Well howdy friends. How many times I've thought about the need to update this blog. Once people started asking I figured it was time. It has not been for a lack of wanting to, but rather a lack of time. Although it only takes a few minutes (okay maybe closer to 30 or so!) ... I literally feel as though I've not had five minutes since probably Halloween.
We took a trip to Hawaii just before Thanksgiving and Lizzy did amazing. She did great on the flights, awesome with the time change and LOVED the beach and the water. Ben and I enjoyed taking her with on a such a special trip ... next time ... it will be just he and I! Haha!

Thanksgiving was a blast and we hosted. I love cooking the turkey and all the fixings. More because I am selfish and think my turkey always tastes amazing ... but I do love seeing everyone and having the family over. Lots of food and just a bit of leftovers ... it was delicious.
The cocktail party was a success yet again. It turned into more of a WWU slumber party and too much alcohol was consumed by all parties (except yours truly!). But it was a blast and below are just a few snapshots to tempt you all into coming next year. Cheers!

From there it was a whole bunch of Christmas parties. Our annual shindig with the Foisy's and the Karp's as well as Christmas with Tobey's, Swerk's and my side. It was busy as ever and some year I am just going to throw my hands up and say no more. If you want to visit you can come to our house. As much as I love seeing everyone. It makes for no rest and no chance to enjoy the holiday just Ben, Lizzy and I! Maybe next year will spend Christmas morning at home ... who knows though!
