A Very Merry Minnesotan Christmas....
We got to spend over a week in MN with the family over Christmas.
It was a lovely time! We already miss you guys!

Celebrating four family birthdays:
Dan (Jan 7), Isaac (Jan 1), Barb (Jan 7), Heidi (Dec 31). Carissa made them all cupcakes with their favorite candy on top.



Tim and Carissa's family + Marie. Isaac turns 4 on Jan 1, Naomi is almost 2 and Ada is 4 months in this photo. Oh, and Tim and Carissa both just turned 30!


Uncle Chad and Aunt Heidi posing for a photo. This was their first Christmas as a Mr. and Mrs.!

Uncle Dan and Marizzle. She warmed up to him after about a day. Can't blame her - he's a scary dude.

Day 1 of Sledding around Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Uncle Chad pulling Naomi and Marie around the yard.

The Little Girls.



This was the beginning of Marie's 2nd sledding adventure at Chad and Heidi's. We used a pair of Chad's socks as leg-warmers.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland on the trails behind their house.



The Hollinbeck's





Daddy carried Marie and the sled up this big hill while Mommy shouted threats at him in the event of a fall. (My concern was more aimed at Marie's well-being).

Coming down without a topple!

"That was pretty fun, Dad! Chill out, Mom!"



Probably one of our last Family-of-Three Photo Ops.

And here's one of Marie and Lucy from today! Marie got Lulu a matching hat in Minnesota. She loves hers (Thanks Carissa!)

And...a big congratulations to Lucy's Mommy and Daddy, Mr. and Mrs. Sargeant, on the birth of Trigg William on December 30th! That's TODAY! We had the pleasure of watching Lucy for a good chunk of the day, and will get to play with her again tomorrow morning. We were supposed to take her when they went into labor, but they called and were on their way to the hospital about 2 hours before our flight home from Minnesota departed! Trigg wasn't due until January 16th! Thankfully, they had a back-up plan in place. You can click on their link on our homepage to see photos. We were his very first visitors at the hospital today!

It was great to see you Tar Heel Meehans. Thanks for making the trip with the pregnancy and sickness. Hope the flight home was less eventful then the one here.

I love the pictures in the snow. Oh how I am jealous that you got to see a "season"! Lucy loves her hat and asks for it so she can wear it in the house. Marie just gets more and more beautiful every day, as does her momma. We love you all! Thanks for taking such good care of us.
