Tardy, Belated...grr...just LATE!

Is it seriously already the end of January?  Is Charlotte almost 13 months old?  Did I just download December 2010 photos in January 2011?!?!?  Sigh sigh.  I suppose some things never change.  I was always late to Calculus class.  I suppose I'll always be late to blog as well.

Okay, Christmas 2010.  Charlotte's first Christmas.

She helped me wrap presents throughout December.  She especially loved the ribbon.

She met Santa Claus.  Yes, I know I posted a photo of her and Mr. Claus before.  But you'll love this one.  Charlotte absolutely adored him.  Just look at that big smile.

And of course we had a Christmas tree, complete with Charlotte's first ornament (see bottom right corner).

Finally, here are some photos of Charlotte enjoying those presents on Christmas morning!

So from our family to yours, we hope you all had a very Happy Holidays and are enjoying the joyous (and if you live in San Diego) amazingly warm and sunny New Year!!!

A Cricut Christmas

I love my cricut.  Think of it as a printer that cuts instead of prints out ink.  It's amazing and I think that everyone (especially Kandice, if she is reading this) needs to have one.  :)

While the holiday season is already over, I wanted to show you some of the cricut projects I made last month. 

Here are two Christmas cards.  How cute are those reindeer?

I also made a TON of pizzelles (Italian wafer cookies made using Grandma Smith's family recipe) for my co-workers.  I packaged them in ziplock sandwich bags then made these cute labels for them.  This is probably my favorite project of the season.

And here is the Christmas card we sent out this year to family and friends. 

Hope that everyone had a very Happy Holidays and Joyous New Year!  Photos and posts about Christmas, Charlotte's Birthday, and New Years Eve to come.
