Christmas!

What an awesome Christmas we had this year. We were so lucky to have our two nieces here to celebrate Isla's first Christmas. My sister, Evan and Natalie were here for the actual holiday and how fun was it to watch them together. They even got to visit Santa (I sadly missed that) but the picture is pretty funny, both clearly horrified by Santa. Natalie was so cute, constantly saying "hiiii" and "ba-by" to Isla. Natalie has grown up so much in the past year. She is such a big girl now. She got a stroller for Christmas and pushed that little thing around all day, even while talking on her fake phone. We miss Natty already.
Next up, we had the Watters gang come stay, Alex, Charlotte and Susannah. It was so much fun, it was Isla's first time meeting everyone. Susannah has obviously changed so much since we saw her last which was at our wedding over a year ago. She is awful cute, and quite bilingual. Everything was "si" and "aqua". Susannah also liked her little cousin, "ba-by" and even "ya-ya" (which is our nickname for her given to her by our friend's son who couldn't quite say Isla). Being that they live in San Francisco we don't get to see them too much so it was such a treat to have them here for a few days. Next time we need to make it out there!
On to New Years...my how things have changed. I luckily got canceled from work so Dave and I got to spend New Years Eve together (our "real" anniversary). We met four years ago at an 80's themed New Years Bash, we stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. This year, in bed by 9:30 out cold way before the ball dropped. But it was perfect, Chinese food and a movie, our new anniversary/New Years tradition. I couldn't ask for anything more (other than low fat Chinese food) than a night home with my baby and the best husband in the world! I am so lucky, I love my life so much. I can't wait to see what 2010 brings us! Happy New Year!
