Christmas Time 2011

As I'm getting behind on my blog I've decided to quickly post some pictures of our Christmas activities for 2011.

One last picture.....we almost always forget our anniversary since it falls between Christmas and New Years. This year we actually carved out some time for a date.

Grand America Gala 2011

My brother and his wife put on another great party at the Grand America. I couldn't find a dress I liked so my sister-in-law, Kristen, kindly found me one that I loved. The night started out with a nice dinner in the ballroom followed by dancing and socializing. The boys were a little shy of the dance floor so Lila kindly made up for it by making me dance with her most of the night.

Family Photos 2011

Barely got things pulled together to do photos this year but ended up doing them just in time for Christmas cards. Cold, gloomy day for photos but got some cute shots of the kids.

Halloween 2011

Halloween was almost like Christmas this year. We had numerous parties and the kids collected candy as well as toys at Grandma's house. Liam has outgrown the "cute" costume phase and decided to be something scary this year. Lila was all about pink and actually had more than 1 costume....both pink though. Halloween is definitely a close 2nd to Christmas.

Italy

Got to spend 1 fabulous week in Italy this past August. We spent most of our time in Florence, Rome and some of the smaller towns in Tuscany. Big thanks to Adam and Holly for making it such a fun trip. Here are some random shots from the trip.
