Happy New Year!

It was just the two of us this year (Elora was asleep), and when it came time to welcome in 2010, we kept it simple: some champagne and a kiss. :) Blessings and joy to you all! Happy New Year!

Photo Session Highlights











My sister, niece, cousin, daughter and I had some photos done while we were home. Merryn, my cousin, is pretty much the third sister. These are the highlights. Can you figure out who is who? Here's a hint: my cousin is the one who's expecting. :)

Christmas Markets, Christmas Trees and Christmas Decorations.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Elora and I went with Peguy and Neil, and Neil's Mom, Angela, to the Christmas markets in Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart. It was a blast!! There was all kinds of great stuff, and I managed to score a few Christmas presents.

Then, that Sunday, Brandon and I picked up a Christmas tree because I couldn't stand not decorating for Christmas. Never mind that we're going to be away from home over Christmas, we're here now. At least the tree is artificial, so I won't have to worry about dealing with a dead tree when we get back. I just hope that Han doesn't knock it over while we're gone.

And, here are some of the other decorations around the house:

Old Photos, New LO

These are some pictures we had done a while back--6 years back, to be exact. I'm planning to do a new LO with these old pictures, when I find the time and the inspiration. They're fun pictures, I need to do a fun page to do them justice.
Here's my new LO using Kelly's new Great Outdoors Kit. It's my first time doing a photo cut-out like this, what do you think?

A Day in the Life of my Elora Baby

Crawling to do.

Naps twice a day.

Yummy fruit and cereal for lunch.

Toys to play with, mischief to find.

Things to inspect. (Like Momma's camera.)

Things to learn and practice. Really, she's a very busy girl. And on top of all that, she's finally getting some teeth in! The bottom left cut through a few days ago, and the bottom right is on its way.

Poor thing. At least the chilled teething rings help.
