Christmas, 2011

Karen's parents rented a house in Maryland for Christmas so that we could all converge in Ali's world because she just had a BABY!!!!!!!  It was a fun week.  And it is true:  Baby's First Christmas is really just about tissue paper, sparkley lights, and trying to knock over as many wine glasses as possible.  And in Nomi's case, it is about eating and sleeping and lots of trips to the diaper changing table.

Watch out, Stocking, I will be bigger than you next year!

This was Reed on Christmas morning.  Totally content to play in the crib with his toy.  No visions of sugar plums or gift-bearing Santas or anything else.  But smiley nonetheless.



 And then it begins...







Aunties Liz and Mary Kate
Auntie Meg and (can can I say this? uncle) Devin


On Christmas afternoon we were invited to Ivy's (Ivy is Brad's sister) house.  We shared a delicious meal and had the opportunity to toast Liz and Brad on their engagement.  It was really nice to be all together and to meet some of Brad's family.

The lovely couple, Liz and Brad


Nomi was three weeks old at Christmastime.  Such a precious peanut!  I thought she resembled a precious miniature teacup.




Big Sis, Frannie







Christmas Babies!  



And yes--I think Reed really is kissing his cuzzie, Nomi!
