Amelia for the Holidays

After Christmas, we went down to Amelia for a long weekend. Boy was it nice! 78 degrees and sunny, wonderful. We were even able to hit the beach and the baby pool. We were a little anxious to see how Andy would take to the beach and water this time (in the past he has been very indifferent), but what a difference a few months makes. He was all about the sand and ocean. Kicking the waves and all. Also, he spent over an hour in the baby pool. Makes us so excited for Summer!

Drums

I had a big Christmas this year! The best part of the whole Season was having all of my family in town. I got some great gifts - a 50's diner, club chair, my own kid-sized table + chairs and a slew of other fun stuff. My most talked about gift had to be the drum set that Uncle Andy gave me. Thanks Andy!...

Means Family Christmas

We had the annual Means family Christmas get together a few days before the Big Day. It was so great getting a chance to see all of my cousins!

Aquarium

This was my first trip to the Georgia Aquarium, and I loved it! The highlight was the scuba diver cleaning the tank (I tried to wave to him the whole time)

Wassup Santa

We had such a blast at Santa Brunch this year. From the all-you-can-eat yummy buffet, to all the decorations, to dancing with my friends to the piano player (with jingle bells) and finally to the big man himself. Christmas is the best!

New Boots

Bo and I met uncle Bill at IHOP for breakfast on Saturday morning. Always bringing hilarious gifts, he outfitted me in a t-shirt that read "I didn't do it", track pants, a ski hat and brand spanking new black and red cowboy boots. I loved the boots and walked pretty well in them (considering Bo put them on the wrong feet!) Thanks Uncle Bill!

Thanksgiving in Richmond

We had a great trip to Richmond over the Thanksgiving holiday! Thank you so much Mimi, Pop and Aunt Kaki for a wonderful trip full of great food and fun family time!
