HYSTERICAL with the eating of the birthday cake. He decided to eat it right off the table instead of using his hands but the best part was that he was looking around at everyone while he was doing it just to make sure everyone was watching and laughing. Then to finish it all off he gave himself a big sticky round of applause. He is the biggest ham I have ever met! It was a perfect first birthday. Maybe later I will post about how ridiculously emotional I have been about him turning one...or maybe I will spare you. Enjoy the birthday pictures and God Bless!
